Hundreds of Eastern Shore Families from Charlemagne to the Present
Abt 1860 - Yes, date unknown| Earliest Ancestor(s) | John Lewis, (I) & Lucretia Pott |
| Origins | About 1619, Greater London, England |
| Descendants | 7276 Descendants / 14 Generations. |
| Notes | According to Whitelaw, John Lewis' wife was named Lucretia, but it has seemed impossible to identify her correctly; Mark C. Lewis, a descendant and the present authority on the Lewis clan, thinks by inference she may have been a Lucretia Pott, who was on the Shore at about the right time to fit that theory. In his will, he mentioned no daughters, but it is almost certain that he had at least one, who at the time may have been dead; she was Mary, first the wife of Isaac Dix (A103) and then the wife of William Groten. There were Dix children, but as they had been well provided for, Lewis may not have thought it necessary to leave them anything. |
