Anyone have more information on this family found living in Dayton, Sebastian County, Arkansas in 1880? Many of their children are also in Dayton found living together without their parents in 1900. Their son, John Wesley Lewis is in Hartford, Sebastian County, Arkansas in 1910 and in Lewis, Scott County, Arkansas in 1920 and 1930 married to Mahala Arvilla [--?--]. What I find interesting is that the younger John Wesley Lewis is found living in Scott County very near Charles Claud Lewis, a son of Powhatten Pleasant or Perkins Lewis, in 1930. Powhatten is the son of Claibourn Lewis who is the son of Earl Eason Lewis b. abt. 1760-1770 in Virginia. I am wondering if the John Wesley Lewis family and the Earl Eason Lewis family may be related in some way? I have been unable to find census records for the other children in the census records, 1910-1930. I list John's middle name as Wesley since in one census record John, Jr. is listed as John Wesley Lewis and in the marriage record for the younger John W. Lewis and Mattie A. Tyler he is listed as John W. Lewis, Jr. **JOHN WESLEY^ LEWIS was born Abt. 1819 in , , North Carolina, USA, and died Bef. 1900. He married RACHEL E. [--?--]. She was born Abt. 1840 in , , Tennessee, USA, and died Bef. 1900. Children of JOHN W. LEWIS and RACHEL E. [--?--] are: i. WILBURN C.^ LEWIS, b. November 1853, , , Kentucky, USA. ii. JASPER W.
