  • Notes 
    • From Chat CPT, Sept 2025:

      George Lewis (often shown in county genealogies as born ca. 1753 and associated with Cornville/Canaan area of Maine; married Dorcas (Lambert)). —  Compilations of Maine Lewis families treat this George as the earlier generation from which the local Lewis men descend (county/genealogical compilations/FHS transcriptions).
      FamilySearch

      (Probable) Isaac / Samuel / earlier Lewis —  the George (b. ca.1753) is usually placed in the published Lewis family genealogies as a son (or descendant) in a line that goes back to Isaac / Samuel Lewis families of colonial New England (these names appear in the published Lewis compilations and local genealogical studies). The exact spelling/branch differs between compilers; see the Genealogy of the Lewis family in America / local Maine family histories for the branch placement.
      Internet Archive

      (Colonial New England Lewis ancestors) —  those county/genealogy works tie the line into the larger New England Lewis families whose immigrant ancestor(s) date to the 1600s (e.g., George Lewis of Casco Bay / Lewes family). These are standard deeper anchors in Lewis family compilations but require careful deed/census/probate corroboration to be certain for this Sangerville branch.
