Hi,
It sounds like we may have a connection. Our Lewis family was in Erie Co., NY and also
in LaGrange Co. Ind. in the same time periods. James and Thomas L. LEWIS were near
Newstead and Akron, NY as early as 1820. Their brother, Reuben Lewis was in LaGrange Co.
Ind. ca. 1840s. I have been seeking the whereabouts, also, of their youngest brother
ALPHEUS LEWIS b. 1799. I'm wondering if he is the same man as Olmstead Lewis, and
changed his name...as he disappears from record after being mentioned in the will of their
father, James Lewis in 1818 in Tompkins Co., NY. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Helen Lewis in FL
