Thanks Jim for trying to let me know about the Lewis families. I know mine were there in 1900, my grandmother got married. They were in Lamar county too. But if there is one thing I have learned trying to sort them out, there is a bunch of different families, that I know nothing about! I am beginning to think I will never find out about them. Guess I better get back to my quilt. Again, thank you to all of you. You all are the BEST.
