DOWNING, LEWIS posted by Bobby Lewis on Wednesday, January 1, 1997: I am searching for information on Allen (Alan) LEWIS and his wife Annie DOWNING LEWIS who lived in Crescent City from about 1900 to 1913. He came there from someplace in N.C. While in Crescent City they had three children.The oldest being Clyde born in 1910, Henry Grady about 1911, and Laura in 1913. He left FL and moved to Bulloch County GA sometime around 1914. These were my grandparents and this is everything I know about them, they didn't leave much of a trail. Allen was a mean man and his children never asked any questions about where he came from out of fear of him. If anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
