Reference notes for Dr. Waller Lewis
DR [137] has Lewis, Sarah & Waller Lewis 6 Oct 1786. This conflicts with birth dates! But this does match the birth date of daughter Lucy Lewis. 585

Note: “The dates shown for the couples on pages 98 through 149 are not marriage dates, but are “presumptive” marriage date.

The dates shown on pages 98 through 149 are the birth dates of the oldest child of the couple, as found in the birth and baptism section starting on page 150 of this book.”
Research notes for Sarah (Spouse 1)
FU: WC db=:3097661&id=I8956 has a first marriage to Joseph Stapleton.
Joseph Stapleton was from Maryland; b. 1742 d. 1784. Seems unlikely that his wife Sarah Lewis was daughter of Robert & Jane.
