    1. [GENMASSACHUSETTS] LEWIS Bros., Boston, 1850-1900

    3. Hi again,   I just changed the search term to  "W. K. LEWIS, Boston"  and found the brothers in a "Boston Directory" on-line.    I think this Directory is from 1857,  and the initials of the brothers are mentioned.     And, I think it says the home is in Roxbury.   http://books.google.com/books?id=nYIqAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA215&lpg=PA215&dq=%22W.+K.+Lewis,+MA%22&source=bl&ots=kc2FIQfAcX&sig=JB4dbd4UOa4p2me90b8xKZOqcJA&hl=en&ei=3Fm2TsbOMOPL0QGl0pjSBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false     It mentions it was a .pickle.  company on Broadway.    I just noticed the brothers are mentioned separately,  Edwin, Charles, and George.     With that new information,  I was able to find Edwin:   LEWIS, EDWIN J   (1860 U.S. Census) MASSACHUSETTS , NORFOLK, 5-WD ROXBURY Age: 40, Male, Race: WHITE, Born: MA Series: M653 Roll: 517 Page: 618   It seems that the brothers were definitely into  "pickles."      I wonder when they switched to "baked beans."   LEWIS, EDWIN J   (1880 U.S. Census) MASSACHUSETTS , SUFFOLK, BOSTON; 24-WD Age: 60, Race: WHITE, Born: MA Series: T9 Roll: 561 Page: 124     Just an FYI for you.   Betty               (near Lowell, MA)
