      John Lewis, 26, farmer; Edah (female), 25; Bell (female), 9 months (Note: There is a discrepancy here, in that Tyler Co birth records show the birth of a son, Samuel Bell Lewis, born to John F. & Adah Lewis on Sep 9 1869. But her death record identifies her as a female, Selina B. Lewis, age 1y 10m at the time of her Aug 1871 death.)
