Thomas Lewis

By 3 Mar 1703, Thomas Lewis was in New Castle County, Delaware where a survey of 200 acres within the Welsh tract was made for him. This land likely was located within the Pencader Hundred of New Castle County (105).

In 1727, Thomas Lewis purchased 500 acres of land from John Welch. Soon after the survey of the Welsh Tract within the Pencader Hundred of Delaware and Maryland, John Welch acquired 561 acres, and later an additional 851 acres of land. Of the latter, he sold 500 acres on 17 Aug 1727 to Thomas Lewis (105, 382).

On 13 Jun 1749, Thomas Lewis made a will in New Castle County, Delaware, naming sons Evan Lewis, Alexander Lewis, James Lewis, and David Lewis, as well as a daughter Elizabeth Lewis who married Reece Thomas (381). Thomas Lewis named Reece Thomas as executor of his estate. The Will of Thomas Lewis was filed on 27 Jun 1749.
