  Notes	There appear to be two marriage records for Lewis Lewis and Mary Evans, one in Henfynyw Parish in 1830, the other in Llanfihangel Ystrad Parish in 1822, both in Cardiagnshire, Wales. Comparing the two marriage records, the signature of Lewis Lewis appears to be written by the same person in both records, and one of the witnesses, David Rees, is common to both records. There is no evidence that proves this Lewis Lewis is indeed the Lewis Lewis who died in Gallia County, Ohio, and is buried at Tyn Rhos Cemetery.
