NOTES: The history said wife,Elizabeth,died at age 96. If so, she would had died in Iowa because the George Lewis family went to Iowa from Missouri in the Civil War time period. Dates are standard calculations from George Lewis Roberts' 1817 birth year. However, Elizabeth could have been younger than Harvey if she wer at 16 when she married about 1804 she would have died about 1885. This history seems to read that Elizabeth died before they went to Iowa.
NOTES: This history states that Elizabeth died at age 96 at the home of George Lewis Robertson, her son. George Lewis took his family from Missouri to Iowa during the Civil War to be safe from the Confederate armies. (George was apparently sympathetic to the Union.) Discrepancies surface here, as the history seems to indicate that Elizabeth died before they went to Iowa. Her death date and surname are unknown as of 12/99.
