They married, and then Gideon & Sarah moved to 'Little Sandy' Morgan Co., Kentucky. Your JAMES was born before the creation of LESLIE County in 1878. No one todate had found census records of your JAMES to publish or post in discussion lists on Rootsweb mail lists. Can you enlighten all of us LEWIS researchers about your JAMES LEWIS and wife ELIZABETH CALHOUN? I can tell you that JAMES was born on lands that became LESLIE COUNTY, KY. In addition: Gideon LEWIS born 1825 (on lands of Clay County that became LESLIE County, KY) was s/o THADDEAUS LEWIS 1785 NC and MARY (Polly) ROARK 1785 NC, as their 7th child. THAD was s/o James T. Lewis 1735 Wales - 1825 KY and WINEDERY(winnie)HENSON 1764 NC - 1825 KY. 'Winnie' was second wife of James T. Lewis, and was daughter of Paul Henson the neighbor of James when he lived in Ashe County NC and in need of a wife, after DEATH of his first wife mother of his first three children were born in NC. All other children were borne by 'Winnie' Henson Lewis. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
