Biography

Thad was born in Kentucky about 1826/1827 (44 in 1870, 53 in 1880).[1][2]

It was said that Thad fished so much that a rock was named for him. The rock is located at Wendover, Kentucky, and is called " Old Thad Rock". It was said that he was there so much, a groove was worn in the rock where he sat.[3]

Research Notes

Thad & Anna: Previous note included "Are the children correct...?" The following records for children of Thad and Anna name them as their parents. The children are also listed in the Census Records (above)

Children of Thad & Anna (records name the parents):
  • Isaiah Lewis - born 1858[7] - Isaac (b c1857/c1859) in census records[4][1]
  • Abijah Lewis - Abijah Lewis (abt.1867-) see his profile
  • Will Lewis - died 1944[8]
  • Sarah Jane (Lewis) Coots - born c1876, died 27 April 1959[9]
  • Levi Lewis - born c1879, married Martha Stidbaum in 1910[10]

Parents: He was the son of Isaac Lewis and Rebecca Couch.[11] A previous comment noted that FamilySearch has Anna Pennington married to two Thad Lewises, who have [had] different parents and the children don't match the marriage dates for Anna and Thad. Additional research is needed to determine which Thad is correct. As of 1 October 2023, she is only attached as wife of Thadeus born April 1827,[12] but he has two Pennington wives in FamilySearch - Anna (b 1833) and Eliza Jane Anna (b 1850) - and they have different parents. Marriage for Anna (b 1833) and Thad: 27 October 1852 in Perry County, Kentucky. Thadius Lewis and Eliza Pennington married 11 December 1871 in Fulton County, Kentucky.[13][14]

Note: FamilySearch does apparently include records for more than Thad Lewis in the FamilySearch PID for him.[12] FS also mistranscribes his name as "Thomas" in the 1870 and 1880 census records.[1][2]

Lewis-13519 and Lewis-11422 appear to represent the same person because: same dates and spouse - father to be merged as well
Lewis-17975 and Lewis-11422 appear to represent the same person because: Same name (within spelling variation), born same year in same location. Married same person Anna Pennington on exact same day/month/year and place. Both had a child William. Other data is complementary. Profile-11422 identifies parents and siblings, second marriage, and other children. Neither profile is sourced.
