• F3. Morgan Lewis (October 16, 1754 - April 7, 1844) was an American lawyer, politician and military commander, of Welsh descent, he was the son of Francis Lewis [F4], a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He graduated from Princeton (then the College of New Jersey) in 1773 and began to study law on the advice of his father. His studies were interrupted by military service during the Revolutionary War, and ultimately he became Quartermaster General for New York. In 1779 he married Gertrude Livingston (1757 - 1833), the daughter of Robert R. Livingston.
  After the Revolution, Lewis completed his legal studies and was elected to the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate. He was New York State Attorney General and later Justice and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New York. He served as governor of New York from 1804-1807. On April 30, 1807, he was defeated in his run for re-election by Daniel D. Tompkins. Tompkins received 35,074 votes, Morgan Lewis 30,989.
  During the War of 1812 Lewis resumed his duties as Quartermaster General and served in western New York. He commanded the American forces at the Battle of Fort George. Although the British position was captured, Lewis ordered Colonel Winfield Scott to break off the pursuit of the defeated British troops. But for Lewis's over-caution, Scott might have been able to capture Major-General John Vincent's entire division and greatly weaken the British defence of the Niagara Peninsula. Later, Lewis was appointed as commander of upstate New York.
  From 1832 to 1835 he was the President of the Historical Society of New York.
  Lewis helped to found New York University in New York City, where he was born and where he died. {S2}.

• F12. Cornelius Lewis. Born about 1700. It is believed the family originated in France and were French Huguenots. Oral history of family origins: "There were three brothers by the name of William B Lewis. John I. Lewis. and George C. Lewis; all sailed in a ship of his own from Holland in 1787 and landed at Boston, Mass. And there was a storm on the ocean the night before they landed the next day. The brother by the name, George C. Lewis got lost from the other two and they never knew if he ever got to land or if his ship sank." - Mrs. Valentine Shearer. The dates are wrong, but perhaps the account has some truth, and that the ancestor Cornelius Lewis [F12] was a descendant of a William Lewis. "The story of the first William Lewis to arrive in America was (that he was) a very rich man. His Father's ships were trading in all the ports that those ships could go. They bought lots of things - silks and other articles in different ports of the world and then they traded for furs with the Indians then they sold the fur. They liked the colonies of the New World. So finally the sons of the old merchant came in from his ships with his gold. They bought about half of utchess (Dutchess?) County. They came from Holland with their wives and children, but there were more children born in York state. Cornelius married Sarah Green in January 1726. They lived in Falmouth, Massachusetts until about 1742. From Massachusetts he settled in Marlboro, New York. There is some indication that he may have lived for a while on Long Island. CHILDREN: Zadoc Lewis [F13], Micajah Lewis [F14], Rebecca Lewis [F15], Elijah Lewis [F16]. {S5}.
  
  
• F13. Zadoc (Zada) Lewis. Probably born in Massachusetts; son of Cornelius Lewis [F12] and Sarah Green. Zadoc fought in the Revolutionary War. Is this the same Zadock? Mary Lewis Osterman states that there were two who were related: Zadock Lewis 3rd Regiment of the New York Line, Sergeant, Card # 3594114, Capt. Andrew Billings Co. in the 3rd Regiment of the New York Forces, under command of Col. James Clinton, muster roll- June 28 to Sept 28, 1775, Camp at Ticonderoga, September 28, 1775. Enlisted July 4, 1775 and discharged due to illness on August 14, 1775 - From Nat. Gen. Soc. Freeholders & Inhabitants of Newburgh, NY, page 222.). His (Zadoc's) family fled to Steuben County, New York. Zadoc married probably Comfort (It may not be the same Zadoc). Zadoc is found in the 1790 census of Ulster County. New York. CHILDREN: William Barber Lewis [F17], Daniel Rowland Lewis [F18], Zalmon Lewis [F19], Elijah Lewis [F20], and possibly Elisha Lewis [F21]. {S5}.
  
  
• F14. Micajah Lewis. Born in 1727, probably in Massachusetts; son of Cornelius Lewis and Sarah Green. {S5}.
  
  
• F15. Rebecca Lewis. Born in 1729, probably in Massachusetts; daughter Cornelius Lewis and Sarah Green. {S5}.
  
  
• F16. Elijah Lewis. Born in 1730, probably in Massachusetts; son of Cornelius Lewis and Sarah Green. {S5}.
  
  
• F17. William Barber Lewis. William was born shortly after the Revolution; son of Zadoc Lewis and (Comfort?). William undoubtedly grew up in the Marlboro, Milton, New York area. How William got from Ulster County to Seneca County has to be speculative. It was an age of canal building and since William Lewis was known to have been a skilled stonemason we are inclined to think that he was connected with canal building. At any rate somewhere around 1810 when he was 28 or 29 he married Mrs. Sarah Miller Butler. She was a widow with two boys (Sidney and Lewis Butler) and may have been slightly older than William. He came from Seneca County, New York, where he lived for a time on the shore of Seneca Lake. William Lewis moved to Jennings County, Indiana in 1822. William was a veteran of the War of 1812 and as a result of his service was entitled to a land grant. The land available at that time was in Indiana. Perhaps William applied for a warrant before he left New York (State) or perhaps he merely expected to apply for his warrant when he arrived in Indiana. In any case, William and his family left Seneca County, New York, in the fall of 1821, likely in a covered wagon pulled by oxen. They traveled overland some 150 miles to the Allegany river where William either paid for boat transportation or built a raft and then floated downstream to Pittsburg, Penn. The Allegany joined the Monongahela at Pittsburg to form the Ohio River. Some time was spent in Pittsburg building a more elaborate raft for the trip down the Ohio. William never did get any government land. He had lost his discharge, he claimed that the paymaster required his discharge before giving him his final Army pay. He tried several times to re-establish his credentials but was unsuccessful. The British, of course, had burned Washington, perhaps because of this the War of 1812 was very poorly documented. William finally bought 100 acres along what was then known as Graham Creek, now called the South branch of the Muscatatuk River. William B. Lewis, Senior, born ca 1783 and died May 1864, around the age of 81 (Vol III p 296 of Coffee Creek Baptist Church Minutes) and wife Sarah Miller Butler Lewis preceded him in death. Sarah Miller born ca 1781 died November 26, 1848. The minutes record: "Sister Sarah Lewis departed this life November the 26th. 1848 in the 67th year of her age." Sarah had been received by relation on January 1824, only two years after having come to Indiana. CHILDREN: John Miller Lewis [F22], Daniel Lewis [F23], William B. Lewis [F24], Timothy B.

  THE GILEAD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
  
  About the commencement of the Revolution, a Congregational Church was organized in the vicinity of Carmel Village, and a log building erected on the hill a few rods north of the present residence of Ira White, Esq., and within the limits of the town of Southeast. The Society was familiarly known as "Gregory's Parish," after the name of their first minister. No authentic records of the Church are found until 1792, when a new organization was made, and a more commodious edifice built upon the ground now known as the Gilead Burying-ground, a little over a mile south of Carmel Village.
  
  The Constitution and Articles of Faith, then adopted, are as follows:
  "Frederickstown, August 9th, 1792.
  "We, the subscribers, members of different churches, and of the former church in this place, now dissolved, living in the vicinity commonly known as Gregory's Parish, considering it the duty of Christians to join together in covenant, and form churches for the glory of God and their mutual edification, wherever God in his providence may cast their lot, and place them under circumstances convenient for that purpose; and finding ourselves under such circumstances, and no church in this parish which we may join, and with which we can walk in the ordinances of the Gospel according to our persuasion; and having, as we humbly trust, looked to the Father of lights for wisdom and direction, and having also consulted with ministers and private Christians concerning our duty under present circumstances, have, after mature deliberation, judged that we ought, with the consent of the churches to which we belong, to unite together in covenant as a visible church, and Messrs. Ichabod Lewis, John Minor, Amzi Lewis, and Silas Comfort, Ministers of the Gospel, having by our request convened in order to assist us to unite and enter into covenant with each other with solemnity and propriety, we have therefore adopted and publicly received the following articles and covenant as the foundation of our union.
  
  "Articles of Faith.
  
  "1. There is one only living, true, and eternal God, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of the world; infinite in all perfection and glory, and worthy to be loved, worshipped, and obeyed by all rational creatures.
  
  "2. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, and a sufficient and infallible rule of practice.
  
  "3. Mankind are fallen from God, and. are naturally destitute of all holiness and inclined wholly to sin; and therefore are under the curse of God's law, and deserve his eternal wrath.
  
  "4. God purposed in himself before the foundation of the world, to save some of the human race by a dispensation of grace through a Mediator.
  
  "5. This grace has been revealed to fallen man by Jesus Christ, who, being really God, became man, and in the flesh performed the work of mediation, and by his obedience and death, opened up a way in which sinners may be freely justified by faith, and saved according to the divine purpose.
  
  "6. The Mediator, Jesus Christ, is the appointed Governor of the world and the final judge of the quick and the dead.
  
  "7. Those and those only who are chosen of God in Christ, and renewed by the effectual operation of the Holy Ghost on their hearts, do actually repent and believe unto eternal life.
  
  "8. God will continue his gracious operations on the hearts of his people until they are completely sanctified and fitted for his Heavenly Kingdom and glory.
  
  "9. God will overrule all things for his glory and the advancement of his Kingdom until the consummation, when those who are united to Christ by faith will be raised and glorified, and the impenitent and unbelieving eternally punished."
  
  "The Covenant.
  "We do this day solemnly take God for our God, Jesus Christ for our Saviour, the Holy Ghost for our Sanctifier, and the Scriptures for our rule and directory; and sincerely, as far as we know ourselves, covenant and engage by divine grace to devote ourselves to the service and glory of God, walking in all his ordinances, observing his commandments, living solely, righteously, and godly in this present world, trusting in the merits of Jesus Christ alone for acceptance with God, seeking his Glory and Kingdom, watching over our Christian brethren and sisters in love, studying to promote their spiritual edification, and therefore good, endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, and waiting for the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

  Who were the officers appointed in 1792, does not appear from the minutes of the Church record.
  
  It is believed there was then no settled minister, though the pulpit was occasionally supplied by the Rev. Mr. Lewis. At a meeting held, December 9th, of the same year, it was resolved that the name of the Society be changed from that of "Gregory's Parish," to that of" Gilead." Since then, it has always been known as the "Gilead Church." {S30}.
  
  He conducted a famous academy in North Salem, Westchester County, N. Y. {S14}.
  
  On 27 November 1794 he delivered a sermon at North Stamford, Connecticut; it being a day of public thanksgiving. The title is “Duty of praising God for his mercy and judgement.”
  Abstract: "If we consider the blessings bestowed upon the families and societies, with which we are connected, the towns or states to which we belong, or to our nation and land in general we shall find abundant occasion to give thanks. The truly thankful will easily recollect particular instances of the goodness of God towards their own connections. And a kind providence may be traced through various merciful dispensations towards our land from the first settlement of it to the present day. What great blessings has our country enjoyed? How many deliverances has it experienced? What abundance of temporal and spiritual favors have been bestowed upon it? The success of that great struggle, which terminated in the liberty and independence of our nation, and all the happy consequences of glorious revolution, ought to be remembered with gratitude, and celebrated with praise. The general prosperity of our country; our freedom from foreign war, while many of the nations of the earth are involved in the most destructive contentions, and the hopeful prospect of the continuance of our national privileges and blessings, call us aloud to give thanks to the Lord, to sing of his mercy, and celebrate his wonderful dispensations towards our land."

For additional references to Amzi Lewis, see: Dexter (Vol. 3, pp. 287-289); to Daniel Smith, see: Dexter (Vol. 4, pp. 731-732). Abstract: "A bereaved widow, a daughter and other near relations, an affectionate people, his brethren in the ministry, together with a large concourse of friends now present, mourn the death of the Rev. Amzi Lewis. A brief view of his character, will evince, that however affecting the bereavement, it is not without its consolations. Mr. Lewis was on many accounts very honorably distinguished in life. He possessed a strong and discriminating mind; maintained a high standing as a man and a scholar among his co[n]temporaries in Yale College, where he graduated in 1768; and has uniformly through his ministerial life, maintained a high standing as a scholar and a theologian: but his most distinguishing excellence consisted in being an eminent Christian, a laborious, faithful, and in a good degree successful minister of the gospel. All the treasures of his mind, both natural and acquired, were apparently devoted to the service of his divine Master, and the good of souls. In ministerial qualifications he had few equals - he was capable of detecting and exposing error; and was singularly happy in his method of illustrating and enforcing the most important and interesting truths of the Christian system; he could prepare milk for babes, and strong meat for such as were able to bear it. With a coolness and self-possession that rarely forsook him, and a prudence almost unexampled among the sons of men, he was able to establish and support an uncontrolled influence over the minds of those with whose he was most conversant; an influence which, it is believed, he always endeavored to improve to the glory of God, and their own spiritual good. During a long life, he maintained, to human view, a conscience void of offence - was constant and laborious in the duties of a gospel minister, with very few interruptions from sickness, till within a few months of his death. The life of this great and good man, this venerable father in the ministry, was closed on Monday the fifth of the present month; and while his mortal remains are shrouded for the grave, his soul, we humbly trust, has entered into the joy of his Lord. Let the afflicted widow, the daughter and other relatives, bless God for this consolation, and remember that however severe their loss, and affecting their privation, the change has been immensely happy to their beloved friend. May God grant you all needed consolation under this bereavement, and grant you grace, that you may be followers of those who through faith and patience have inherited the promises, and that you may finally share in that rest which remains for the people of God." Daniel Smith, pp. 12-13. {S11a}.

• F54. Amzi Lewis Junior. Son of Amzi Lewis [F47]. The earliest teacher [in Bloomfield, New Jersey] of whom we have full information was Mr. Amzi Armstrong, a young man about seventeen years of age, who taught on Watsessing Hill [later called the Franklin School-house.] in 1788 or 1789. He came from Florida, N.Y., and twenty years later, as Dr. Amzi Armstrong, became the successful principal of the academy. He studied theology under the Rev. Jedediah Chapman, of Orange, while he was teaching in the Franklin School-house, and was called to be pastor of the Mendham Presbyterian Church in 1796. One of his successors was the son of Mr. Armstrong’s former pastor in Florida, Mr. Amzi Lewis, Jr., who was teaching here in 1810. With him was associated Mr. Amos Holbrook. The two taught in the two school-houses, alternating a month or so at a time, in the year 1810. {S15}.
  
  THE ACADEMY [in Bloomfield] was projected in 1807, and sufficiently finished in 1810 for the reception of students. It was an unusual enterprise among the academies of the day. Its object was the education of young men for the ministry, and it was closely identified with the interests of the church. It seems in its highest days quite to have surpassed in reputation the academies of Newark and of Orange, whose origin preceded. It absorbed the attention of the town; and as all schools then were on the plan of the payment of the tuition, the academy first, and afterwards the academy and "Madame Cook’s School," quite overshadowed the common schools. {S15}.
  
  It was built by "a society for the promotion of literature," and "for the purpose of building an academy" upon joint-stock subscription, in shares of twenty-five dollars each. Its massive brick walls have since been adorned with a mansard roof, and its color has been made more pleasing to the eye. The corner-stone was laid with addresses by the Rev. Abel Jackson and by the Rev. William Woodbridge, then principal of the Newark Academy. {S15}.
  
  Mr. Amzi Lewis, Jr., became the first principal, a man of pleasing address and of undoubted abilities, who declined in health and soon died. {S15}.
  
  His successor was a graduate and a tutor from Princeton,— the Rev. Humphrey Mount Perine. The Rev Abner Brundage was his usher or assistant. {S15}.
  
  Rev. John Ford, who came from Princeton in 1812, followed Mr. Perine, and added French to the preceding attractions, assisted by his brother, Rev. Marcus Ford. {S15}.
  
  Rev. Amzi Ammstmong, D.D., became principal [of the Academy] from 1816 to 1826. Under Dr. Armstrong the academy was conducted as his own private school. Before he left Bloomfield the property was conveyed to the Presbyterian Education Society. The original stock in the building was lost, but fifteen hundred dollars were subscribed in Bloomfield to the society to aid them in making the purchase. {S15}.

• F62. Nancy LEWIS. She was born about 1758 (or about 1761) and was said to be of Bloomfield. Bloomfield, New Jersey was not named until 1812, so it is thought that she was of Bloomfield, New York. East Bloomfield, New York was formed in 1789 as part of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase and the township of East Bloomfield was defined in 1833. The Village of Bloomfield was incorporated on June 1, 1990 as the result of the consolidation of the two Villages of East Bloomfield and Holcomb which had previously existed side by side since 1917. Therefore, it is not likely that she was born in either Bloomfield. She was said to be of Dutch descent, known in this country at that time as “Mohawk Dutch.” She married John FAVILL [F454] about 1779, but it was said to be before the close of the Revolutionary War. They lived for a time at Haverstraw, New York, on the Hudson River. They then moved to Manheim, New York. In 1795 they moved to Gillett Creek (later renamed Ransom Creek), which was a part of Palatine, Montgomery County, New York. This area lies in the spurs of the Adirondack Mountains. It was beautifully situated, with fine opportunities for water power and surrounded by timber. It was at first a wilderness area accessible only by a trail through the forest, the first road all the way to Salisbury Corners being completed only in 1815. The settled at what is know known as Faville Falls. She died on 24 MAR 1834, age 73, in the area that was then called Brocketts’ Bridge, Herkimer County, New York, but is now known as Dolgeville, and was buried in the Faville-Peck or Sherwood Cemetery in the Town of Manheim, which cemetery lies 2 Miles northwest on Route 83 from Dolgeville.

He attended the district school in his boyhood, but, when eighteen, learned the blacksmith's trade, at which he was employed for twenty years, or until 1881. In 1849 he married Miss Hattie Cannon, of Sidney,New York, who was a native of Cannonsville, a daughter or Elisha Cannon. On September 8, 1892, Mrs. Lewis passed away; and her husband was left a childless widower. Like his father, Mr. Lewis is a Democrat. He was Road Commissioner in 1884, and is now serving in his fourth year as Justice of the Peace. For the last nine years he has been employed as clerk in the post-office of Sidney, which is recorded as a third-class one, although handling more mail than many offices of higher rank.

  Notes for SARAH LEWIS: This stampless doesn’t have any postal markings and was likely hand carried by a friend. It is addressed to Mr. John Lewis, Salem, and is a one and one third page letter written by Sarah Sherwood. The headline is Berkshire November 19. There’s no year date, but judging by the contents of the letter it was written ca. 1805 or 1806. From what research I did, Sarah was the daughter of John Lewis and she was born in 1743 in Waterbury, Connecticut and married Nathan Sherwood. These Sherwoods moved to Ohio in 1805 along with several members of the Lewis family. I’m not sure where the Salem is, in Ohio or New England? I assume that a genealogist would be able to figure it out, but it‘s my guess her father was still in New England. Her spelling is quite phonetic, but she does well enough. One online record states that John Lewis Sr. died in 1799. Maybe Nathan Sherwood and his wife left the home town before Lewis Sr. died and she was not aware of his death? Or is this letter written by a daughter of Nathan Sherwood and his wife? It would be great fun to research all this.
  
  Berkshire is in Delaware county, Ohio. There must have been a group of letters addressed to the Lewis family in CT at one time, as I just sold a letter from 1808 from Worthington, OH addressed to a Lewis. And Worthington is also in Delaware county. No doubt the letters are dispersed here and there and everywhere by now.
  
  The lack of postal markings might be explained by there being no Berkshire Post Office established at such an early date.
  
  Some abstracts:

  “… and all other things that we want to mak us comfortable flax I think I never see no better than john has got, Betty was verry much disappointed not having no cloth brought as wod is Scars [?] …”

  The handwriting of the last few lines [sentence] looks a bit different, and I think that possibly Nathan Sherwood finished writing for his wife, who was dozing off.
  
  Condition of the letter rates good, some minor staining here and there, a small separation at a corner fold. Tiny red remant of old sealing wax.
  
  As usual with stampless letters, after writing on one or more sides of a sheet of paper, the letter was folded several times and mailed. An interesting letter good for genealogy and history research. See my other auctions for similar items. {S33}.

• F177. (Captain) Joseph S. Lewis. Born 7 July 1803 in Washington County, New York; one of four children and only son of Barnet Lewis [F176] and Mary Stewart. While Joseph was still very young his parents moved to Madison County. When less than 17 years of age Joseph visited Geneva and was so pleased with the place that he made it his home for the next 76 years. A few years later he persuaded his parents to move to this section and they lived and died near Benton Center. Joseph's first employment was at the old Franklin House and his first business venture was the operation of a stage line between Geneva and Penn Yan. Later Delos Colvin became his partner and other towns were added to the route and a livery to the business. Mr. Lewis was a member of the first volunteer fire department of Geneva, a Leather Bucket Brigade. His leather bucket with his name on it still exists. In 1836 Captain Lewis was interested in the only boat then running on Seneca Lake and became its captain. Two years later he built and launched the first steamboat on what was then called Crooked Lake. This boat he named the Keuka, for the old Indian name of the Lake and gradually the name of the lake was changed from Crooked to Keuka. He personally commanded this boat for five years and became widely known to the traveling public throughout Central New York. During his life Capt. Lewis was connected with many business enterprises but he often said "The days spent on the Keuka on Crooked Lake were about the happiest."
  Prior to and long after the Civil War Captain Lewis carried on an extensive wool business, associated with Stuart S. Cobb. This business was located on Seneca street, corner of Union Alley (the present Times building) and ran back to Seymour Alley, with offices in front and wool storage in the rear. To the day of his death Captain Lewis was considered an expert judge on the quality and value of wool. The old "wool room gang," as they chose to call themselves, was composed of Captain Lewis and Mr. Cobb and their most intimate friends, and many of the political, business, civic and social enterprises of the town at that time were organized here.
  Captain Lewis was conspicuous in raising recruits for the 126th and 128th Regiments of Infantry. Lewis street was named for him. He was a charter member of the Kanadesaga Club and a lifelong Mason and in politics an ardent Democrat. He twice filled the office of village trustee and once was village president. For ten years preceding 1891 he was president of the Board of Education. He was chairman of the Board of Trustees of the First Presbyterian church and was one of the Cemetery Commissioners and a director of the Geneva National Bank, in which he was a large stockholder. Although a bachelor Captain Lewis was a very genial, social man and most domestic in his tastes. From a very young man he always maintained his own home, living for many years in Water street, now Exchange, near the present factory of the U. S. Radiator Corporation, and when that section ceased to be residential moved to Park Place, where he lived until he died June 18, 1896. He is still remembered by many older Genevans as always alert and active, wearing a silk hat and long black cape instead of an overcoat, and carrying in his mouth an unlit cigar. {S35}.
