Bryan Lewis and I have spent some time recently researching this LEWIS
family, from which Bryan is descended.
The family connection with Monmouthshire seems to have started with
Edmond LEWIS who was born at Eglwysilan in 1700 son of Lewis EDWARD. By
the 1730s he was farming at Marshfield, but also had several grants of
land in Whitchurch, Glam. & land in Bassaleg. In the 1730s he married
Sarah Lawrence and in 1743 they had a son Edmond. This Edmond married as
his second wife in 1771 at St Woolos Anne NICHOLAS (nee BARBER) daughter
of Adam Barber, Mayor of Newport, and they lived in St Woollos in the
1770s but by 1783 they were farming Deri Farm (Rhiwbina), Whitchurch.
Their son Edmund was born at St Woolos in 1774, married Rachel JOHN of
Pentyrch, and the family continued to farm the Deri for many years.
The first Edmond Lewis had brothers Lewis Edward of the Green,
Michaeston super Ely, Rowland Lewis of Bwlch y Cwm, Eglwysilan and
William Lewis of Whitchurch, and two sisters Margaret & Ann.
There are several references to the family in the Diary of William
Thomas 1762 - 1795.
We would be very interested to hear from anyone with an interest in this
family.
