My ggrandmother Diana (Delphia? in some census records) may have had one or more brothers from their mother, Sarah Leannah Brown Lewis, b. 1799, when she was was married to John Leith Lewis, before she married Aaron Baxter, father of Samuel Baxter, my ggrandfather. However, the dates of their births don't reconcile. Some of us think that Diana (as we know her) had a brother named John, and since she was born either in 1828 or 1830, he could have been born within a year or so of her. Sarah Leannah and Aaron had several children, also; and Sarah and Samuel are the parents of my ggrandfather, William C. Baxter. This Cocke County Lewis thing has us unsure of exactly where the line goes. I do not know if this is your line or not, but if this helps, let me know. Gene Baxter, ggggrandson of John Leith Lewis and Sarah Leanna Brown Lewis Baxter Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
