This is new I received it this morning Monday February 21, 2005. After all this time I found it in my own back yard so to speak. Can anyone add anything to this most recent turn of events? Lewis, John - born at La Parish of Landille abba Ganon, Garmathern, South Wales Feb. 13, 1771 died at Rye, Oct. 5, 1846 aged 75 years, 7 months, and 23 days. Burial is in the Christ's Church section of Greenwood-Union in Rye, Westchester County, New York, USA. Lewis, Sarah - born March 12, 1761 died July 20, 1845 aged 84 years, 5 months, and 8 days (wife of John) The National Library of Wales you might remember from past emails gave a baptismal date of 15 February 1772 son of William. Location was Llandeilo Abbercywyn, Carmarthenshire, South Wales. His mother wife of William is not listed on the parish records. The researcher who sent me this information suspected that William had not married at this parish and did not know if John was born there either. At the time that John Lewis came to the USA after his birth I do not know what his family group looked like at this time. Was it as a child with parents, a single man or a married father with children? Subsequent census enumeration's indicate that his son John Jr. was born in Connecticut but I don't know where. Two of his granddaughters were also born in Connecticut. Thank you Daniel Lewis Frommherz Fourth and Fifth great grandson of John Lewis Sr. and his father William Lewis
