The only problem I have with this lineage is not having seen any proof for Lewis being the son of Ned. Does anyone else have evidence proving this link, such as a will, land records, etc. Ned was in Clay county, then his area became Perry County in 1821. Why does Lewis go to Floyd County? He is continuously there from the 1830 census on. Census info on Edward's family below.
