Dear list, I have been making great inroads to my maternal family from South Wales of late. At this time the National Library of Wales reported to me that William Lewis brought his son John to be baptized on 15 February 1772. His stone here in the USA shows his birth on 13 February 1771. The 1850 census indicates that John remained in Carmarthenshire where he married Sarah whose name is shown on the same stone as her husband. By 1850 they are in the USA but I don't know when they came over. This census shows that they had at least one son who as shown below says that his name is William probably born in 1807. There is a stone in the same cemetery that says Cynthia was the wife of John. I don't know who is correct can anyone in South Wales help me sort this out? Please note how they spelled the family surname. We are now searching for John and Sarah with a child William born about 1807. I have written to the cemetery and church where they worshiped for a better glimpse of just who they are and how they are related. This is the spelling that was given to me by another independent researcher whose location has been lost since he changed his email address: L.
