I would get a DNA test in a heartbeat! Unfortunately I do not know any male Lewises in my line. My last direct Lewis was Nellie Capitola Lewis Nelson 1871 - 1914, lived her whole life in the Stockdale area, Riley County, Kansas, except for going away to school at the Kansas Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb in Olathe, KS. Her brother Charles Walter Lewis, born 1873 in or near Stockdale, Kansas, moved to Washington Territory between 1880 and 1887 with their father, grandmother and one or more uncles. I have found them on the 1887 Lewis County, Washington census: Lines 4-7: Lewis, F.M., 26 male, blacksmith, married, b. Indiana (uncle Francis Melvin Lewis) Lewis, Anna, 22, female, married, b. Wisconsin Lewis, Mahala, 66, female, b. Kentucky (grandmother Mahala Lett Lewis) Lewis, W.L., 23, male, farmer, b. Indiana (adopted uncle William Lincoln Kress Lewis) Lines 29-34: Lewis, D.T., 36, male, farmer, married, b. Indiana (father Daniel Thomas Lewis) Lewis, Rissa, 25, female, farmer, b. Illinois (stepmother Tharessa A. Biss) Lewis, Charles, 14 male, b. Kansas (brother of Nellie Capitola Lewis) Lewis, Leona, 5, female, b. Kansas (stepsister of Nellie and Charles) Lewis, Edith, 3, female, b. Kansas (stepsister of Nellie and Charles) Lewis, Orville, 1, male, b. Washington (stepbrother of Nellie and Charles) I believe he is the Orville Lewis who died in April 1974, last residence Randle, WA. If so, he had a son name Wilfred. I have quite a bit of information about my Lewises, but always welcome more. Are there any male descendants of Charles Walter Lewis or Orville Lewis out there? Let's talk. Judy
