Marietta Lewis family - Wabash Co., IN
The widow Marietta LEWIS appears in the 1900 census of Lagro Twp., Wabash Co., IN. Marietta was my wife's maternal 2nd-great grandmother, the widow of Jacob LEWIS and the daughter of Robert and Sarah (CYROLE) COOK.
Marietta's occupation was not given, but her son Amberson, was listed as a farm laborer. Marietta stated that her father was born in North Carolina and her mother in Pennsylvania, which conflicts with data from the 1860 census, where her father was listed as being from South Carolina and her mother from Kentucky. Marietta's husband, Jacob LEWIS, had passed away on April 22, 1898 in Lancaster, Huntington Co., IN.
Listed with Marietta were her son Amberson, aged 20; Wilford, aged 17; Lawrence S., aged 15; and Everett, aged 4. Daughter Elleiny was not listed, though she should be living at that time.

Leander Lewis family - Huntington Co., IN
The Leander LEWIS family was enumerated in the 1900-1920 census of Jefferson Twp., Huntington Co., IN. Leander was Eileen's maternal 2nd-great granduncle, the son of Solomon and Margaret (RHINEHART) LEWIS.
Leander was a farmer who owned his own home in all three census records. He listed his father as being born in Indiana in the 1900 and 1910 census, but in 1920, his father was listed as being from Pennsylvania. Leander's wife, Emily, was recorded as Emma, and she listed herself as born in Ohio with both parents being from Ohio. Both Leander and Emma could read and write.
Only one child, Ernest, was listed in the 1900 census, as a farm laborer, born February 1888. Yet the 1900 census states that Emma was the mother of 2 children who were both living. I have not yet found the record of the other child. By the 1910 census, Ernest was not living with his parents.
Leander LEWIS b. December 25, 1855 Huntington Co., IN., d. April 6, 1929 Huntington Co., IN., m. November 18, 18777 Huntington Co., IN to Emily ADAMS. Emily b. April 23, 1861 Preble Co., OH., d. January 31, 1932 Huntington Co., IN.
