Surnames: Lewis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kg.2ADI/1706.1 Message Board Post: I have a g-grandfather George Lewis who, I believe, was born about 1854. All I know for sure about him is that he married my g-grandmother in Pike County, IL on 1/2/1877. According to family lore, he died about 1885. There is a George Lewis in the 1880 census living in Hannibal, MO who I believe is the same George Lewis based on the fact that his wife's first name as reported in the census is the same as my g-grandmothers first name. He gives his age as 26 in the census meaning he was born about 1854. Could this George Lewis be one of the three children that preceded James Lewis in death that were mentioned in the obituary you posted?
