In a message dated 00-08-11 09:55:27 EDT, you write: << patrickkenney@uswest.net >> The part of Allegheny County in which my Lewis family lived had been in Monroe County. The marriage record that she send in the other e-mail is the record of this John and wife Elizabeth. I have a copy of the note that Elizabeth's father wrote asking the clerk to grant a marriage license for her to John. Her parents were Peter Harman and Betsy Mann. I have found links for the Harman line, but have not established who Betsy Mann's parents were yet, although I have my suspicions. Here is what I have on John W. Lewis and his family. I believe he is definitely not an immediate member of the John, Charles, and William Lewis family. it was William Lewis who owned Sweet Springs resort. (I descend from Dewey Johnston.)
