DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Lewis-2520 and Lewis-1768 appear to represent the same person because: Birth dates are not sourced, just a guess.

Agree. Both profiles are basically unsourced. I added the information from Find a Grave. It’s not always reliable but it proves they are the same man.

Please see comments on the profile for Elizabeth (Warner) Lewis, whom this John is apparently not related to. He has been detached as son of Elizabeth & her husband John Lewis.

The discussion on his mother's profile, which I misunderstood. I have reattached this profile as a son of John Lewis and his wife Elizabeth Warner.

Lewis-2520 and Lewis-1768 are not ready to be merged because: Dates are different enough to be questionable. Are the wives - mothers correct? Sources need further investigation.
Lewis-30648 and Lewis-2520 appear to represent the same person because: birth is an estimate on both profiles, parents are the same, they need merging
posted on Lewis-2520 (merged) by Robin Lee
Lewis-1768 and Lewis-2520 appear to represent the same person because: Both John Lewis' are shown to be born in St Peter's Parish in New Kent, VA and are married to a Priscilla Churchill in about 1732 (Lewis-2520's biography says that his second marriage was to a widow of Robert Carter on Nomini). Both have a son called Charles that was born on 25 Feb (although different years) in Warner Hall, but is most likely a child of Frances Fielding.

Lewis-2520 and Lewis-25793 appear to represent the same person because: They appear to be the same person verification on birthdate is needed.
