Pauline, I am not having much luck in sending out general information on my Lewis Family of Carmarthenshire to the list or otherwise. My browser is now opened to the web site for the National Library of Wales. They have or are supposed to have a link to find a researcher close to the library who might be willing to help me with an eyes on project there for my Lewis family. New information has just crossed my desk in the past week. I have found the 1850 census for Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA in it the son of John reports that he was born in the same parish that his father was baptized in years before. His birth would then be about 1813. This makes it more likely than not that his parents John and Sarah were married at this parish. From what I can gather taken from the stone's inscriptions at the cemetery John was born 13 February 1771, from information sent me taken from the NLW his baptism was 15 February 1772 at what appears to be Llandeilo Abbercywyn, Carmarthen, Wales. In the 1850 census just mentioned John who is also calling himself William. Both John and William report that they are married to Cynthia but in different sources. It is she who has the same birth date in both. Again in different sources these men William and John also share the same death date making it highly likely that they are the same person just using possibly first and middle names at different times in their lives. Only the spouse named John is marked on the stone next to Cynthia at Christ's Church Cemetery with the date of death. I believe that we are going to find the John married Sarah in Carmarthenshire at least before 1813 the year given as the birth of their son. They appear to have come to America together. I don't know if they had other children. What I would like is the name of a person close enough to the NLW who could for a fee try to locate John born 1771, Sarah born about 1779, and John who could be using the given name of William was born about 1813. If I can find them I will have some chance for locating a departure date and place to the USA.

Daniel , A reply in haste as I am just back and reading many messages. I understand your problems working from a distance. I do not think my Lewis are connected to yours till I look at dates carefully. I do have Rachel LEWIS BORN 1838 in Carmarthenshire, she gives the location of birth differently at different times but they are all correct!basically 2 miles from St Clears and near Laugharne. Her Marriage to my GTxxGrandfather Lewis MORGANS born 1834 Pembrokshire was in LLanfihangle Abercowin /Abercywn in 1870. Her youngest brother and last in the family did emigrate and now has family in Texas with whom I am in contact. So there could be a connection through him. The other possibility, that may help you could be the Lewis family members I have found who are not mine but Carmarthenshir/Pembrokshire.born. If you would like me to look back over what I have let me know either on List or at pippyx@tiscali.co.uk This is not the magic reply we all wait for but I think worth mailing in case something looks useful. If you have any other odd snippets of information and want to mail them then it often helps. Cheers, Sue in LLantrisant, Glamorgan Wales. ************************ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel David Lewis Frommherz" <mckenzie_market@mckenzievalleymarket.com> To: <CARMARTHENSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 9:22 PM Subject: [Cmn-L] Lewis at NLW > Pauline, I am not having much luck in sending out general information on > my Lewis Family of Carmarthenshire to the list or otherwise.
