On Morgan Lewis, I have census reports for 1871 and 1881. I do not know when he died, or where he was born. I have a list of his children, but not his parents. I have found a John Morgan Lewis but this is not the same person. Morgan might even be a middle name. By 1881 he was a widower and his son Burton was living with him. Morgan was married to Sarah Chute b. 1821 from Clements, Annapolis, NS married around 1849. There were 7 children one died at 1 year or so. Every database I have seen on rootsweb shows birthdate of Burton at 1864, but both census reports would make him born 1859. Everybody shows a Clarence born in 1859 and died 1860 in Richmond County. Morgan has me puzzled. It may be that he isn't even from Nova Scotia originally. My Sabeans came originally from Maine and Massachussetts. Alan Lewis Portland, OR PS Besides Lewis, Sabean and Chute, I also have Mullen, Grant, Gilliland, Marshall, Charlton in my lines placed in Nova Scotia.
