Title: Lewis DNA
Text: I do have Y-DNA matches with my line that descends from Thomas Lewis, a son of Surles by his 1st wife, Sarah Berryman, and that of a couple of descendants of John Lewis of Fairfield's grandson, John Gibson Lewis of Putnam Co GA and White Co. TN, and also one from a descendant of the James Lewis of Fairfield and Tuscaloosa line, so I am pretty sure these are all correct lines.
