It said Charles father was from Texas and Mother from Missouri. I'm just trying to stay in Missouri till i find something concrete elswhere. I have the death certificate and it has no names for parents. A lady from Platte Co. Gen .Society said she found the marriage license of Charles and Alice Davis-Lewis but it had no names either. The obit just mentioned 4 brothers and 2 sisters surviiving him in the town, it mentioned before that, that Charles was from Platte Co. I can't seem to find any connections of Lewis's in Platte Co. The 1880 census someone found for me with a Charles K. Lewis is a year older than mine, but I'm still going to persue it to see if it is mine or not. It shows a Carrie in the census as sibling to the Charles K. Lewis and Charles and Alice named a daughter Carrie...perhaps a name given after the aunt?!? I'm not sure where Charles and Alice were in 1910, perhaps Missouri or Illinois. I'm not sure if i have where their children were born at that time. Russell was born in 1912 I beleive i have as Illinois, Hancock Co. One daughter, born in 1910-11 died in 1920 i beleive in Scotland Co., Memphis, Mo (2 years after Charles had passed away and I think Alice had remarried to Alfred Blaine by than...or close to the date. I will check the 1910 census for Missouri and Illinois and see what shows up and hopefully maybe if it says the same as where Charles parents were from. I'm stuck in Platte City, unless the 1880 census is his family, but still I need to go to Platte to prvoe if it is or not. Thank You, Teri
