    3. OOPS!! Sorry for sending this to the list! Not too wide awake this evening! Jay David Lewis and Ann Terrell. My line is their son, William Terrell Lewis and >Sarah Martin. Thanks, Gale > Hi Gale, > Haven't been on this group long but have been lurkin' around in Rowan and >adj. counties. Saw you were related to W.T. Lewis and thought I should >drop a line. You don't have an extra Joseph Lewis hangin' around do you? > I have an old traditional story that my ancestor Joel Lewis born in Rowan >in 1776 was the son of Joseph Lewis who was killed about 1779 in a fall >from a "fractous" horse. From another Tradition, he was supposed to be a >grandson of Robert Lewis of Belvoir OR someway closely connected to the >Warner Hall bunch. I guess you know that your line is connected closely to >the Warner Hall Lewises. Anyway, being close to the library in Salt Lake, >you can imagine the collection of Lewis data that I have EXCEPT no Joseph!! > We are carrying this line with one missing generation. > Here's the twist--My Joel named his children, Joel, Martin Richmond and >Green. Just real good Terrill names! > > I'm thinking that perhaps this Joseph, whomever he was, slipped into >Rowan, made a baby with Sarah Lewis (no relation) and left! Perhaps the >"Fractious Horse" was a family cover-up?? > > Well, thanks for reading this, hope you might have a bit of input for me. > Jay > > > >==== VAALBEMA Mailing List ==== >______ Support RootsWeb _______ >Support the people who support you.
