I am a direct descendant of John Lewis and have searched for his parents for 50 years. I have even hired a genealogist in England, to no avail. There is no evidence whatsoever that Edward and Mary - or any other couple - were his parents. Likewise, the information on FindaGrave is incorrect. Please! Stop adding parents!
