WALTER LEWIS born abt 1770 Marshall County, Virginia then lived in Green County, Pennsylvania before moving to Gallia County, Ohio.Had one child that we know of James A. Lewis who married a Rebecca McNerlin Daughter of William Mcnerlin Land records in Marshall Co., WV show that Walter Lewis & his wife Rhoda sold their land (100 acres) in Marshall Co. on 11 Apr 1848. In the deed they are described as being "of Gallia Co. Ohio." Since Rhoda is a widow living with James and Rebecca Lewis on the 1850 census, Walter must have died between the date of the deed and the date the census was taken. It is unfortunate that there is no mortality census for Gallia Co. in 1850, but I hope to find some probate records.

I am a descendant of WILLIAM ALEXANDER LEWIS born about 1851 in Pennsylvania and died July 30, 1917 in Indiana, Pennsylvania. His spouse was Nancy Malissa (Nannie) Shields. She was born March 16, 1857 in Covode, Pennsylvania, died February 24, 1943 in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. Their children are George S Lewis, Thomas Edward Lewis , Laura J Lewis, Stephen P Lewis, Don Walter Lewis, and William Alexander Lewis, Jr. Don Walter is my maternal grandfather.

I do believe that William Alexander Lewis was either a space alien or a great magician, as he magically seems to appear in Indiana County. And after more than a few years of beating myself up on this .... I am willing to try anything to find his ancestors. (I've even considered writing NASA ). As such, I feel he is over-qualified for inclusion on the LEWIS most wanted page.
