I too believe that Richard, Thomas and Isaac Lewis were brothers. On your website you state that your Thomas B. Lewis is the same Thomas Lewis in Wilkinson county in 1820. My information states that Thomas B. Lewis from Screven county, Ga received a land lot in Early county(Decatur) in the 1820 lottery. Since the census and the lottery were both held in 1820, he would not have been in Wilkinson county in 1820. Thomas Lewis had been a resident of Wilkinson county for some years. He was a Wilkinson county coroner in 1816. Do you have further information that positively proves that Thomas B. Lewis is the Thomas Lewis in 1820 Wilkinson? Was his wife still living in 1850 Decatur county? There is also an indication that Thomas was still in Wilkinson county in 1823, but I have not been able to track him. I thought he may have gone to Alabama and am still working on this trace. Richard Lewis was born in South Carolina as verified by his youngest son. He received a Wilkinson county land lot in the 1805 lottery and he was living in Jefferson county at the time of the drawing. There was an Isaac and Thomas Lewis living in Jefferson county at the same time, so I am trying to prove that they were brothers. Isaac Lewis and his family moved on the Houston county, Ga and I believe he is buried in that county. I am still early in my research and will be glad to share information with anyone reseaching these Lewis lines.
