Sandra, Paula, The James Lewis administration record from 1758 is that of James Lewis who died in 1743/44. His estate was not settled until many years after his death. In fact, when he died, there was no Berks County. Cumru Township was then in Lancaster Co. The second one you list is his son, and the third is _his_ son.
