"Samuel, second son of Samuel and Reliance Lewis, was born April 13, 1726, in Barnstable, and resided in Waterbury. Connecticut. Little further can be learned concerning him. In 1780 the town of Watertown was set off from Waterbury, and Samuel Lewis was among the incorporators of the town. In 1795 this town was divided, most of that portion east of the Naugatuck river being erected as the town of Plymouth. In 1788 Samuel Lewis and his wife were admitted to the Plymouth church by letter."
