  Connecticut, 1600's-1800s Local Families and Histories New England Families, Vol. IV Genealogies and Memorials Page 1955 Genealogy.com (II) Lieutenant James Lewis, son of George Lewis, was born in England in 1631, died October 4, 1713.

In 1655 his house lot of twelve acres was situated west of Taylor's lane. By his industry and frugality he acquired large amounts of land, and in 1678 owned practically all of the land between Taylor's lane and the Hyannis road. In 1703, when the common lands were divided, he had forty-eight and three-quarters acres.
