Edward C. Lewis 1824 - 1891 Edward Lewis is my 3rd great grandfather; he is the father of Florence M. Lewis Myers Hunter that I wrote about last week. When I was trying to figure out who I wanted to write about this week I was working on some research on ancestry and came across the above picture posted by a "cousin." I don't know anything about the picture..I wish I did! Edward was born 1 October 1824 in Sussex County, New Jersey to unknown parents, at least to me at this time. From census records I have been able to tell that he spent his married life in Union Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Some next steps in my research on Edward are: Who are Edward's parents? When did they move to Pennsylvania? Why did they move to Pennsylvania? Edward was a farmer and it looks like he owned land so I want to look for that as well. Edward married Ellen (aka Eleanor) Bonham on 27 March 1842, at least according a cousin....
