Hello,
I am hoping you may be able to help me trace my ancestors David J. Lewis and
his wife Mary Lewis. David J. was b. about 1802 in Wales. Mary Lewis was
born 15 May 1799 in Wales. Their marriage was recorded on 12 Jan 1821
Llandloes, Montgomery Co. Wales. They had 4 children born in Wales:
1. Mary, b. 1826 Wales (my ggrandmother)
2. Elizabeth, b 18 Jun 1826 Wales
3. John, b. 24 Mar 1830 or 31, Montgomeryshire, Wales
4. David J. b. 14 Feb 1831 Wales
The family came to this country sometime between 1832 and 1834 settling in
Oneida Co., NY where he followed his trade as a weaver. Another child,
William O. Lewis was born to them in Oneida Co.,NY. By the early 1850s the
family had moved to Boonville, Oneida Co., NY where David J. became the first
coal dealer.
I would love to be able to trace the family back a little farther and would
really like to learn about the parents and ancestors of David J and Mary
LEWIS.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me with this.
