I have searched but am unable to locate a birth date for William. He was about the right age, 20 years old, to be in the Civil War, but I am unable to show any service in the military. He married Anna Crawford, b: 4 Mar 1847 in St. Louis, Mo, m: 30 Mar 1873 in Adams County, Illinois. They had a son, Joseph Walter Lewis b: 26 May 1874 in Illinois. At some point they moved out west to Yolo County, California in the late 1870's. Then they settled in Shasta County, Cal in the 1880's. In California they had six more boys. I am willing to share information on this family. Any help would be great. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
