When my son (Ladd Lewis, Jr.) succeeded me in the active management January 1, 1911, it was remunerative and successful. I was sole owner and enjoyed only the largest and best trade in the United States, but under my son's guidance it has grown to proportions unthought of when I founded it in 1900 or retired from its management in 1911. He brought to it his young manhood, an education and an experience that fitted him to carry it on in a strong and vigorous manner, and it is a great satisfaction to feel that it is in safer hands and under better guidance than I could ever have given it myself." -"The Family History of Ladd J.

- LEWIS: R.I. Home built by Jonathan Jr. in 1747 (1 KB)
"I had the pleasure of visiting Lewis City and seeing this house in 1911. Until 1896, and even later it was occupied as a residence, but when I was there all the houses were unoccupied and all were in a state of decay. This house remained in the Lewis family until 1818... In the house where Jonathan III was born, where he lived all his life and where he died, was born to him and his second wife ten children as follows: Moses, Sarah, Anna, Silas, Hannah, Jonathan IV, Jesse, Joseph B. Martha and Peleg. Of this family, Moses, is my grandfather. Into the house built by his grandfather and in which his father, as well as himself, was born, he brought his bride Eleanor Ladd whom he married November 18, 1804. They lived in this house until 1818 when they moved to western New York." In 1911, Ladd visited this place and wrote, "I cannot tell of the thoughts that came into my mind as I went inside the old house that had meant so much, and had been so much to those who had gone before me. In one of the rooms I wrote on the wall as follows: 'This house was built in 1747 by my great, great, grandfather, Jonathan Lewis, Jr.' 'In this house was born my great grandfather Jonathan Lewis 3rd, August 15, 1752.' ' In this house was born my grandfather, Moses Lewis, September 20, 1779.' 'In this house was born my father John Ladd Lewis, May 1st, 1811.' I signed my name, stating where I was born and where I then lived. Not only the old house, but the graveyard where so many of my ancestors were buried, and the old well with its ancient sweep were there. Over and above all there was the little river, a mere brook. I went down to it, and into it, and from its waters I drank, not only the water, but the thought that in it and on its banks in thier boyhood days my great grandfather, my grandfather and my own father had played, and waded in its waters." -Ladd Lewis

To this farm they added 50 acres more adjoining it on the west a few years later. On this farm they lived the most of their lives from 1856 until their death."

A Mary Dorgan, daughter of Daniel and Mary, was listed as age 7 making her birth year 1873 but Matthew wasn't listed (by mistake?). The 1875 federal census lists a Matthew but not Mary! Matthew Dorgan's date of birth was listed as August of 1873.
