George Lewes, ancestor of the Lewis family of Barnstable, came from East Greenwich County, Kent, England; a clothier; he probably resided for a time in London, where he was a member of Mr. Lothrop's Church in 1632; married about 1626, Sarah, sister of Edward Jenkins, who was a resident of Scituate. Lewes probably did not come over until after the church in London was broken up, and the imprisonment of Mr. Lothrop in 1632; but was in Plymouth the following year; and a member of the church there in 1633-4. He was one of those dismissed from the church in Plymouth in 1634, "in case they join in a body at Scituate;" and became a member at Scituate Sept. 30, 1665; he moved to Barnstable in 1639. Otis says: "He was an honest Goodman, and got his living by his labor; a sincere Christian; and his constant purpose seems to have been to live in peace with all men; to avoid suits at law; to yield rather than contend with his neighbor; he was not a shrewd business man, and not perhaps so careful a manager as many; he did not hold that the chief end of man is to gather up riches, but to do good; to train up his children in the way they should go, to be useful citizens, honest and industrious men. His son, James was a man of more energy of character, of more business tact, and became a distinguished man; Thomas was in some respect like him; the other sons were like the father, good, honest men; quiet and respectable citizens; and their descendants to this day inherit the same good qualities." He died in Barnstable in 1662-3. 8 children. -[Otis Papers]
