Hugh Lewis Jr and Sr, Livingston Co, KY> Jackson Co IL
Around 1800, there were 2 adult Hugh Lewis living in Livingston Co KY.The elder Hugh married my widowed ancestor, Elizabeth Ramage Ewing in 1802.Elizabeth came to KY from SC with her daughter's family, Nathan and Jane Ewing Davis. The Lewises left KY with the Davis family to settle in Jackson Co, IL for a few years ca 1810.Bef 1820, the Nathan Davis family was in east Texas. They probably stopped in Pulaski or Saline Co AR along the way. The elder Hugh Lewis apparently died between 1810 and 1818, because Elizabeth Lewis was widowed when she arrived in Texas.She qualified for a headright as a very early settler of Texas.
I don't know anything about Hugh Lewis before he was in Livingston Co KY, but he is thought to the brother of Ann Lewis Elliot who had a son named Thomas. There may be a connection to Rowan Co NC.
Any hints appreciated.
