Chiefly a record of some of the descendants of John Lewis. He was born in Donegal County, Ireland 1678 to Andrew Lewis and Mary Calhoun. He married Margaret Lynn. He died in Virginia 1 Feb 1762. They were the parents of seven children.

Dr. Malcolm Harris' two-volume history and genealogy of "Old" New Kent County (the three present-day counties in the aggregate) is one of the great achievements of Virginia local history of the last century. Clearfield Company is honored to have been selected by the Harris family to produce this hardcover edition of "Old New Kent County." Privately published and out of print for many years, this work takes on even greater importance in light of the loss of county records in New Kent and in King & Queen counties and the survival of mere fragments for King William County prior to 1865.

This copiously documented volume sheds new light on one of the earliest families to settle in Virginia, that of Captain William Tucker of London, and on a number of allied families whose progenitors figured in the early history of the Virginia and Maryland colonies.

William Boddy (1634/1635-1717) immigrated from England to Isle of Wight County, Virginia during or before 1661, and married three times (probably once in England). Other early Boddy immigrants are listed. William spelled his surname Boddy, but many records in early Virginia record the surname as Body, Bodye, Bodie, etc. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and elsewhere. Includes records of various ancestors in England, Scotland and elsewhere to the early 1400s.
