          52 years (confirming Indiana source for his marriage to Susannh

          Boots) — 5 children said to be born, 2 living in 1900 —

          apparently in reference to his first marriage: a grandson,

          Marion, age 14, is with the family (probably the son of Martin,

          as Samuel is at the same home, his parents, apparently

          unmarried); his sister, Sarah Ann Lewellen, as Mrs. Martin S.

          Boots, lives at adjacent property, he born in VA, she in IN,

          both with parents born in Virginia; Randolph Co., IN Marriage

          Records; Barbara Carpenter’s correction to L. Ellingham’s "John

          R. Lewellen Descendants" [2002]: ‘Ryan was his middle name "we

          think" & died "ca. 1910"’— ‘no one seems to know the date of

          death or where he is buried … probably Lewellen or Terry cem.??

          I (emphasized) think Lewellen (which is just a few miles from

          Terry) because he married a younger woman & she probably thought

          she would be buried by him & not 1st wife. However she lived to

          be over 100 & their daughter had taken her to Nebraska years

          before and she’s buried there.’ — speculates there may have been

          a four child in the 2nd marriage, an infant death; Barbara

          Carpenter to L. Ellingham [23 Jan 2003]: ‘family says John Ryan

          Lewellen — I’ve found no proof of the Ryan — but that was his

          mother’s maiden name’ & there must have been another infant by

          this marriage but no one knowns about it & didn’t know about

          John either’
