At 12:12pm on November 20, 2011, Merrylyn Sawyer said…: Thank you, Ben, so vey much. He was actually born in 1762, in Prussia. He came over with the British. He had a son born about 1790, Lewis II and he had a son, Lewis III, so maybe the grandson was born about 1852. Thanks again for looking. Maybe it was such a quiet, out of the way town of Starks and when someone died no obit was written. Oh well. Thought I"d try to find something on him.
