Oscar was reported int eh 1865 New Yourstate census. His age was reported as 7 months. This would make his biorth about October 1864. The 1900 census reported his birth date as September 1867, which is obviously wrong. The 1900 census is often wrong for some reason. Perhaps that month of Septemebr is correct for some reason. It is unclear what the actual official census date was.

In 1870, Frank's mother is not in the household.

The record of Rachel Lewis' marriage to Henry Gregory and was originally reported as Tennessee based on circumstantial information. Her maiden name was unknown until May 2013, when the marriage record was found in Tennessee records made available by Ancestry.com. Her family was unknown, despite extensive periodic searches. Suddenly in September 2016, several census records from 1850 to 1880 and some marriage records in Jefferson County became visible on research indexes and revealed they were living very close to Rachel and her husband James Henry Gregory in Jefferson County, Tennessee. Rachel's father was Henry Lewis, born also in Tennessee, and by some indications, born in Jefferson County. Her mother was Mary Mills, born in Virginia. Other Mills households are next door or nearby in the censuses. In her marriage record, her name is spelled Rachel. In some records and family genealogies it is spelled Rachael. This record gave me Henry's full name, recording him as James H. Tennessee State Marriages, 1780-2002 Rachel Lewis Spouse James H Gregory Marriage 20 Nov 1847 Jefferson County 1850 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 7 February 1851 [sic], District 26, page 118, Hse/Fam 821 Henry Gregory 25 M Farmer born Tenn Cannot read and write Rachel Gregory 21 F born Tenn Cannot read and write Julia Gregory 1 F born Ala The 1860 Cherokee, Alabama, Federal Census spells her name Rachael. 1860 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 11 June, District 3, PO Ringgold, page 7, Hse/Fam #37 Henry Gregory 35 M Farmer born Tenn Rachael Gregory 30 F Domestic born Tenn Julia Gregory 11 F born Tenn Andrew G Gregory 10 M born Tenn Henrietta Gregory 7 F born Ala Patrick Gregory 4 M born Ala Sarah Gregory A 1 F born Ala Census reports are inconsistent in reporting the age of Rachel. 1850 Cherokee County, Alabama, Federal Census indicates 21 years old (thus born in 1829-30). 1860 Cherokee County, Alabama, Federal Census indicates 30 years old (thus born in 1830). 1870 Jefferson County, Tennessee, Federal Census indicates 43 years old (thus born in 1827). 1880 Jefferson County, Tennessee, Federal Census indicates 58 years old (thus born in 1822). 1900 Jefferson County, Tennessee, Federal Census indicates 69 years old. Actual birth month and year are reported in 1900 as June 1830. The censuses indicate that Henry and Rachel moved to Alabama soon after they married and their first daughter was born there in about 1848. Henry was born in Tennessee and the Gregory family later moved back there, between 1860 and 1870. It would seem most likely that Henry and Rachel met when Henry was still living in Tennessee, or when he had made a trip back from Tennessee for some reason, and they married there, then moved to Cherokee County, Alabama. Gregory family tradition also records a memory of another sibling of Dock Gregory named Lynn. Censuses indicate no child by this name. Other names in family tradition match with names found in censuses that seem to correlate with the family of Dock Patrick Gregory's parents: Bill = William Jack = Andrew Jackson Retta = Henrietta I estimated the marriage in 1848, as an estimate based on the birth of their first child. In the 1850 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, Julia A is reported as 1 year old. The marriage record, found only in 2013, reported the date as 20 November 1847. It was only after years of searching without success that I finally in May 2013 I found a record reporting Rachel's maiden name. I found for the first a death certificate for her son Andrew Jackson Gregory, reporting his mother as Rachel Lewis, born in Tennessee. The death certificate reports that Andrew (A J) died in Dandridge, but was buried in Taft. Taft is an unincorporated community in Lincoln County, Tennessee. Lincoln is in South Central Tennessee. Here her name is spelled Rachael.

This revealed that Henry's full name was James Henry. Tennessee State Marriages, 1780-2002 Rachel Lewis Spouse James H Gregory Marriage 20 Nov 1847 Jefferson County After learning Rachel's (Rachael's) maiden name, I reviewed source information, and found that in the 1960 census, the family enumerated next door to Henry and Rachael Gregory was named Lewis. Examination of the family configuration and ages suggested that Chrisman and Anna were the parents and siblings of Rachael Lewis Gregory. Or perhaps Chrisman, at age 48, was an older brother of Rachael, age 30 in 1860. A quick check on genealogies found no child or sibling of Chrisman Lewis named Rachael/Rachel. Perhaps they were cousins. Chrisman and Rachael were both born in Tennessee. 1860 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 11 June, District 3, PO Ringgold, page 7, Hse/Fam #36 Chrisman Lewis 48 M Farmer born Tenn Anna (Webb) Lewis 46 Domestic born Tenn Abigil [sic] Lewis 19 F Domestic born Tenn Anderson Lewis 18 M Farming born Tenn Sarah Lewis 16 F Domestic born Tenn Margaret Lewis 14 F Domestic born Ala Lorenzo D Lewis 4 M born Ala Lewis, George C 10 M born Ala Lewis, James W 8 M born Ala Lewis, Joseph W 8 M born Ala Henry and Rachel moved from Cherokee County, Alabama, back to Jefferson County, Tennessee some time between 1860 and 1870. 1870 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 16 August, District 5, PO Trion, page 10, Hse/Fam #71 Henry Gregory M 50 M W Wagon Maker $767 Personal Estate b Tennessee Cannot read or write Rachel Gregory 43 F W Keeps House b Tennessee [b abt 1827] Julia A Gregory 21 F W b Alabama [b abt 1849] Cannot read or write Jackson Gregory 19 M W b Alabama [b abt 1851] Cannot read or write Henrietta Gregory 17 F W b Alabama [b abt 1853] Cannot read or write Patrick E Gregory 15 M W b Alabama [b abt 1853] Cannot read or write Sarah E Gregory 11 F W b Alabama [b abt 1859] Cannot read or write Mahala Gregory 9 F W b Alabama [b abt 1861] Cannot read or write George Gregory 4 M W b Alabama [b abt 1866] Cannot read or write Cora F Gregory 1 F W b Alabama [b abt 1869] Cannot read or write 1880 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 16 June, Civil District 5, Enumeration District 177, p 34B, Hse #280, Fam #284 Gregory, Henry W M 60 Farmer TN TN TN Gregory, Rachel W F 58 Wife Keep Hse TN TN TN Cannot read or write Gregory, Henrietter W F 24 Dau At Home TN TN TN Cannot read or write Gregory, Malinda W F 22 Dau At Home TN TN TN Cannot read or write Gregory, George W M 15 Son Farm Hand TN TN TN Cannot read or write Gregory, Cora W F 12 Dau TN TN TN Cannot read or write Gregory, William R W M 8 Son TN TN TN Cannot read or write 1900 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 20 June, Civil District 5, Enumeration District 45, page 10A, Hse #162, Fam #169 Gregory, Henry Head W M Apr 1826 74 Married 53 years TN TN TN Farmer Rents Gregory, Rachel Wife W F Jun 1830 69 Married 53 years 10 children/8 living TN TN TN - Hse #162, Fam #170 - Gregory, William Head W M Sept 1871 28 Married 2 years TN TN TN Farmer Gregory, Thula Wife W F Oct 1881 18 Married 2 years 1 child/1 living TN TN TN Gregory, George R Son W M Sept 1899 8mos TN TN TN The 1900 census is the last public record I have found for either Rachael (Rachel) or Henry.

But as far as we know otherwise, Henry and Rachel never moved away from Jefferson County, Tennessee.

In 1929, Reece married Florence Dumond in DeWitt, Arkansas. He was living at that time in Weona, in Poinsett County, near Jonesboro. No other records has been found for Reece. Debra Whiddon's genealogy and one or two others have his name as Reece Franklin Lewis. His name later spelled Louis in records for Florence. It makes us think Reece died soon after the marriage, but it could be he was working away and just happened to miss the census in 1930 and 1940. That does not seem likely. No death or burial record has been found for him. A death record for Florence is provided by Whiddon, form Ellis County, Texas. But no burial record for Florence has been found. In 1930, Florence is reported as single, but with the surname of Louis. In the 1940 census she is reported as married, but no word is there about her missing husband.

Could this have been a remarriage, as a renewal? Or after a divorce we have found no record of? There are indications of divorce in the 1930 and 1940 censuses where Florence is reported under the name Louis, and as married in 1940, but with no husband in the home. The Dallas residence correlates with Florence's later death record in nearby Ellis County. She links a burial record in Mississippi to Reece. The birth date for this Reeece fits Florence Dumond's husband. Reece is buried in the same cemetery with his parents and other Lewis family members, but Florence is not among them. She has not been found among her Dumond famly in Arkansas either, nor back in Ellis County, Texas, where a death record seems to be for her. Folloiwng Whiddon, we will assume this is the correct Reece Lewis.

There is conflicting information about the wife of William Butler, Some sources report her name as Mildred Lewis. There is little documentation in family genealogies. One source for a Mildred Lewis married to a William Butler reports them in the wrong counties. This name for Isaac's mother appears to be from the too-common simple association of first names without regard to any other details, or perhaps as well, lack of further details at the time. William Butler is too common a name.

Terry was born in Oklahoma. I do not know when he moved to New Mexico. He was issued his Social Security number in Oklahoma. So he was still in Oklahoma in the 1930s. 1937 is the first year of the Social Security Death Index. Terry and his wife Margarite lived in Albuquerque since I was a child. He was in the US Air Force then the Navy, working at bases in Albuquerque. I remember visiting them in Albuquerque at least once when I was a child. We were there in 1956, when our family took a vacation through the western states of the US. In adult life my wife and I visited them two or three times. Social Security Death Index Terry S.

I do note that Donegal Province of Ireland in the northermost part of Ireland, while Lewis, now under Scoottish sovereignty, is the farthest western island of the outer Hebrides, close to Ireland. It is plausible there is association, since the Scots people are Irish who migrated farther north and east across the islands and then on to Great Britain. By that era the surname Lewis was pretty widespread. It is not clear if the Irish name Lewis is associated with the Frankish name Louis coming to us through French. Wikipedia notes that the surname in English has several independent origins, noting also "Region of origin England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland." While this surname is the 4th common surname in Wales, it is only the 129th most common in Scotland but is the 24th most common in the United States. "Lewis is a surname in the English language. It has several independent origins. One of the origins of the surname, in England and Wales, is from the Norman personal name Lowis, Lodovicus. This name is from the post-Classical Latin name Ludovicus meaning victorious in athletic games (ludus, game; vicus, var. of victor, winner)." -- "Lewis (surname)," Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_(surname) Other sources report that the Isle of Lewis derives from the Gaelic name Lowis Wikipedia refers to above, which in turn came to us through the Norman French. This is the same name that appears in the German language form as Ludwig. The note that the Latin form is "post-classical" is somewhat vague, and could even then represent Germanic origins, since the German invasions began early, and rulers of parts of Italy and even Rome go back as early as 410 CE. Various Germanic names were introduced into the Hebrides and Ireland by the Norse Vikings, who left a strong cultural and genetic legacy, memorialized in clans or septs Like the McSwains and their variations of MacSweeney, Sweeney and McQueen. Another naming site confirms our own analysis of the name as of Germanic origin, tying the name to the Frankish name Clovis, one of the early kings and war chiefs of the Fanks. "Meaning of Lewis: Lewis is an English variant of the name Louis, which is a variant of the name Clovis, which is a French variant of the name Ludovicus, which is a Latinized variant of the Germanic name Hluodowig, which is comprised of the elements hluod "famous" and wig "war, strife" -- e Baby Names, https://www.ebabynames.com/#!meaning-of-Lewis Virginia, Compiled Census and Census Substitutes Index, 1607-1890 Thomas Lewis 1761 Rent Rolls, Loudoun County, Virginia Database VA Early Census Index Alabama, Surname Files Expanded, 1702-1981 Thomas Lewis Birth Date 27 Apr 1718 Marriage Date 27 Jan 1749 Marriage Age 30 Death Date 31 Jan 1790 Death Age 71 Spouse Jane Strother (It is not clear why this information is classified in the Alabam Records catalogue in the Ancestry library.) ------------------------- GILMER AND LEWIS FAMILY RECORDS.
