Sometime after 1860 Lewis headed west from Coles Co., IL. Lewis is still in Coles County in 1860. We are unable to find him in the 1870 census. In 1880 Lewis was living next door to his brother, Levi in Labette Co., KS. Sometime between 1880 and 1900, he moved to Calhoun Co., IA which is right next door to Sac Co., IA where Henry had been living since before 1870. The two families must have interacted a good amount as Henry's son, Andrew, was married to Matilda Cleveland at his Uncle Lewis' home.
