Cannot find information on Ann Lewis so looking for information on her brother Hugh as mentioned in her will. Hugh has been found in Livingston Co, KY. Ann married an Elliott, but don't know his name. They had 8 known children. Thomas is my ancestor and he married Mary Lakey. We believe that Thomas was pobably born in Rowan Co, NC.
Hugh Lewis served as witness

Is there any chance the Ann Lewis you are looking for was born in Chester County, London Grove Township, PA to James and Martha Lewis in about 1870? If so I may have information for you.
Barry, I know very little about Ann. We have found an abstract will from 1777 in Surry, NC. It was signed by her brother Hugh Lewis and her son Thomas Elliott. Would love to look over your info. If it doesn't fit now, maybe it will fit somewhere later. Thanks. Write me at [email protected]
