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.
