I live in Liberal Kansas. I have been doing genealogy for about 30 years and enjoy the access that the Internet have given to us that live far out from the population centers. My search toward the Lewis line started with the murder of my great grandparents in Southern Oklahoma in 1895. The mother was Louisa Lewis, daughter of Martin and Winnie (Allen) Lewis of Cocke Co. TN, to Collin Co. TX in 1867. I in the last month have become a BIG fan of findagrave.com. I have had virtually ALL my direct ancestors graves sent to me on line by different volunteers in different states. You might try it. Just last week I asked for a picture of a grave in Farmersville, TX. The morning after I asked, the digital picture was sent to me by a volunteer who lived nearby. This has happened to me a number of times. Great site. Now about our Lewises. Here is what you do. 1. Go to Yahoo and type in John Lewis Milly Canady in the browser. Click to search. 2. The third entry down it says "Martin's Mother and Father". Click the entry to the website. 3. Spend a good time reading Jimmy Lewis's website about the Lewis family. By the way, he lives in Jacksonville, AR, just next to you. Get back to me and tell me how you enjoy the site. Look forward to hearing from you!!
