Michael, Please excuse this novice attempt to learn more about my Lewis (Lewes?)ancestry. Your messages on rootsweb.com have always been intriguing and most informative to me. I have never thought there might be any remote connection with my line, but have always enjoyed your postings. Your response to Robert K Lewis shown below piqued my interest, however. In 1990, I visited Lewes, Sussex, UK on the way from a Conference in Eastbourne by train to London. Unfortunately, this was many years before I started working on my possible ancestry. Before my DNA tests, I thought our people came from Wales, but since my tests show that the origins were much more likely to have been from southern England, I have renewed my interest in Lewes. Sadly, my EKA is Robert N Lewis, my ggfather, b. in VA, USA in 1798, and died in TN, USA in 1859. Although I cannot document it, my earliest relatives were told that their VA Lewises came from Massachusetts, perhaps through New York. I know it is impossible for me to make any connection anywhere with so little to go on, but wanted to write you to see if you had anything that might help or at least, if for nothing else, to say thanks for your most thoughtful and learned postings.

Lewis, Jr. (6 or 7 grand-nephew). Hello Robert: It just happens that I have been researching this Lewes line for the past couple of weeks. It has been widely suggested that this William Lewis was descended from a Lewis family from Penarth, Glamorgan, Wales. This turns out not to be the case. There is no evidence to support the claim that this William Lewis was born of a family from Wales. In fact, the William Lewes who travelled to America on the Lyon in 1632 was born in Hadleigh, Suffolk, England, into a Lewes family from Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk, from which William Lewis of Roxbury, Massachusetts and Edmond Lewes of Lynn, Massachusetts originated. This family can be traced in parish records to 1537, with Edmond Lewes as the patriarch. They are undoubtedly of Sussex origin, from the town of Lewes, Sussex, and may have been known as "de Lewes in the 13th through 15th Centuries. I'm still compiling considerable research into parish records of the Stour River Valley in Suffolk. I will post more detailed family history of this line soon.

Hello Robert: I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. Unfortunately, I don't have much information on the Virginia Lewis lines, as I discovered early on that they migrated later and from a different area than my Edmond Lewes line. However, there are some Roberts in my line line from Lynn, so your family history could be accurate. I don't have much information on Lewis's who left Massachusetts, but I'll keep this in mind. The Revolution scattered everyone about and introduced new ideas, people and places to the early colonial families. It's much harder to trace lineages after 1776. Best of luck in your research. Feel free to write if you have any specific questions I can help with.
