Ch. with him in 1731. His fa.'s deed to Wm. Mitchell, dated 1683, must have been witn. by Peter Jr. and his w. Lucy in 1702, when it was ack. Culler of fish (Kit.,) 1692-3. Gr.j. 1714. Of the ch. listed in his will, 17 May - 21 June 1739, the first 4 can reasonably be assigned to his 1st w., but doubt increases with each of those following: Lucy, m. 1st in Portsm. 16 Apr. 1719 Samuel Briar, 2d 25 June 1724 Sylvanus Tripe jr. 4 ch. ment. by her fa.

[ref 33:582] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PETER 2 LEWIS, born circa 1669, died before 21 June 1739 when his will was probated (MW 412; MPA 5/174 #11424), son of Peter and Grace (Diamond) Lewis (LND, 429). Peter Lewis married second circa 1703 Elizabeth _____, who survived him and is named in his will. In this will, proved 21 June 1739, Peter calls himself a shipwright of Kittery. It is quite possible that only Peter's two eldest children were also Lucy's children. The five other daughters named in his 1739 will may have been his children with Elizabeth, ie, Mary, Katharine, Sarah, Abigail, and Eunice. Katharine, Sarah and Abigail were all baptized together in 1722 as young unmarried women, and Eunice was baptized five years later.
