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
