I am still working on and trying to find out the lineage of my oldest grandparents William Lewis, SR who married Jane Griffith in 1740 at the First Presbyterian church in Philadelphia. I am trying to find out who their parents and siblings are. They are associated with the George family. I am sending this to several lists due to different counties being named in PA hoping someone on these lists might be able to add to these families. They moved to Loudoun County, Virginia and became part of the New Valley Baptist Church. I have some records for others to look over in Loudoun County where my family was associated with the George family. The associations in Loudoun going back to Philadelphia fascinate me plus I am trying to figure those associations out. I have the following on the GEORGE family I am seeking knowledge on with my other family lines: William George married to Eleanor unknown. They died Great Valley Baptist Church, Devon, Chester Co., PA. Their son: Thomas George born ca 1713 Upper Merion, Philadelphia Co., PA Died 1790 Loudoun Co., VA married Margaret Bye born 19 Sep 1715 Bucks Co., PA daughter of John Bye and Sarah Pearson. Their son: Wiilliam George born Upper Merion, Philadelphia Co., PA died in Lee County, VA. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some records: I received William Jones will in Loudoun in 1771 from the Loudoun courthouse.

Wit: Thomas WARMAN, John HOUGH Jr. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jane GRIFFITH, dau of John and --, born 18 9thmo 1710 - Lower Merion Friends at Lower Merion Township. .... I think this is Montgomery Co., PA formed from Philadelphia Co., Pa. Thomas GEORGE born 1740, parent George GEORGE and Elizabeth (LEWIS) GEORGE, same church. George and Elizabeth also had these other children in records at Friends Lower Merion: Enoch b 7 7mo 1731 Ann b 1734 Isaac b 241mo 1736 David b 1738 Edward b 1745 Amos b 1747 At Gwynedd Friends Monthly Meeting, this is the earliest Elizabeth LEWIS in the area: Elizabeth LEWIS, born 7 1mo 1711, parents George and Jane. They seem to be Quaker, and the Swarthmore College has big collection of Quaker records. I don't have a link to their site, but google may show it. If anyone on these PA lists have anything to add to these associations I would love to hear from you as I have proven some other if my family lines by taking the association approach to it.
