Thought I would also send this to this List.

Lewis Carleen, These are my "other" LEWISes! You have run across my 3rd-great uncle and his family. My Franklin County (maternal) LEWIS line is down from James LEWIS and Angeline BEASLEY, who came to Franklin County before 1834, via Tennessee/Kentucky, from North Carolina. My other (paternal) LEWIS line is this one: Stephen LEWIS, b. bet. 1775 and 1778 in Frederick Co., Virginia, married about 1801 Juliana GRIFFITH, b. abt 1786 in Maryland. Whether they married and later moved west to the Scioto Co., Ohio and LEWIS Co., Kentucky area (these are just across the Ohio River from each other, and early families appear to have moved several(?) times from one to the other - and back), or met and married in the LEWIS Co., Kentucky/Scioto Co., Ohio area is presently unknown - but they were in what would become Scioto County by about 1800. (Stephen and Juliana were my 4th-great grandparents.) Stephen and Juliana had the following children: David LEWIS, b. about 1800 in Adams (later Scioto) Co., Ohio. Mary "Polly" LEWIS, b. 1802 in Adams (later Scioto) Co., Ohio. William LEWIS, b. abt 1808(?) in Scioto Co., Ohio. Jemima LEWIS, b. abt 1809 in Scioto Co., Ohio. Fielding (Fielden) Tilton LEWIS, b. 22 Feb 1810 in Scioto Co., Ohio. John T LEWIS, b. abt 1812 (1822?) in Lewis Co., Kentucky. Stephen LEWIS, Jr., b. 18 Jan 1814 in Lewis Co., Kentucky. The Stephen, age 46, you found in the 1860 Census is Stephen, Jr., son of Stephen and Juliana. Stephen, Jr. married Ann MORGAN on 5 Apr 1834 in Scioto Co., Ohio Stephen, Jr. and Ann had the following children (known and identified with certainty): Mary A LEWIS, b. 11 Mar 1835 in Lewis Co., Kentucky. William LEWIS , b. 9 Mar 1837 in Lewis Co., Kentucky, died aged 3 days. Juliana LEWIS, b. 29 Apr 1838 in Lewis Co., Kentucky. Elizabeth LEWIS, b. 29 Nov 1839 in Lewis Co., Kentucky. Stephen S LEWIS, b. abt 1840(?) in Lewis Co., Kentucky. Prudence LEWIS, b. 31 May 1845 in Lewis Co., Kentucky. Commodore Perry "C. P." LEWIS, b. 12 Dec 1847 in Lewis Co., Kentucky. John A Brady LEWIS, Rev., b. 9 Mar 1850 in Lewis Co., Kentucky, (twin). Robert R LEWIS, b. 9 Mar 1850 in Lewis Co., Kentucky, (twin). Fielding David LEWIS (see below). The Fielding listed in Stephen, Jr.'s family is Fielding David LEWIS, and his information is as follows. Fielding David LEWIS, b. 10 Sep 1853 Lewis Co., Kentucky, d 26 Feb 1881 of consumption in Lewis Co., Kentucky, buried at Black Oak Cemetery, Lewis County. Fielding David LEWIS married Nancy Jane GRIFFIN 17 Feb 1878 in Vanceburg, Lewis Co., Kentucky. They had the following children: Pearlie Ann LEWIS, b. 11 Feb 1879 in Lewis Co., Kentucky. Albert Jackson LEWIS, b.26 Jan 1881 in Lewis Co., Kentucky. The other Stephen, age 21, you found in the 1860 Census is the son of John T LEWIS (brother of the above Stephen (no, I cannot explain the Jr. reference) and Angeline SHAIN. John T LEWIS was a son of Stephen LEWIS and Juliana GRIFFITH. This family is also well documented in Lewis Co., Kentucky thru the late 1800s. So you can see that the Fielding LEWIS listed in the Stephen LEWIS family in the 1860 and 1870 Census in LEWIS Co., Kentucky cannot be the same individual as the Fielding LEWIS who is as on of the Stephen LEWIS family in the 1860 and 1870 Census of Perry Co., Illinois. None of my "other" LEWISes ever came to Franklin Co., Illinois (to my knowledge), but Stephen and Juliana's oldest daughter Mary married Edward CAMPBELL in 18?? in Scioto Co., Ohio, and at least 3 of Edward and Mary's children came to Southern Illinois, among them my 2nd-great grandfather, David F CAMPBELL - who came to Blissville Twp., Jefferson Co., Illinois and married there to Maryann Louisa DEES. However, for several years I have been trying to trace and connect 2 or 3 LEWIS families who show up in Jefferson, Marion, and Perry Counties at about the same time (from just before 1850 until just before 1860), and trace back to either Kentucky or Ohio. Given the names of the children (generation to generation), and the ages of the heads of household for these families, I believe that one or more may well be connected to my "other" LEWIS line. Some of the descendants of these so far untraced LEWIS families ended up in the far western reaches of Franklin County now and then - among them some of the children of Fielding William LEWIS (father of Bell). As I pointed out in my last (summary) posting: Bell was d/o Fielding William (or William Fielding) LEWIS; Fielding William was s/o Stephen D LEWIS; Stephen D LEWIS was s/o Fielding LEWIS of Warren Co., Ohio - this much is fairly certain. But, though I do have mention of a David LEWIS and a Fielding LEWIS who moved from Virginia to the Warren Co., Ohio area in the very early 1800s - I have not managed as yet to determine that that Fielding LEWIS is with certainty the grandfather of Fielding W LEWIS of Perry Co., Illinois. Would love to hear further from anyone having connections with any of these LEWIS families.
