Thanks, Cindy
Yes, it does seem strange that the names all match. It is the only year I can find them
together. I do find what may be my grandfather in the 1880 census, Cass Township, Ohio
County. The mother is Susan Lewis(this is the reason I thought her name was Susan
Elizabeth or Elizabeth Susan). Susan is a widow, lives with son John Lewis who is 17,
that is correct for being born in 1863. They live next door to Robert B.(Bruce?) Lewis,
age 23. A first name of Bruce is very uncommon back then it seems. If you haven't
checked the Switzerland cemetery records yet your James P. Lewis could you look also for
the Grandmother, Susan Lewis born about 1805 from that 1870 census.
Thanks, Burnice
