A source called "Notes in church register of members who moved to Indiana co.1750 - co.1860 gives a lists of individuals who "moved away." It states (parentheses is theirs) "Michael Ludwig (Lewis) and Elisabeth, m.n. Ried, and 1 child (with 4 others by his first marriage.) I checked over Michael Lewis's that a had who married in North Carolina and found a Michael Lewis (May 19, 1799-December 11, 1860) who married Maria Elizabeth Rominger on February 8, 1821. According to Rominger's Roam, a book that several families that descend from Romingers and live in the Hope area, Maria E. died in North Carolina on November 3, 1830. Michael and three children, Josiah, Mary and Caroline moved to Bartholomew Co. It notes that he later marriage Malinda Gentle and they were living in Bartholomew Co. in 1840. The dates of birth and date are consistent with the years found in the Ried family record. However no mention is made of Armstead or Elizabeth Ri! ed (Reed). The dates though leave room no Elizabeth to have been married to Michael between the two marriages listed. I can't confirm based on the information that I have that the two Michael Lewis are the same though it appears highly likely.
