Line of LEWIS WINANS		JOHN-JOHN-LEWIS-JOHN-LEWIS (1-5-5-1-1)

LEWIS was b 13 July 1772 d 15 May 1861 in Stanton Twp., Troy, Ohio md his cousin b 15 Aug 1784 d 29 July 1862 in Miami Co., Ohio dau of Benjamin-4 and Mary (Sutton) Winans (1-5-5-2). The above birth and death dates are on the records at the Raper Chapel Cemetery in Miami Co., Ohio. The birth date for Lewis has been given as 1778 and his death date as 1855 but this doesn't agree with the cemetery records. Also it has been said that Lewis md a second wife by the name of Lydia who was a cousin to his first wife Lydia. But I do not see how this could be true if he died in either 1855 or 1861 as Lydia (1st wife) died in 1862. This 2nd Lydia Winans was supposed to be a dau of an Uncle Kelsey Winans but no record has been found of him. AWE.

1 Mrs. Egy may be off by about 5 years on this Benjamin's birth date. The 1860 census lists him as 79 years old, living with his son Richard in Adams county, Indiana. O. C. Winans' book gives a 1780 birth date, based on information supplied by his descendants.
2 According to Highland Cemetery's burial records and James' tombstone, he was born 28 Dec 1834 and died 14 May 1906.
3 This may be a misreading by Mrs. Egy of a source document, since there is no evidence for a second daughter, but we've learned that there was a George W. Winans among John Winans' sons.
