My Neck of the Woods

This is the account of five different Lewis families known to have inhabited Darlington Dillon Florence Marion Horry and Georgetown counties in South Carolina; and Brunswick Columbus Robeson Cumberland Sampson Duplin Pender New Hanover and Bladen counties in North Carolina. For each family like that of William and Mary Lewis who settled in Brunswick County in 1731 (Key Lewis Family #1) Mr. Lewis traces descendants into the 20th century and with the aid of computer-generated diagrams illustrates their migration patterns throughout the Carolinas. Working from the U.S. federal censuses from 1790 through 1920 court records secondary sources and countless Internet sites Mr. Lewis has laid the groundwork for genealogies of five separate Carolina Lewis families. Additionally the appendixes to the volume house a bounty of marriage death land and other source records that constitute yet more clues about the Lewises.
