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 Sandy,
Sorry not to be able to help you on this.
Do you have the 12 gens of Lewis' in America by Delbert F. Lewis?
Once I joined Daughters of the American Revolution (on the Lewis line), I really stopped searching.
My cuz digitized same book, and I think he sent it to Joy...
Happy hunting.

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.
