Note: Information on the Lewis Family before Walden Lewis b. c. 1774 in Virginia comes from assumptions based on multiple sources. Therefore, the information on this page is not reliable for genealogical purposes. |
As of 3/2018, there are thirteen yDNA tests which match close enough to warrant researching how each family is connected. This section of research focuses on how the Lewis family connects to the Kennedy and Young families.
The Walden Lewis test is a 37/37 match to the Reuben Kennedy test. The Joseph Lewis test is a 37/37 match to the William Young test. And, these two groups are a 36/37 match.

Descendancy Analysis [Descendancy Chart]
1. Logic/ Mathematics explains how these families might be
related:
J = Joseph Lewis test Y = William Young test K = Reuben Kennedy test a = Lewis DNA strain b = CDYa mutation |
J(ab) + Y(ab) +Ka = 1 (J + Y)ab + Ka = 1 (J + Y) b + K = 1/a |
-yDNA means every
antecedent must be a male in the direct line. -Either the Joseph line or the Young line can be the ancestor of the other family. -The Kennedy line cannot descend from either the Joseph or Young line. -But, all members can descend from the Lewis male who fathered Reuben Kennedy. |
2. Current research locates these five families in:
Lewis | Caroline; Culpeper; Orange |
Kennedy | Culpeper; Orange |
Faulconer | Essex; Culpeper; Orange |
Burgess | Orange |
Young | Orange |
The nexus is Orange Co VA |
3. As information for the generation above Joseph Lewis and William Young and Reuben Kennedy is sketchy at best, the answer to exactly how these families are related will not be found without further research.
