I have this John Lewis as the son of John Lewis who was born in London, England, about 1590, baptised 13 Dec 159 at St. Nicholas, London, England, and married Joan Powell on 22 Jul 1612 at St. Martin's in the Field, London England.

I have good reason to believe that my LEWIS lineage from Lewis LEWIS/aka Lewis ap Lewis connects closely to the 1st Generation John LEWIS who died in 1697 in Northumberland County, Virginia, and married Mary GARNER shown in the first set of information as shown below my email that comes from the LEWIS DNA site.  I am not sure but I think that the timeframe would make it possible that John LEWIS and Mary GARNER were the parents of my Lewis LEWIS/Lewis ap Lewis LEWIS/Lewis ap Lewis but I don't know if the possibility exists for them to have had another son or not, (the names of their children that I have found, so far, are listed below.) Mary GARNER and John LEWIS' son, William LEWIS, married Elizabeth COX who was a daughter of Vincent COX, Sr. who was, also, many of us believe, the father of Hannah COX who married 1st husband, George LAM(P)KIN, (my 8th great grandparents,) and then 2nd husband, Dr. Samuel DEMOURVEL(L)(E)/DEMOURVILLE.  It is possible that Hannah COX could have been related to Vincent COX, Sr. in another way but most likely, (with the deeded land to her and husband, George LAMKIN,) from Vincen COX, Sr.,) was that Vincent COX, Sr. was the father of Hannah COX. I am interested in any information that may have surfaced regarding Vincent COX, Sr.'s involvement with the Nanzatico tribe in Virginia as well as the possibility that his 1st wife might have been of either the Nanzatico or the Patawomeck tribe and/or the daughter of (Captain) Henry FLEET whom, apparently, lived with the Patawomeck tribe and may have had an earlier wife before his wife, Sarah, and, thusly, may have had a daughter who married Vincent COX, Sr. as his 1st wife. George LAM(P)KIN and Hannah COX were the ancestors of the Lewis LAMKIN who married Mary "Polly/Molly" LEWIS, daughter of Elizabeth JOHNSTONE and Lewis LEWIS/aka Lewis ap Lewis. Hannah COX and Elizabeth COX as sisters would generate great likelihood that the LEWIS family of Lewis LEWIS/aka Lewis ap Lewis was the same LEWIS family as the John LEWIS who married Mary GARNER. Immediately below my signature, the first information is from the will of Jane MARTIN, mother of Elizabeth JOHNSTONE who married Lewis ap Lewis LEWIS and Jane JOHNSTONE who married James LAMKIN, all of the mid-late 1600s Northumberland/Westmoreland County, Virginia, ancestors of my Lewis LAMKIN who married Mary "Polly/Molly" LEWIS, born:  prob. bet. 1720-1725, Death : 30 JAN 1758, (recorded in the Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Northumberland County (1661-1810,) VOL 3: Record of Deaths,) daughter of Lewis LEWIS/Lewis ap Lewis LEWIS/Lewis ap Lewis and wife, Elizabeth JOHNSTONE, and immediately following that is more information about the family of John LEWIS of mid-late 1600s in Northumberland/Westmoreland County, Virginia that married Mary GARNER my family group of MARTIN-JOHNSTONE that married into my LAMKIN and LEWIS lines and in it there is mentioned a man by the name of James GAYNOR and wondering if there might be a connection with the Mary GARNER who married the John LEWI! S, 1st Generation as shown below. I look forward to hearing from any of you who may be able clarify some of these things. In advance, I thank you.

He married Elizabeth JOHNSTONE whom I believe is related to the Jane JOHNSTONE, (daughter of James JOHNSTONE,) who married James LAMKIN and they are related to a John PAYNE, Jr.. Is this the son of John PAYNE, born: abt. 1615 in Yorkshire, England, who immigrated to Rappahannock, VA and married Margret(t) ROB(B)INSON,(dau of Richard ROB(B)INSON prob. who was early immigrant to Tidewater area,) whose daughter, Margaret PAYNE married 1st husband, John JENNINGS, and whose 2nd husband was Christopher EDRINGTON, Sr.? In the information below it shows these lines connecting to my COX lineage with Hannah COX and others. And there is a Jane MARTIN in connection with this information below that I am also trying to sort out where she and the Elizabeth PAYNE aka Elizabeth JOHNSTONE fits in to this immediate LEWIS - JOHNSTONE - LAMKIN family group that also connects to some of my other family lines as well. Looking forward to someone who has more clarification on some of this information especially regarding who the parents of this Lewis LEWIS were. Thank you.

VA Note: 4 Issue of John PAYNE and Elizabeth AWBREY/AUBREY Source: Indenture between William PAYNE, Jr. and Francis AUBREY dated July 25, 1722 ) Elizabeth JOHNSTONE and Jane JOHNSTONE were the daughters of Mrs. Jane (MAIDEN NAME UNKNOWN)JOHNSTONE MARTIN. << Jane MARTIN's will: Jane MARTIN, widow, dated 2 Feb. 1676, Copeley Parish, Westmoreland Co., VA. She says, "Unto my daughter Jane JOHNSTONE my plantation...If it should please God to take from this life my daughter Jane before she is marryed or comes of age or dieing without issue, the estate to fall into the possession of John AWBREY and James Gaynor. Unto my daughter Elizabeth PAIN to the value of fourty shillings...John AWBREY being a liver att my house shall there remain without opposition during the finishing of this crope (sic) or longer as he may find to his conveniencey and not to admitte of any person to dwell upon the plantation without consent from what estate I have willed unto my daughter Jane. (signed) Jane (hF) MARTIN." Proved 16 May 1677. "John Payne Jr. was married before 1676, because at that date his mother-in-law, Jane Martin, left a will naming her daughter as "Elizabeth Pain." This woman Elizabeth is often called Elizabeth Awbrey, but that is incorrect. The confusion comes in because Elizabeth had a sister named Jane who married John Awbrey, a man old enough to be the girls' father. With a mother called Jane & daughter called Jane, a man much older than his wife, and the fact that John Awbrey was mentioned in mother Jane's will--all that taken together resulted in an incorrect assignment of John & Jane Awbrey as Elizabeth's parents. However, mother Jane Martin's will makes it clear that her daughter Elizabeth is married to a "Pain" and that daughter Jane Johnstone is underage. (John Awbrey appears to be an overseer or something to that effect, and is mentioned in the will. His exact relationship to the family is unclear, but he is obviously not Elizabeth's father.) Assuming that married daughter Elizabeth is older than underage daughter Jane Johnstone, I have also *assumed* that Elizabeth was a Johnstone (rather than a Martin). (See more of Jane Martin's will at the bottom of the page. I can find only an excerpted will at the moment. I'll try to find the full document later.) Mother Jane Martin was evidently married at least twice, earlier to a Johnstone & last to a Martin, who left her a widow. But neither of her husbands is known, nor is her maiden name known. I have both John Payne Jr. and Elizabeth Johnstone Payne dieing c 1698, though I have no reason given as to why I recorded that. The only two children I have for them are "our" William & brother John. The records Shawn sent (below) indicate these realtionships. ---record--- 1. "Payne Records from Westmoreland County, Communicated by Mrs. J. C. Pollard Wesmoreland County. Book 7, page 354 Indenture between William Payne Jr. and Francis Aubrey July 25, 1722.

I have looked for them for a while now, but still can't come up with them. I'll keep looking & send them out asap.)
