Given his DOB (1637), I assume that his wife was Catherin Blyzzard (1640) and probably not Catherine Edelen (1670). I'll do some digging but if a descendant or expert in early Virginia and Maryland wants to help out, it would be appreciated.

This is a relevant link I believe: http://genforum.genealogy.com/lewis/messages/20927.html

Catherine Watkins

Catherine C Blyssard

We need to find where Ms. Edelen attaches since she was not Thomas Griffin Lewis' wife. Is that her correct given name?

We need to make sure we have the correct given name for the wife of Thomas Griffin Lewis. These two were clearly confused.

Hatte Anne Blejer, sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. What can I say, it's December and the calendar overtakes the desire to be on Geni.

The link you provided looks excellent. There are connections between the Lewis tree, the Blissard/Blyzard tree and the Richard Edelin tree. Where Catherine Edelin fits in, I can't say at this moment.

I have added this to my to-do list. I may not be able to do much with it before January, If anyone else wants to jump in before then, please feel free.

There’s a detailed and thorough discussion and description of Catherine Edelen and her two husbands at Wikitree, and more cryptic records compilation at Mike Marshalls database. I’d like to go ahead and connect her to her families (NOT Blizzard).
