Research Notes

Lewis' gravestone has his birth date as 11 Aug 1826 and his death date as 18 Feb 1900. ^[1] There is a death record for a Lewis Utterback that lists his death date as 24 Feb 1900 (in Carr Township, Indiana) and an age of 74 yrs, 7 mos. and 15 days, which puts his birth date as 9 Jul 1825. ^[5] Therefore, it is assumed that this is a different Lewis Utterback, whose parents are listed as Elijah and Mary Utterback. The Lewis Utterback of this profile has the birth and death dates of his gravestone, with unknown parents.
