The
Lewis Family |
|
|
|
Name Origin: WALES, IRELAND |
The roots of the Celtic name of Lewis originates in Wales - from
the Welsh name "Llewellyn" meaning "lion-like" or "leader". |
Lewis is also the Americanized form of any
of various like-sounding Jewish surnames. |
Our most recent Lewis ancestors were from IRELAND.
Judith Lewis married Uriah Sherrill on 25 Dec 1753. The
Lewis & Sherrill line connects to the Johnson and then the Goble
lines. |
|
The largest number of Lewis families in the US reside in
Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Texas
and California. North Carolina also has a sizeable group of
Lewis families. |
