Biography

Son of John and Barbara Yetter.

He married (first) Elizabeth Bear (other spellings of her maiden name have been suggested by descendants); married (second) Sarah A. (Wright) Breed.

Some researchers have reported that Lewis' middle initial was R. There is one public document showing a middle initial: the 1870 Federal Census shows a C. But with only that one document for evidence, it should be viewed with some degree of skepticism.
