Moses Allen Lewis left a will, abstracted by Mrs. Ray Dix of the DAR in 1958. The will is in Volume 1 of the Stanislaus County Will Book. It is dated 26 May 1883, probated 28 July 1883. It mentions [adult] children Isabella Mary Lewis, Arthur Alexander Lewis, Annie Louise Lewis, Francis Pierce Lewis, Moses Alfred Lewis, William Liniless Lewis.
Executors and guardian of his two youngest children, Arthur and Frank Lewis: Isabelle M. Lewis and Annie Louisa Lewis. {I don't know if the Louise/Louisa spelling mistake is in the original or the abstract; all I saw was the abstract.]
Witnesses: James Stenson, E. S. Waterhouse, A. Campbell, A. Beith, Caleb Dorsey.
This doesn't find you any cousins, but if you want to write for the will, you know it is there.
