Hello!(this post is by Jefferson on Wales Board)
Can anyone clear up for me the birth, emigration, and parentage of Seaborn LEWIS (d. 14 June 1707 at Chester Co., PA) and of her brother Evan LEWIS (b. 2 August 1677 at Glamorganshire, Wales; d. 11 February 1730/1, prob. at Newtown Twp., Chester Co., PA)? I have seen all sorts of conflicting information, on the LDS site and elsewhere. I am descended from Evan.
I am assuming that Seaborn was female, although I have seen both genders listed. I have seen that she was born at sea (hence the name) in 1686, but also that she (and her family) arrived on the ship "Morning Star" (Thomas HAYES, master) in November 1683 (three years earlier).
I have Evan’s and Seaborn’s other siblings listed as:
David LEWIS (b. ca. 1675 at Glamorganshire, Wales)
Lewis LEWIS (b. 2 November 1676 at Glamorganshire, Wales)
William LEWIS (b. February 1682/3 at Wales)
I have seen their parents listed as William LEWIS (b. 1636, Glamorganshire, Wales; d. 9 February 1707/8 at Newtown Twp., Chester Co., PA) and Ann EVAN (b. ca. 1640, Glamorganshire, Wales; d. 15 December 1708 at Newtown Twp., Chester Co., PA) (marr. when? ).
William’s parents were given as Ralph LEWIS and Ann PRICHARD (both b. 1610 Glamorganshire; both d. there -- he in 1684 and she 15 February 1707/08).
HOWEVER, I have also seen that this couple were the PARENTS (as opposed to grandparents) of Seaborn, Evan, etc. This does not seem likely, but it appeared in some sources I respect, so I want to be sure of the truth, if possible.
Also, I have seen Evan’s wife listed as both (1) Ann [DAVID], dau. of John, and (2) Ann HAYES (daughter of Jonathan and Ann [WILLIAMSON] HAYS, and sister of Mary who Evan married after Ann died). Plus, he had a daughter named Hannah LEWIS (m. Joshua PENNELL, 20 Feb. 1725/26) , whose mother is variously given as Ann or Mary HAYES. Any clarification available? (And is this HAYES family related to the ship captain listed above?)
I would greatly appreciate ANY information. You can post here, or e-mail me directly (just click on my name above where it says “Posted By,” and it will show you the e-mail address).
Thanks for reading!
