The History of Marlborough has the following information:

James Lewis was born in Oxfordshire, England. He was a sea-captain for several years, after which he settled in Southboro, Massachusetts where he married Sept 5, 1753, Martha Collins. He came to Marlborough, New Hampshire in 1771 and purchased of his brother-in-law, Joseph Collins, the farm known as the Hunting farm, now owned by Stillman Richardson. He served as captain in the Revolutionary War. His townsmen gave ample proof of their respect for hi by electing him to offices of trust and responsibility. He was one of the eight who formed the church in 1778, and one of its most active members. Some time about 1790, he removed to Greenbush, New York. His wife died in 1809. There are twelve children listed. ^[1]
