    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Lewis Lee Nelson Townsend Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ok.2ADE/635.1 Message Board Post: I saw your post about Lees in Fremont County. The Nancy (Jane) Lee who married Moses (M.) Lewis is my second great grandmother. She is the daughter of Green Lee. After she married Moses, they moved first briefly to Nebraska, then to Warren County, Indiana, then to Fountain County, Indiana. In the Iowa 1885 census she has returned to Hamburg, where she is living with her daughter, Alice Lewis, who later (23 October 1887) married James T. Townsend - another son of the Hiram Townsend you refer to in your post. My question has to do with Moses Lewis. A bible records lists his death date as 27 December 1881. I would like to know if he died in Fountain County, Indiana where his family was listed in the 1880 census or in Fremont County, where his widow is listed in 1885. Nancy Jane Lewis died 22 March 1906, and according to her death certificate, was buried in Hamburg. Was she buried in Hamburg Cemetery? Alice and James Townsend were said to have been buried there. AND is there anything else in the Nelson file about their son Charles (Henry) Lewis and Ida (M.) Nelson? (They moved to South Omaha.) AND is there a Lewis or Townsend file in Fremont County containing records of this family?
