LEWIS, 32, in Arlington. His wife is Josie, 29, both from MA families. They have a daughter, 5, son, 2, and an infant son. And, he has his mother, Mrs. Mehitable LEWIS, 63, living with them. In 1910, Horace E. LEWIS, 62, is living alone in Arlington. In 1910, Horace A. LEWIS, 31, is in Cambridge, and with a wife, Sarah, and an infant son, Horace A. In 1920, Horace A., 41, with his wife, Sarah, and son, "Osborne," is 10 and son, Samuel, is 4. So, so far, this line of Horace LEWIS, goes back to one b~1848 in MA. Sorry .. I got interrupted in the middle of this posting, and I can't finish what I want to say right now. But, I did make a discovery. The census records show that the Horace LEWIS in Arlington is part of a line of Horace Lewis' going back to ~1800, all born in MA. But, before that, the ancestor was from England in the late 1700's. And, he seems to come from Co. Herefordshire, England. I checked and that is only a few miles from Wales, and it borders on Co. Shropshire, England. And, my line of LEWIS men go back to late 1700's in Co. Shropshire. So, there is a small chance that my friend and I ..are .. "distantly related.
