Message Board Post:
Helen -
I am so excited to see your post _ I have been trying to locate you at a 1980 address on
correspondence I found in my parents' genealogy files. My folks are now both
deceased. I am trying to digitize the family history by using their information
supplemented with additional "official" docs.
I descend from Reuben & Caty Gibbs Lewis through Elizabeth Lewis and James H. Randol.
I want to credit you for the compiled notes that you shared in 1980 - i.e. set you up in
my FamilyTreeMaker Master Sources. My quest is to finish my dad's lines by Jan 2008
for my sisters.
I have pulled most of the census records for ch of Reuben and Caty - Sylvester eludes me.
I have the notes wherein you say he went to CA in 1849 and returned to KS in 1870. I was
hoping to find him on at least one of the records 1850, 1860 or 1870(?)
I have some questions that I hope you can help me with:
(1) Is it possible to get a copy of the biography of Wesley Lewis?
(2) I cannot find a marriage record for Sylvester Lewis to Anna Lovina Smith for 1834 in
Ashtabula County, OH(?) It's probably right under my nose(?)
(3) Have you been able to find Sylvester on any Census record 1850 ?
(4) Is BJ Shawd kin to you? or do you know who BJShawd is? I keep finding posts with that
name and have tried to e-mail, but no response. The data looks good, I just want to have
sources. For examaple - I received a copy of the original obit for Benajah Lewis - I will
be happy to send you the JPEG(?)
Please e-mail me at raysal(a)alltel.net
Thanks,
Sally Randol-Hardy
