Roger Lewis, age 19 years (1624), came to Va. from London in May, 1617. On the list of
1624 he was on the plant of Mrs. Mary Madison, widow, of West and Sherlow hundred
(island), Charles City. The following arrivals are noted from the port of London: -John
Lewis, age 23, in the " Bonaventure," Jan. 2, 1634; Robert Lewis, age 23, in the " Plaine
Joan," May 15, 1635 ; Robert Lewis, age 38, in the " Transport," July 4, 1635 ; William Lewis
age 25, and Edward Lewis, in the "Globe," Aug. 16, 1635; Joseph Lewis, age 16, in the
" Thomas," Aug. 21, 1635. The Lewis family of eastern Va. is of Welsh origin. Their
ancestor Gen. Robert Lewis came from Wales to Gloucester Co. in the latter part of the 17th
century, and there lived and died. His son John, also of Gloucester, had three sons, Fielding,
John and Charles. Of the last two no mention is made. Mr. Fielding Lewis of Wyanoke,
Charles City Co., is thought to be a descendant of one of them. Col. Fielding Lewis, son of
John, moved to Fredericksburgh early in life. He was twice married. His first wife was a
cousin, and his second a sister of Gen. Washington. One child only, out of three by his first
wife, lived to any considerable age. His name was John Lewis, he moved to Kentucky, and
left posterity there.— [Bishop Meade, Vol. 2, p. 232.]
