Lewis Henry Sanders was a school teacher. He married Eleanor Daniel in 1712.

In my tree his mother is listed as Mary Elizabeth Teale.

I am active with the Sanders/Saunders Y-DNA project at Family Tree DNA. I am a descendant of Lewis Sanders through his son, Francis, and his son, Isaac. The theory that Lewis was the son of Edward Saunders III excited me so I tracked down a documented descendant of Edward Saunders, b. 1595 and d. 1639, so that we could test the theory. I found a gentleman named Edward Saunders who has an iron clad paper trail through Dr. Edward Saunders II (1625-1672) and his son, Ebeneezer (1661-1693). He was happy to take the test.

Unfortunately, it turns out that Lewis is not related to the Edward Saunders line. Lewis is related to the Sanders in group 17 of our surname project while Edward is related to group 39. In fact, it turns out that we also have a descendant of Jesse Saunders (1743-1809) and Ann Yancy. Jesse's father was William (1718-1789), son of Edward (1686-1744), son of Ebeneezer (1661-1693). https://www.familytreedna.com/public/SandersDNA?iframe=yresults

What is the proof that Lewis Sanders was the son of Edward William Sanders?

How does the above Y-DNA connect to this Sanders? Just trying to understand as my mom and uncle connect via DNA with this Sanders?

There is no proof. Please see my other comment. We have proven genetically that Edward and Lewis are not related.
