John LEWIS, II

  General Notes:

John's most published history is that he came from Wales with his father and four brothers, landing in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, removing to Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island where he resided for a few years until his soon to be wife immigrated to America, and by 1661 was among the prominent pioneers in Westerly, Washington County, Rhode Island. Our best information is that his ancestry is English but may have been in Wales at the time of his immigration to America.
March 22, 1661, John signed the Misquamicut Articles of Agreement (Oath of Allegiance) in either Newport or Westerly. He was admitted freeman in Westerly October 28, 1668.
