Lewis Dewees was by occupation a weaver, and for several years pursued his avocation in Philadelphia, afterwards buying land in Delaware, where he raised a family of children. He died in 1743 after accumulating considerable property. Lewis Dewees, youngest son of Garrett Hendricks and Zytian Dewees, was born in Holland, and emigrated to this country with his father and family in 1639. In the Kent county, Delaware, records he spells his name with the final "e," Deweese. He is mentioned as living in Philadelphia in 1713. In the year 1727 he bought land in Delaware of Joseph Pidgeon, who was the agent of the Philadelphia Land Company. This land consisted of a tract of 300 acres on the north side of Fishing Creek, Mispillion Hundred, and it was bought May 24, 1727. He sold this tract to his son, Cornelius Deweese, on May 3, 1739, for 50 pounds. Lewis Deweese was a weaver by trade. Nothing further is said of him in the Court records, neither is any mention made in family records. He died in 1743, his will being proved April 5, 1743, William Deweese administrator. He left four children, who are mentioned in his will: William, Cornelius, Samuel, and Hezekiah. [ref 95:19,210]
