Biography
From http://lewis-genealogy.org/genealogy/Lewis/Henrico.htm
There was a prominent John Lewis family of Henrico Co VA. Unfortunately, this family is not well documented. And, this family was incorrectly associated with the Warner Hall family. This family has correctly been identified as the family of Joseph Lewis of Henrico Co VA; therefore, the Christian name Joseph is disassociated from the Warner Hall family. He was born c. 1635 Wales and Immigrated before 1660 to Virginia, died c 1686 in Henrico.
