She was a daughter of Daniel Morris, whose father's name is often given as Stephen, but there is reason to believe he was a son of Capt. John Morris. Edward Lewis served in the Revolution, unless there has been some confusion between his record and that of his son, Edward. He died intestate, and his son, Edward, was administrator of his estate (921 R).

A miniature portrait of him is to be found in "Historic Morristown," by Andrew M. Sherman. Both he and his wife are interred at Morristown. His will is on record at Trenton (1554 N).
