The marriage record of Thomas Lewis and Margaret Williams states that they were both from the parish of Cilcennin in Cardiganshire, Wales. According to the obituary of his son, David D. Lewis, the Thomas Lewis family emigrated to the United States in 1834, and lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "for a good many years" before moving on to Gallia County, Ohio, where many emigrants from Cardiganshire had settled in the first half of the 1800s. However, abstracts of passenger lists of the port of Baltimore, Maryland, show the family arriving between 1 July and 30 September 1839. At the time of the 1850 census, the Thomas Lewis family was living in the 5th Ward in the city of Pittsburgh. The census lists Thomas Lewis, age 58; Margaret Lewis, age 61; David Lewis (shoemaker), age 27; Lewis Lewis (laborer), age 22; Evan Lewis (laborer), age 21; Eleanor Lewis, age 17, and; John Lewis, age 10. All were born in Wales, with the exception of John, whose birthplace is given as Ohio. There were two Thomas Lewises who filed naturalization papers in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, during the 1840s. It is not known if either is this Thomas. The first filed his Declaration of Intention on 2 January 1844, and the other on 14 October 1846. Both gave their birthplace as Wales. Thomas Lewis' will was written on 14 March 1854, and was probated in Gallia County, Ohio, on 25 May 1854. He left his estate to his wife, Margaret, including the northeast quarter of section 29, township 6 (Raccoon), range 16, consisting of approximately 40 acres, which would go to his son David after Margaret's death; the northwest half of the northwest quarter of section 18, township 6, range 16, consisting of approximately 80 acres, which his executor, David Lewis, was to sell to support Margaret, and; lot 44 in the town of Centerville in Gallia County. He also mentioned his other children and his grandson, John Howell. Margaret Lewis sold the lot in Centerville to A.S. Combs on 11 July 1865.
