On 8 Nov 1837 in Henry Co, John Webb was
appointed as guardian of the "orphans of Asa Lewis" and seven children
were listed, including "Edwin S. Lewis". This obviously should be
"Eldred S. Lewis", though the clerk appears to write "Edwin". As each
of the children of Asa turned age 21, John Webb paid their share of the
estate in full. In Feb 1848, John Webb was recorded as paying Eldred
Lewis his share of $234. This time the record does show "Eldred". I
can supply copies of all the estate records.

This would have been a lot easier if people
weren’t following John Lewis from Westerly Rhode Island.
Edmund Lewis’s book really helped. Ron matches Sally Lewis m. Joshua Ellis father Amos Lewis. He matches all the other surnames back to Edmund Lewis. So for now this is how I believe it goes.
Amos Lewis’s will only gives the names of his children. No dates of birth. So for now I am following the DNA. I will now be looking for documents to support this.
Ron’s (Autosomal DNA) matches every surname here.
Edmund
John m Hanna Marshall
John m. Elizabeth Brewer
Thomas m. Elizabeth Carder
Amos m. Lydia Newhall (variant Newell)
Asa Lewis m. Susan Standish
Charles King Lewis m. Emily White
Charles Victor Lewis m. Emma Ada Weatherman
Ron’s birth father Charles Allen Lewis
Diane’s comes off of one of Thomas’s sons still working on it. When I figure it out I will let you all know.

Hi all,
A few months ago with some sleight-of-hand maneuver on my mobile phone I inadvertently unsubscribed myself from the Edmonds Google Groups. As a result I missed the latest thread that was posted earlier this month. I found it yesterday when I actually opened our Google Groups board. Michael just hooked me back up, so I'm back on board.
It looks like there has been some good discoveries and some good information posted.
Sandy, the documents regarding the orphans of Asa Lewis were filed in Newton County GA, rather than Henry County. Records say Asa died in Henry County, but John Webb lived in Newton County, and I think Whit said Asa's widow Nancy had moved there with the minor children. There seems to have been a relocation of at least part of the Lewis family to Newton County just prior to their dispersal to western GA and/or Alabama. As Whit mentioned, the string of documents include Eldred Lewis as one of Asa's orphans, so you have a definite paper trail back to Asa. The Orphans of Asa Lewis are first mentioned as winners in the 1832 Georgia Land Lottery, known as the Cherokee lottery. When I visited the Georgia Archives a few years ago I came across a newspaper legal notice citing the action of the state legislature allowing the orphans (or children) of Asa Lewis to participate in the 1832 lottery. Why it took an act of the legislature, I don't know. If it pertained to our Asa Lewis or another of the same name, I don't know. I don't remember the date of the notice, but it obviously came before the lottery drawings. I can look it up and possibly provide a PDF of the newspaper citation, if you want it.
When my wife and I moved back to Oregon almost two years ago now, I ended up living within 10 miles of Ron and Joy Durrett. We've gotten together a couple of times now, with the latest being a little over a month ago at my nephew's house for my sister's birthday. Ron and Joy got a small dose of their Lewis relatives, though my daughter and I are the only two still using that surname below my late grandfather, Marvin Trebor Lewis (1892-1968, approximately). We did learn that Ron might be more closely related to my nephew's wife than to me. That kinship, however, would be without our famous Y-chromosome profile, which trumps all other claims to kinship.
Joy, tell Ron my great nephew's old pick-up project is running a little better following Ron's advice, but is still having major issues. It makes a lot of loud noises and is quite unmistakable as it gets near. Fortunately he lives about a half mile away, so we don't get the brunt of it when he's working on it. He typically stays within a block of his house on his test drives, but he did drive it down to our house a couple weeks ago. No neighbors complained.
Hope everybody is doing well.
Dave

I read Ron what you wrote about your great nephews truck. He said when was younger he did the same thing (loud pipes) I do remember it well.
We really enjoyed meeting Lewis cousins at your nephews house. You have a wonderful family that graciously accepted us in as part of the family.
Ron & Joy
