There are seven indexed Joseph Lewis, but not one that married a
Faulconer.  But it does not show all of their marriages. Nor do find
Hutchison or Newman.

I just bought this book in the last few months (if time is not flying
faster than I remember).  It  was reprinted in 1984 and 1995 by
Genealogical Publishing CO of Baltimore.

Sorry I can't be of Help
