John Lewis's sons were:

  1. William Lewis, Sr. abt 1660 France - 1720 N. Ireland m. Mary McClelland
  2. John[8] 1655 France - Virginia 1730 (sons?: Fielding, Howell, Robert)
  3. Thomas abt 1662 France - 1740s Dragonswamp, Middlesex County, Virginia.[9][10]

Jean Louis Lewis was born in France circa 1635, where his ancestors had lived for several generations, originally coming from Wales. In 1687, after France revoked the Edict of Nantes and thereby prohibited Protestantism, Jean Louis and his wife and three sons fled to Wales where he bought a tract of land, settled, and presumably lived for the remainder of his life. Jean Louis immediately re-anglicized his name to John Lewis. He was a gallant soldier for the British Army as evidenced by his participation in nineteen pitched battles and twenty-three sieges. He was finally appointed Commander-in-Chief and Colonel of the First Foot Guard.
