I have a newspaper from 1879 that has a story in it about Lewis Chew from Atchison, Kansas. I tells how he was a policeman that was trying to arrest a black man and was shot. Lewis shot the man and then died of his wounds days later. If this sounds like your Lewis let me know and I will scan the article and email it to you
I have a strong hunch that Richard Chew married to Margaret Thornton - Jan
30, 1873 is the son of William Chew & Ellen Cox. I'm decended through William
& Ellen's other son Thomas Jefferson Chew.

I have a strong feeling that Richard Chew married to Maggie Thornton on Jan 30, 1873 in Christian Co. Illinois is the son of William Chew & Ellen Cox.
Here at the notes I have on the family of William & Ellen chew. I'm decended from their son Thomas Jefferson Chew b March 11, 1851 Indiana and d June 16, 1927 in Joplin, Jasper Co., Missouri. I believe that William probably died there also, but am waiting for a death confirmation

Richard
Your grandfather's father was Minard Thomas Chew (Born in Illinois) who married in 1902 Nelly Gay Evans (Born in Kansas 1885). Minard Thomas Chew's father is Richard Chew (Born 1849 in KY) who married Margaret A. Thornton in January 30, 1873. Much more information on the Chews later.
My grandfather (Minard Chew in Portland Oregon) was the brother of your
grandfather. I Never really knew him though and am like you looking for
information about him. My grandmother was a great help in information but
still very limited. I was united with these family members in 1993. Velma
Chew (Cole died last December) who was the wife of Minard. My hopes is to
share information. My last name has been changed as I was adopted by my
step father.
