Hi,
I relatively new to this list and wanted to throw out the names I'm
researching.
Looking for descendants of Lewis Edward(s) born 1789 in Parrish of Mallwyd;
died 1837 in Parrish of Llanymawddwy. In 1808 in LLM, he married Elizabeth
Lewis/Roberts, born 1788 in LLM. Her parents were Lewis Roberts and Catherine
Jones.
Lewis had one sister, Jane b. 1786; 2 brothers, William b. 1791 and Rowland b.
1792.
Lewis and Elizabeth had nine children: Robert Edwards b. 1809 (my direct
descentant); Edward b. 1811; Lewis b. 1814; Catherine b. 1817 and Barbara b.
1819 (believe both died same year they were born); Rowland b. 1822; Catherine
b. 1825, John b. 1820, d. 1852 (in U.S.) and Barbara b. 1832. All these
children were baptized at the Dinas Mawddwy Congregational Chapel.
Robert married Laura Evans. I have no other information on Laura before they
emigrated to Cambria Co. in PA. Robert sailed from Liverpool (stated in his
Declaration of Intent) but I do not have the year. He was not in PA in the
1830 census but was here in 1840 census.
Family history states that on the voyage here they had to bury a baby girl at
sea, but since I haven't been able to find any ship records, I haven't been
able to verify any of this.
I have information on Lewis Edward(s) further back (to early 1700's).
Would love to hear from anyone who might be related to either Edwards or Laura
Evans.
Martha
