Shelly I just looked thru the info you sent and was wondering about the W. B. Lewis. Would this be a William Bazel (Basel) Lewis? If so I would be interested in the family of him. I have been told that there is a William Bazel Lewis in my history. He is either one of five brothers which came to the USA or is a descendant of one of those brothers. They came to the USA from Wales. I am looking for information on his family as well as the families of the others in your list. Thanks you for any help you can give me. Terry E. Lewis Wichita, KS. -----Original Message----- From: LEWIS [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shelley Cardiel Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2017 11:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LEWIS] LEWIS Family Photograph I've "rescued" an old photograph of Nate LEWIS which was taken at the A. Kracaw Studio in Washington, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1860's or 1870's with Nate likely in his teens or 20's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Nate and his family: Nathaniel Clabaugh LEWIS was b. 11 Jan 1849 in Washington Co., IA to parents William Blackstock LEWIS (b. 4 Sept 1806 in Garrard Co. KY-d. 20 Feb 1888 in Washington, IA) and Elizabeth "Eliza" Jane DONNELL (b. 7 Jul 1809 in Bourbon Co., KY-1894). Nate's parents were married in Indiana on 24 Nov 1828 and are said to have had 13 children. Their children included, Samuel Milton; Nancy Catherine or Katherine; Robert Porter; Thomas L.; James Harvey; Mary Ellen; Cassandra Jane; Elizabeth Emily; Lizzie E.; Thomas Luther; Nathaniel Clabaugh; John Nuton; and Josephine LEWIS all born between 1829 and 1851in either Decatur, IN or Washington, IA. Nate died 8 Apr 1873 in Washington Co., IA and is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Washington, IA. These six siblings are buried in the same cemetery with Nate, Nancy Cathrine LEWIS VINCENT (1831-1908); Robert Porter LEWIS (1833-1924); Mary Ellen LEWIS MARSHALL (1838-1912); Casander Jane LEWIS (1840-1894); Thomas Luther LEWIS (1846-1937); and John Nuton LEWIS (1849-1908). Census records provide the following details: 1860 census of Brighton, IA: W. B. LEWIS, age 55, a Farmer, born KY Eliza J. LEWIS, age 51, born KY Mary E. LEWIS, age 21, a Teacher, born IN Casander LEWIS age 19, a Domestic, born IN Elizabeth LEWIS, age 16, a Domestic, born IN Thomas L. LEWIS, age 14, born IA Nathaniel LEWIS, age 11, born IA John N. LEWIS, age 11, born IA Josephine LEWIS, age 9 born IA 1870 census of Center, IA: At the Iowa Hospital for the Insane Nathaniel C. LEWIS, age 21, born IA I'm hoping to locate someone from Nate's family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
