This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Lewis-Davis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GMB.2ACE/682 Message Board Post: I have a great Grandfather that was born in 1875, Platte City, Mo, married in Platte City in 1899 and died in 1918 in Iowa and his obit mentioned having 4 brothers and 2 sisters surviving him in Platte City, Mo. I found him in the 1900 census living with wife and in-laws. Someone just found a possible family that could be his. Where is Boone Co and far is it from Platte Co. ? Can someone do a census check on this family after 1880 to see if they were back in Platte City? Or possibly an earlier census on where these Lewis's might have been? 1880 Columbia, Boone, Missouri Joseph S. Lewis 38 IL IL IL Rachel E. Lewis 34 VA VA VA Earnest H. Lewis 9 MO IL VA Walter F. Lewis 7 MO IL VA Joseph Lewis 5 MO IL VA Charles K. Lewis 4 MO IL VA (b. 1876) Carrie A. Lewis 2 MO IL VA Joseph was a coal miner. Notes: Charles and Alice Davis-Lewis had a daughter named Carrie, perhaps named after Charles sister if this census is his family. TIA Teri
