Letter from the President

Hello,

I am John Lewis, President General of Lewis Family Descendants. I hope you are reading this because you are interested in the Lewis family, or you are already a documented lineage member.

The Lewis Family Descendants help support the colonial home Kenmore Mansion, home of Betty Washington and Fielding Lewis in Fredericksburg, Virginia. If you are currently a member and have not received our newsletter sent via email, please check your Junk or Spam file. If you did not receive your newsletter after checking those files, please email lewisfamilydescendants@gmail.com to request a copy and allow us to update our records with your current email address.

Our membership includes, primarily, descendants of Fielding Lewis, Sr. and Betty Washington Lewis, George Washington’s only sister. Our Lewis family periodically meets, in Virginia, for a Heritage Gathering. We visit sites related to Betty and Fielding, and we discuss our lines of descent with each other.

If you are interested in joining us as a documented, lineage member, please review the Qualifying Ancestors in the Membership section on this website. If you can document your legal, blood descent from these ancestors, you will not need to document your earlier Lewis ancestor. This list of Qualifying Ancestors brings your proven descent much closer to your own generation. If you think you are eligible, the Membership section on this website will provide you with the details. We cordially invite you to apply,

Lewis Family Descendants, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization with public charity classification.

We do look forward to hearing from you, and I hope you find the site helpful.

Best Regards,

John Fielding Lewis, Jr.
President General
