I realized that Thomas SR Lewis had a Matilda as well. She was born 1830 and died 1874. She was Christopher Columbus Lewis sister. I think your Matilda(1830-1860 ish) is the one who married John Lewis, Benjamin's son. They had the children you mention above. Who is your grandfather? Also you mention the marriage record between Martha and a John. Can you tell me more? I will have to look back again but I think Matilda, CCL sister married a Conn. I think a John Conn.

I am of this family as well. They are very complicated to say the least. I have spent many hours researching the Lewis lines! My mother was a Lewis. Here is a bit of what I know. There are many Johns, Thomas, Martha, Mary Benjamins Edwards etc. which makes tracking them harder. Some Lewis lines came from Wales. I am a grand daughter of a Thomas Sr Lewis. He and his brother Benjamin can be found in Va and then Floyd. This is such a long story so I will try to summarize. In his later years, Thomas claimed he was from Portugal. Some records say Va. Ben and Thomas both went to Floyd Co Kentucky. Thomas had 3 wives and a whole bunch of children. The last wife Delilah Blankenship, is one of my grandmothers. They gave birth to a Christopher Columbus Lewis, my g g grandfather. I think Matilda is Benjamin's daughter. I think she married John Lewis, one of Thomas sons. John was born to Thomas with his first wife, Elizabeth ( lost maiden name) His second wife was Elizabeth Burchett. John Lewis and Matilda had Hannah 1824, Parker 1831, Miranda, Louisa, Harmon, Joseph, Catherine and maybe another boy or two. Miranda may have married another Lewis of which I am again related. Lewis, Burchett, Blankenship, Galloways and others show up in Floyd Co and are neighbors. My line is Mom ,1928, James Lewis Jr. 1907, George Thomas Lewis, Christopher Columbus Lewis and Nancy Ann Galloway, Thomas Sr Lewis and Delilah Blankenship. Thomas parents are unclear and I cant remember off hand who Delilah's parents were. I am very interested in your information. I guess we are cousins! I can probably help more. My brain is getting old and I cant remember all of this info. Luckily we have ancestry to store it all for us! Sharon Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The marriage record in Floyd Co., KY is for John Lewis and Martha Lewis, but it may be her. John and Matilda end up in Wayne Co. WV in 1850 and 1860 censuses. They have children Harmon, Parker, Joseph and Catherine in these censuses. My 2nd great grandfather was born before them, but I think he is also a son of John.
