The Last Will and Testament attached makes it seem likely that the Massachusetts James Lewis who passed away in 1800 and the Westchester NY James Lewis are the same person. The only places mentioned in the Will are in Massachusetts, and the only family members mentioned do not at all match the Westchester family.
It is still possible that James Lewis the father of Alanson was from Massachusetts, but not the James Lewis whose Will this is.
