^BIRTH **ARR85 has 1 Sep 1734; NHM105 has 1744; KAH303 & AF86 have 1 Sep 1737 in Goochland County, VA. 1734 conflicts with birth date of brother Nicholas. The problem with 1744 is her marriage date of 1755, meaniing she was only 11 when married. 1737 looks better.

^MARR **AF has John Lewis (PB3K-K0) of Goochland Co. 86
^MARR **WTL states her husband was John "The Honest Lawyer" Lewis, bother of Waller Lewis who married Sarah, Mildred’s sister. 581
