The printed pedigrees of the family are many, and varied in their conclusions as to the first of the Lewis name in Virginia. It is extremely probable that he was the "Mr. John Lewis" who patented 22 April, IGGS, land in Gloucester and New Kent counties. According to the tombstone cf his son. Col. John Lewis, he married Isabella , and had issue, John Lewis of Warner Kail, and probably other children.
