Hallie Rayburn Lewis s/o Samuel Lewis and Linda Ella Browning m. 15 Dec 1896 FCI I didn't think to talk to Hallie about his ancestry when I met with him in 2009. I was primarily focused on him identifying people he knew in WTHS yearbooks at that time. I have WTHS yearbook photos of Hallie Fred Lewis and all his siblings. So sorry I didn't discuss genealogy with him when I had the chance.
