Currently the database contains mainly the family of John Lewis b. 1678 in Donegal, Ireland and who died Feb. 1, 1762. He married Margaret Lynn. They settled in Augusta Co., Virginia.  However, I have added another tree for the descendants of Col. Samuel S. Lewis.  Both are still in the process of being updated and other trees will be added at later dates.

Please understand that the information on this website is a work in progress and may contain errors.

It has come to my attention that there may be an error in one of the lines that was published in what I consider one of the best sources for the John Lewis and Margaret Lynn line, "The Family of John Lewis, Pioneer".  It looks as if ACABB Col. Samuel S. Lewis, may not be the son of ACAB Col. Samuel Lewis & Esther (Catherine) Whitley.  It is thought by many that Col. Samuel S. Lewis was actually the son of a different John Lewis & his wife Sarah.

My father participated at my request in the Lewis DNA project (which I highly recommend).  It was a surprise to find out that his DNA (descended from John & Margaret's sons Thomas & Charles due to cousins marrying down the line) did not match with another person on the Lewis DNA website that descended from ACABB Col. Samuel S. Lewis.  At this time, I have taken Col. Samuel S. Lewis and his descendants out of the John Lewis & Margaret Lynn tree, and added a new tree for this line. 

I am hoping that other male Lewis descendants will participate in the Lewis DNA project to help confirm the lines.  The website for the Lewis DNA project is:  http://lewissurnamednaproject.com/
