According to James Arnold's records of the children of John Lewis son of James, said John was the testator who made his will in 1769 and died ca. 1774, not the profiled John Lewis son of John.

Hi Charles, sorry I don’t follow you, can you tell me the who you are referring to as there are so many John Lewis’?
posted by Lesley Leamon
The John Lewis who made his will in 1769, with probate in 1774, was the son of James Lewis, according to James Arnolds' Vital Records identifying the children of the aforesaid John Lewis who also were named in the aforesaid will. Since the profiled John Lewis, Lewis-9505, had only 4 children, many of the children attached to Lewis-9505 are attached to the wrong parents.

Lewis-9505 and Lewis-28108 appear to represent the same person because: Hi, I believe my ancestor John Lewis is the same one married to Mary Burdick.
