So the story goes... Of course Trader was not his first name, but his first name and origin is unknown.
OR, he was Rice Hooe

Captain Hugh Lewis
M, #933, b. 1652, d. 29 April 1689
Parents
Birth | 1652 | In Virginia, British America or Wales.1,2,3 |
Marriage | | It is possible that the Hugh Lewis who married Margaret Dallathy related to Barbados is not the right Hugh Lewis or Hugh Lewis had more than one wife. He could have married an Elizabeth Bright in 1680 in Shropshire, England. He immigrated in 1670, but he could have gone back for a wife...1,4,5,6
|
Marriage | 27 April 1680 | In Bishop'S Castle, Shropshire, England. I passed this buy for a few years, but after the note about a wife dying and going to England, maybe this is real... On the other hand, how many Hugh Lewis in England are there likely to be...7 |
Death | 29 April 1689 | At age ~37 in James City, Virginia, British America. I see no evidence for the details of his death. Plus there is a burial in England on a very similar date, so this may be a mistake. Or his body was returned to England for burial -- from Barbados, not Virginia. |
Misc | | Additional information to check out. Possible brothers, from a tree: Morgan b1651 Thomas 1669-1720 Martha 1672-1695 _____________________
Possible information about Barbados Connection in this saved page: Lewis Hugh b1652 - Ancestors of Captain Hugh LEWIS.pdf |
Misc | | Crazy theory of wives... Elizabeth Lewis was a slave . Hugh Lewis was the captain of a slave trading ship. He lived in Barbados with Elizabeth AND he had a wife in Virginia named Margaret Dallathy. Abadiah Lewis is the daughter of Hugh and Elizabeth Lewis.
https://www.geni.com/people/Capt-Hugh-ap-Lewis/381946617830012308 |
Misc | | Quotes that don't make sense. He Came first with his wife and daughters. He lost his wife in America Captain Hugh Lewis, father-in-law of Robert Davis returned to America with Robert Davis, who came away without the consent of his parents, and served four years in VA, King and Queen, for his passage, and married Abadiah Davis, with whom he had immigrated. See: Venables of VA, p.9 From the records of Gnosall parish, Staffordshire, England: Thomas, son of Hugh and Elizabeth ap Lewis, bapt. 21 Nov 1642. We know that Capt Hugh Lewis, father-in-law, of our Abraham Venables, I (84), was in Barbadoes in 1679. Capt.of James City Co. !REF: The Conpendium of Amer. Gen.8,9,10 |
Misc | | Parents -. Due to the good DNA matches I am putting his father as John Lewis of Chemokins. There are still issues, especially related to Barbados, and a mysterious John in Barbados.
It is also possible that these DNA match people are not children of John but of some other person. He could be the child of John's father John. John's father John apparently has a second child named John born about 1650. Hugh was born about 1652. John Sr died in 1657 in Virginia. What a mess! I'm thinking this is the right family if not the right father...
I read some places that John married Isabel in England before coming to America, elsewhere it was Virginia. And I read she was born in Virginia! If Hugh is his child he could have had another wife before that. BUT the DNA matches are both parents... If Hugh was born in 1652, his father was only 18.
Due to the large number of potential children in this family, I'm only putting in the DNA matches I have. WikiTree has all but two of them as children of John Lewis Jr and Isabella Miller Yard Those two are Colonel William (1660-1706) who is assigned to a different John Lewis and Zachary Lewis (1673-1725) where it is claimed not enough is known.
Many people propose that Hugh's father is John Lewis of Chemokins and his mother Elizabeth Isabella Miller (she does not work timewise).
The trouble is we know Hugh was in Barbados when he was young, with new info, plus his father was probably John. See the will of someone giving a ring to Hugh and mentioning John. But that John can't be the John Lewis of Chemokins who did not seem to have any records in Barbados. I cannot explain the matches, some of which actually connect. They may be relatives, but could John Lewis of Chemoknis have a brother also named John who was in Barbados? So I give up. So I am rejecting John Lewis (1633-1689) and his wife Elizabeth Isabella(1640-1704) Oh, look! Hugh might have been born when she was 12! The other children seem to start being born in 1660. |
Misc | | DNA Matches - 0. Scott nor Judy have any matches with siblings of our Abadiah Lewis with Hugh Lewis or Margaret Dallathy. That is disturbing. |
Misc | | Children. Except for Mary Elizabeth and Abadiah, there is very little information available about the children of Hugh Lewis and Margaret. In fact, basically nothing except the earlier ones being named in Margaret's father's will in Barbados.
Even Abadiah's information is confusing and disputed. |
Misc | 1663 | Mentioned in a will in Barbados.11 |
Residence | 1670 | In Virginia, British America. There is a record in Ancestry.com of a Hugh Lewis, Thomas Lewis, William Lewis and "Isabell" Lewis residing in Virginia in 1670. This could be our Hugh with other family members.12 |

his figure genteel, his complexion dark, his hair black, his
eyes of the same colour, animated, and penetrating: with a
pacific disposition; and the manners of a well bred gentleman.

John Floyd would have fitted most of the Floyd relatives of that time. In the appendix to The Life of Daniel Boone, Col. Floyd is described as “upwards of six feet high, somewhat slender, straight as an Indian and almost as dark as one, indicative of his aboriginal descent; brilliant black eyes and very black straight hair, presenting altogether a handsome appearance. He possessed a fine natural understanding, great integrity of character, and dis played on all occasions cool, undaunted courage and a heart full of the milk of human kindness. He and his connections suffered greatly from the Indians. Five of his relatives of the Davis family were killed by them [and three of his Floyd relatives]... but he lived long enough to make a name that shall long remain illustrious in the early annals of the West.”9 |

Isham Floyd
M, #944, b. about 1748, d. 1790
Isham Floyd is said to have accompanied George Rogers Clark on the expedition from Kaskaskia to Vincennes, the Battle of Vincennes. He would have been very young. He later was killed by Indians. (See Jennings, op. cit.) Anna Cartlidge says he was tortured to death by Indians in the Indiana Territory, and gives his death as 1790. He came to Kentucky in 1779 with his brother John Floyd, who left him land in his will "for assisting me in coming to this country." He was named for his uncle, Isham Davis.
Letitia Preston Floyd, 1843 to Benjamin Rush Floyd: "In 1788 Mrs. Floyd gave birth to a son which her husband named George Rogers Clark, after his friend and fellow soldier. About this time Isham Floyd was killed on the west bank of the Ohio. The Indians scalped him - cut off his ears, fingers and toes, after torturing him for three days, they cut out his heart and threw it to their dogs." (ed.: something awry here. GRCF was born 1781... but Isham was killed about 1790.)
...and as to the trip with Clark, Alex Luken found this book for sale: "BAILEY, Carolyn Sherwin .... TOPS and WHISTLES, True Stories of Early American Toys and Children, Paull, Grace illus., juvenile, VikingPr/JrLitGuild, NY, 1937, 1st Ed, 6x9, Red Clothbnd, 193pg, Real Toys & Real Stories... "True Stories of Early American Toys and Children." Ms. Bailey relates tales of the first doll dishes made in this country by the girl who had to prove she wasn't a witch; about the drum that Isham Floyd took with him when he stowed away in George Rogers Clark's flatboat; and about the kids in old Deerfield who shared a playhouse with the Indian children nearby, despite the Massacre, $16.00"

_________________
My ancestor this week is from my Mom’s side of the family and is my 5th great-grandfather, Isham Floyd. Isham was born in about 1756 in Virginia possibly in Amherst County, the son of William Floyd and Abadiah Davis. Isham parents, William and Abadiah, had at least thirteen children and Isham was number eight of those thirteen.
Isham’s twelve siblings, all born in Virginia and also possibly in Amherst County, were the following: John Floyd 1745-1783, William M. Floyd 1745-after 1821, Sarah Floyd 1747-after 1824, Elizabeth Floyd 1748-1833, Robert Clark Floyd 1750-1807, Jemima Floyd 1752-????, Nancy Floyd 1754-before 1791, Abadiah Floyd 1758-????, Charles Floyd 1760-1828, Abigail Floyd 1762-1834, Miss Floyd 1764-???? And Nathaniel Floyd 1766-1842.
Isham came from a fairly prominent family, not wealthy, but more than most at that time, with a good size plantation and slaves. I am sure Isham learned at an early age to help with the farming, and the day to day chores around the home place. Isham’s father was a surveyor and Isham may have even helped his father when he was out surveying land for different people.
Isham soon met and married Lydia Hardin on January 28, 1775 in Amherst County, Virginia. There were at least two sons born to this couple, first David Floyd born in the winter of 1775 or early 1776 and then Isham Floyd, Jr. born in about 1781. There may have been other children born after David and before Isham Jr., but at this time I have found no records to say this for a fact. Isham’s wife Lydia ended up in Williamson County, Tennessee where she died in about 1820. My direct line was David Floyd and his line settled in Smith and DeKalb Counties in Tennessee. David Floyd’s son Volentine Floyd left Smith County, Tennessee and came to Crittenden County, Kentucky in 1873 and Crittenden County is the county I was born in.
Isham fought in the Revolutionary War and was with General, George Rogers Clark at Kaskaskia in 1778 and also served as a sergeant in Clark's Illinois Regiment of Artillery, enlisting in this company on November 26, 1779. Isham’s brother, John Floyd was a Colonel in Clark's Illinois Regiment of Artillery as well. Isham was also in Captain, Robert George’s Company of Artillery and was at Fort Nelson on September 1, 1782. Isham is on a pay roll receipt dated up to April 8, 1783 but I have not found any pay rolls for him after that date, nor for his brother John Floyd who was supposed to have been captured at the same time by the Indians.
Isham died young sometime between the ages of 27 to 35, leaving at least two young children. I do not know for certain when Isham died as there has been at least three different years given for his death. Most stories say that he and his brother John Floyd were captured by Indians and that Isham and John were tortured in April of 1783, before being murdered by the Indians. The source I tend to believe the most is from Filson’s Quarterly, Volume 15, No. 1, page 22, which says the following: "The Indians captured Isham Floyd across the Ohio River, north of the Falls in April 1783. They scalped him, cut off his ears, fingers and toes and, after torturing him for three days, cut out his heart and threw it to their dogs." According to some sources he was killed by Indians in Mercer County, Kentucky in 1790, still another source says it was in June 1782 at ‘Crawford's Defeat’. I know Isham was at Fort Nelson in September of 1782 and is on pay roll receipts up to April 8, 1783, so there is no way he was killed at ‘Crawford’s Defeat’. Either way it sounds like Isham met an untimely and possibly excruciating death on the dark and bloody grounds of Kentucky.
