      George Lewes is the first lineal Lewes ancestor to have come from England to the "New World". He was a clothier in East Greenwich, Kent County, England. He came to Massachusetts,in the ship Griffin in 1630, and owned land in Scituate in 1633 and was living in Plymouth in that year. He was a member of the Plymouth Church being dismissed in 1634 to join the church in Scituate. Sarah had a brother, Edward Jenkins, who lived in Scituate and was an inn keeper. The Rev. John Lothrop arrived in Boston with about thirty members of his congregation in Sept. of 1634. They went immediately to Scituate where George Lewes became a member of their group. They were probably know to one another in England.
     
     
      George and his brother, John, obtained lots on Kent Street named after the men who came from that county and were known as "the men of Kent." George's lot contained five acres and his house is No. 18 on Rev. Lothrop's list of the houses built. Twenty-seven householders had gathered themselves and their families into a church and community.
     
     
      George Lewes was named a freeman in Scituate in 1636, and his brother, John, in 1637. In the History of Scituate, Massachusetts, by Samuel Deane, Boston, 1831, is the following dated January, 1637: "Whereas certain freemen of Scituate, visit Mr. Anthony Hatherly, Mr. John Lothrop, William Gilson, Anthony Annable, James Cudworth, Edward Goster, Henry Cobb, Isaach Robinson, George Kennerick, Henry Rowley, Samuell Fuller, John Cooper, Bernard Lumbard, George Lewis and Humphrey Turner, have complained that they have such small proportions of lands there allotted them that they cannot subsist upon them etc". His actual date of admittance was 14 Jan. , in good standing, showing that he had been known to the colonists in England.
     
     
      In 1639, George moved to Barnstable and bought a lot second west of the Hyannis Road. He had several parcels of land, some of which were later sold to his sons, Edward and John. In 1648 and 1650 he was surveyor of highways, in 1649 juryman, and in 1651 constable. In "The History of Cape Cod: The Annals of the Thirteen towns of Barnstable County" by Frederick Freeman, 1862, Boston, under the "Annals of Barnstable County", George Lewes is mentioned as one of the first settlers: "A grant was also obtained. in September, for a settlement at Mattakeese, between Yarmouth and Sandwich; and in October the settlement was commenced chiefly by people from Scituate. Two persons are named in the grant, "Mr. Joseph Hull and Thomas Domoc," who, with their associated", were "to erect a plantation or town at or about a place called by the Indians Mattacheese;" but many persons of character and note were embraced under the term "associates," among who were the distinguished pastor, Rev. John Lothrop; also, Anthony Annable, Henry Cobb, Thomas Cudworth, Samuel Fuller, George Lewis, Barnard Lumbard, Samuel Hinckley, William Crocker, William Parker, Henry Bourne, and others.

George, a Separatist or Pilgrim, clothier turned planter by necessity, large property owner, is probably buried with the other first settlers near the seashore. His will was exhibited at court 3 Mar. 1663.

      "Lt. John Howland was born in Plymouth as he informed the Chief Justice Sewall when at Barnstable in 1702. He removed from Plymouth to Marshfield, and thence to Barnstable about the year 1658. His farm at Weat Barnstable contained about 90 acres, and in 1672 he conveyed by deed the easterly half thereof to his brother-in-law Elder John Chipman. A portion of his estate is yet owned by his descendants. He held many town offices and was lieutenant of the military company. He was admitted a freeman of the colony in 1658. There is some evidence that in early life he favored the Quakers. He certainly was opposed to the intolerant party of which George Barlow of Sandwich was the leading man. His wife joined the church Nov. 22 1691."
