I have a Joseph C. Lewis b. May 8, 1802 in Livingston County, Kentucky to a John Lewis (son of John or Hugh Lewis) according to his son's biography from Goodspeed's Arkansas History.Joseph had a younger brother Hugh Lewis who was born in Missouri about 1804.I wonder if they are related to any of the Lewis family you have listed?
From the biography:
"Augustus Buckner Lewis. Closely connected with the mercantile interests of Washington County, Ark., is the name of Augustus B. Lewis, who was born in Hempstead County, Ark., April 28, 1835, the son of Joseph and Mary Bartlett (Brown) Lewis, grandson of John Lewis, and great-grandson of John or Hugh Lewis, who came over from Ireland at an early date, and settled in North Carolina, but afterward moved to Kentucky, where he remained until 1804. when he moved to Washington County, Mo. Joseph Lewis was born in Livingston County, Ky., in 1802, and in 1822 he went on horseback and alone to Lawrence County, Ark., thence to Independence County, thence to Pulaski, and later to Hempstead County, but finally, in 1831, he and a younger brother, Hugh, made a settlement in Washington County, Ark., where he settled with his [p.974] wife and two sons, Rowland and A. B., in 1836."
Joseph and Hugh Lewis are both listed in the Washington County, Arkansas 1840 and 1850 censuses.I believe I found them in Hempstead County, Arkansas in 1830.This is conjecture on my part and not proved but the ages fit what is known about Hugh and his family and Joseph Lewis who didn't marry until 1832 in Hempstead County, Arkansas.
