Dear Bill, I would like to know if you know any more about Onie Laurie Lewis Riley? Catherine Lewis married David Raley in Clay Co, IL. She was the daughter of Silas Lewis & Elizabeth Dowling. The ancestor of this family was John Robert Riley born abt 1787 NC married to Catherine Rossiter. This Riley family could have been in OH at the same time as the Lewises. John Robert Riley had a brother James in the 1840 census of Clay Co, IL. I never found him after that census. John Robert Riley and part of his family migrated to Linn Co, KS.

Of course there were a lot of people who dropped out of the Friends around the time of and after the American Revolution, so in some way it is not surprising your search of Friends records did not reveal "your" Isaac. I suspect "your" Isaac could be descended from another son of the "first" Lewis in my line, Henry Lewis (Abt 1645-1688). Concerning changes in faith within families, when I was in Nauvoo, IL with Webb second cousins we searched in the Nauvoo Cemetery for my Webb great grandparents George Washington Webb (1850-1925) and Ellen Elizabeth Lewis (1853-1927) graves. Much to our surprise we noted a number of Lewis burials in the Catholic section of the Nauvoo Cemetery. I discovered later that two Lewis boys married two Kelly "lasses", which explains the Lewis burials in the Catholic section of the Nauvoo Cemetery.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: jmyoung365 Surnames: LEWIS, KIGER Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lewis/11412.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: To the best of my knowledge the LEWISes in Salem County, NJ do not show up in any Quaker records. By the time we get to my 2nd great-grandmother, Mary Ann LEWIS, marrying in 1832, the family was definitely not Quaker. Mary Ann and her presumed brother Isaac (he'd be Isaac III in Salem County) married KIGERs who were from a family that was originally Catholic when they arrived in Salem County in 1738 but who had long since all become Protestants--mostly Methodists. It would not surprise me if the LEWISes were originally Welsh Quakers who later joined other Protestant religions or no religion at all--they don't appear in ANY religious records in Salem County which makes it all the more fun researching them. There marriage records are all in the county clerk's records--not church records. LEWIS was not a common surname in early Salem County and the few LEWISes I've found there other than the three generations of Isaacs were listed on census and other records as being Black and being freed slaves from Maryland. This makes me all the more certain that my LEWISes (always listed as being White) migrated to Salem from somewhere else--possibly shortly after the Revolution. They were there by 1793 at least. Chester County was just across the river from Salem County so the migration would have been a simple one. Hard to tell about the religion of the earliest generations other than I don't find them in either Pilesgrove or Salem Quaker records and I do find the earliest Isaac I've located in Salem County on the 1793 militia list (although many Quakers are included on that list as well). I've not found any wills or deeds where the wording might suggest they "affirmed" rather than swore or anything like that. Howver, they are almost entirely surrounded by Quaker families in that area. I think the major clue I have is that the given name Isaac appears generation after generation in my family and this is probably the closest location I've found other Isaac LEWISes. I have been to Swarthmore College Library and have pretty much exhausted all existing Quaker records in NJ and Swarthmore. My grandfather and everyone before him were Quakers so I have many Quaker lines and have done lots of Quaker research. The LEWISes enter the picture, though on my grandMOTHER's side and, as noted above, they were not Quaker. I will keep my eyes open for information on the Chester County LEWISes--I had been aware of the Quaker LEWISes in Chester County before but hadn't known of an Isaac in that family until now.

Author: davewb07 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lewis/11412.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: No big surprise to find another Issac Lewis in Salem County, NJ, considering there were Friends (Quaker) communties in southern NJ. When I lived in Bordentown, NJ the local Bordentown Historical Society was located in a former Friends meeting house. When I visited the Uwchlan Friends Meeting House grave yard in Chester County, PA I was a bit disappointed that there were not many grave markers. I later found out that the Friends did not believe in marking graves with headstones. Have you figured out if the Isaac Lewis in Salem County, NJ was a Quaker or not? If this Isaac Lewis was a Quaker there is likely Quaker Meeting House records for the meeting house he belonged to. Check out the Swarthmore (College) Friends Historical Library for Quaker Meeting House records, they have a number of Quaker Meeting House Records. I also highly recommend the book "Our Quaker Ancestors: Finding Them in Quaker Records" by Ellen Thomas Berry and David Allen Berry, published by Genealogical Pu! blishing Co.
