• Notes

  "Daniel Lewis the first settler in that part of Hopkintown, (from the History of Hopkintown,Rhode Island, by Rev. S. S. Griswold), was a fuller (one who shrinks and thickens cloth, especially wool, by heat, water and pressure) by trade and carried on his business where is now the Laurel Dale Mill, or very near ther. He erected the first dam there, and for many years carried on a thriving business. He was a firm, go-ahead man, honest in every particular, and when once set upon what he considered to be right, was firmly fixed. He was a member of the first Seventh Day Baptist Church in Hopkintown. In his will he gave to John the property at Laurel Dale, and to Daniel a farm in the Tomaquag Valley. From Lewisiana, "his grave and the grave of his wife and some of the children may be seen not far from the road, about half way from the Babcock house [1876]. to the late residence of Deacon Elnathan W. Babcock. On January 15, 1701, he and wife Mary deeded land to brother, David, and on July 15, 1704, bought 30 acres of Austin Odie. (See Vol. 12, p105, Lewisiana.)
