We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Juanita Lewis, who has since passed and joined the Lord, and her daughter Janese Lewis. Both have been immensely instrumental in compliling the comprehensive data for our family tree.
Harding was a descendant of the Lewis Family of Copiah County. His mother was Rosanna Burns and father was Joseph Lewis. They were both born in Copiah County. Harding, along with other descendants of the Lewis family was interest in tracing their ancestors and this is why he researched and wrote the book.
Although Harding is deceased, he requested information from the family to help him document his book. He requested copies of birth and death certificates of persons listed in the book. He requested, and we are still requesting these persons that were born in Copiah County certificates.
If anyone has a picture of Harding Lewis and additional history of Harding I would appreciate it if you would email it so I can post it
on the website.
