LEWIS......... I had a couple LEWISs in my line that came from NY to Luzerne County, PA. Here is what little I have from another researcher. I can put you in touch with her and see if she has any other info on LEWIS. STEPHEN CASE, son of Absalom Case, was born ca. 1763 in "01d Paltz" according to his application for a pension for service in the Revolutionary War made in the court in Calhoun Co., Michigan in 1838. He claimed that in 1777, at age 14, he accompanied his uncle Captain Stephen Case,into service. He married Esther Lewis, daughter of James and Sarah (North) Lewis ca. 1804, said to be at Newburg, NY. They apparently resided for some time in Luzerne Co., as their son, Stephen, was born in Kingston, Penn. in 1805. As noted above, Stephen Case was in Plymouth, Luzerne Co. Penn. In 1810 census, where he counted 4 males under 10; 1 male 16-26 and 1 female 26-45. By 1814, son, William Mead, was born in Lansing (then Cayuga Co.), NY, which became Tompkins Co., NY. (Esther's parents were in Lansing, NY in 1814). Stephen Case is listed in Reading, Steuben Co., NY in 1820, (which is apparently he, as Stephen and (H)Esther Case sold property in Campbell, Steuben Co., NY in 1838 as residents of Calhoun Co., Mich. In the 1830 census, they were in Erie Co., NY near Esther's brothers. By 1836, Stephen moved his family to Calhoun Co., Mich., as daughter, Julia, married there in 1837. Stephen Case sold property in Calhoun Co., Mich. to Joel Clemons, husband of his daughter, Julia, in 1837 at Fredonia; and in 1838 applied for his Revolutionary Pension at the Court there (it was denied). Stephen apparently died soon after, as he does not appear in 1840 in that Michigan census. (One record says that he died 1843, if so, he may have been living in the household of one of his children so was not listed. A man of his age is not counted in the households of James C. or Bartemas Case or Joel Clemons in that 1840 census year.) Esther died 15 Feb. 1862, age 82, and is buried in Oakridge Cemetery at Marshall, Mich. Children: 1. Stephen b. 1805 Penn. 2. James Cornelius b. 2 Dec. 1806 Penn.; m. Jane Hasty; d.Newton, MI 1889. 3. Thomas b. 12 Jan. 1810 Penn.; m. Laura 4. Bartemas b. 4 June 1805 (lived Newton, Calhoun Co., Mich. in 1840 census); apparently deceased before 1850. 5. William Mead b. 30 Oct. 1814 Lansing, NY (then Cayuga Co., now Tompkins Co.); m. Sarah Matilda Sparling 1839. Buffalo, NY; d. 16 Aug 1884 Ravenswood, Ill. 6. Julia b. 9 Feb. 1822, m. Joel Clemons; d. 21 Feb. 1888 Marshall, MI. 7. David 8. Walter?(no further record, and no proof) THOMAS CASE, son of Absalom and Sarah Elizabeth (Dunn), was born 16 Aug. 1771 Orange Co., NY. He married 9 Jan. 1793 to Catherine Skadden(Caskadden). In 1810, he is listed in Plymouth, Luzerne Co., Penn. with 4 males under 10; 2 ages 10-16; 2 ages 16-26; 1 female under 10; 1 female 10-16; and 1 ages 16-26. He died 11 June 1844, Jackson Twp., Luzerne Co., Penn., Case Cemetery. Children: 1. Absalom b. ca. 1798; m. Jane Lamoreaux 2. Wesley b. 1803; m. Susan L. Hazelhurst 16 Apr. 1848 3. Fletcher m.

(LEWIS rersearchers) Greetings :-) With a name like LEWIS, there must be....oh....I'd say ......ten thousand researchers from the Susquehanna County area ALONE!!!!...but I can't seem to find even a nibble on my Julianna Maria Lewis b. 1828 from Springville. She married Pardon WELCH of Springville on 31 Mar 1848 in Lemon Township, Wyoming County. She supposedly died in Pike township, Bradford County in 1902 while living with her daughter Emily Bradshaw, (wife of Elmore)....Julianna's name at death was Julianna (Julia) SHOOK, as she remarried after Pardon died. After years trying to prove relationship to the Bradford County LEWIS's with no success, and attempting to link her to the Nathaniel/Thurston LEWIS family of Susquehanna, also with no success......I am trying to find someone that recognizes the William LEWIS, buried in the Lynn Cemetery, b. 1797 d. 1850. Could William be associated with the Lemon twp/Wyoming names of Abner, Andrew Jackson, Rebecca, George W., Horatio, Charles M. and Phebe. Could he be the husband of Sarah A. b. 1803 listed in the 1860 Lemon Twp census? (....they hung around the Fish families....) I need to crack open this LEWIS thing.....so I can get started with my wife's SMITHS!!!
