I am researching the LEWIS family of Lockport. My great-grandfather's Civil War letters were addressed to: Thomas L LEWIS Esq, Lockport, NY. Thomas was born 1809 and died in Lockport in 1875. He married Maria Elizabeth CHASE (b 1810 Martha's Vineyard, MA) in 1833. Children of this marriage were George Trumbull, Ferdinand Claghorn, Lydia Spa(u)lding, and Alice Ann. Maria died in 1851. Thomas married Harriet Mighells in Lockport in 1861. They had one child, Estelle A. Thomas' father, also named Thomas, was born in England. He married Ann Groves in Portsea, England. I noted the Thomas LEWIS mentioned in Debbie's posting re "The Pioneer History of the Holland Purchase of Western New York". Ed in CA
