Thomas Lewens

Facebook Twitter Print Mail
  • Evidence from genealogical and church records proves that the Thomas Lewens, or "Lewins" family likely traveled to Utah in 1849 or 1850. A child was born about 1850 in Missouri. The first documentation to place them in Utah is a church record taken in the Spring of 1851, before the arrival of that season's emigration. Further research is needed to determine the year they came to Utah and the name of the company they traveled with.
