Edward Lewes, son of George, resided at Rowley's pond,
(6.)
now known as Hathaway's pond. His house stood in the field near
the northeast corner of the pond. Jan. 12, 1662-3, George Lewes,
Sen., and Geo. Lewes, Jr., had the great lot of the father, by a
joint deed to Edmund Lewes and his brother John Lewes. Edmund
had the northerly part, containing 27 1-2 acres. No house is named
in the deed, and the presumption is that it was built by Edward.
In 1697 Edward Lewes and his sons Ebenezer, John and Thomas,
are called South Sea men, and their proportions of the common
meadows in the first and second divisions thereof were set off to them
in the easterly part of the Wequaquet meadows. The families of
Edward Lewes, Dolar Davis, (son of John) and John Linnel, were
connected by intermarriages, and their lands and meadows at the
South Sea adjoined. In consequence of the destruction of the records
of deeds it is difficult to trace the ownership of real estate. I
find by the tax lists* of 1737 and 8, that although these families were
called South Sea residents, they were assessed as belonging to the
district on the north side of the town, not with Hyannis or Wequa-
quet. I am inclined to the opinion that some of these families resided
at the farm owned by John Dunn in 1720, and now known as
Dunn's field, or on the other clearings in that vicinity, subsequently
Twenty of tlie name of Lewes are found on the Barnstable tax list for 1737, namely
Seth, son of Benjamin, who resided at Israel's Pond, on Dimmock's lane ; Ebenezer, 3d,
son of Samuel, in a house that stood where Joseph Cobb's now does, his brother schoolmas.
ter Joseph Lewes was exempt that year ; Mr. George Lewes, Senior, lived near Taylor's
lane; EbenezferLewes, Esq., son of Lieut. James, and his sons James, Jr., Ebenezer, Jr.,
Nathaniel and George, Jr., and Capt. James Lewes, son of Lieut. James, in the vicinity of
the Meeting House; Dea. John Lewes, son of Edward, and his sons John, Jr., Shubael and
James 3d, at Cooper's pond ; Jonathan, son of the second George, and his sons George 3d,
and .Jonathan, Jr., at Hyannis; Isaac and Thomas, sons of Edward, and Thomas, Jr., arid
Jesse, sons of Thomas, at Wequaquett. Seth's descendants removed to Cooper's frf>nd
with this exception. The Leweses of the present day reside where their father's resided in
1737, and most of them where their ancestors did two centuries ago. The Lewes are fond
of home.
