In the William Brothers History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties, Ohio, on page 311, we find the following information concerning, Amelia Lewis Cole's family: "Zadak Lewis (Amelia Cole's father) came from Worcester County, Maryland, to Ohio in the spring of 1806.  He lived some seven years near Clarksburg, in Ross County, and then removed to Perry Township, locating upon the farm now owned by Milton Lewis.  There he died, February 28, 1835.  Mrs. Lewis (Margaret) died August 3, 1846.  The children were Soloman, who married Nancy Grey; Peter, who married Hattie Evans, and Milley, who married John Cole," and etc.

The above information relative to Zadak Lewis coming from Maryland was further substantiated after a review of Maryland's 1800 U.S. Census, Worcester County.  Zadak Lewis was enumerated as head of the household, along with other members of his family as follows: 3 males under 10; 1 male 26 but under 45; 1 female under 10; 1 female 26 but under 45 and 1 female 45 up (page 524 or 232).

We feel there is a need to point out that Zadak Lewis' name, whether spelled Zodak or Ziddock, as spelled on his tombstone, has been proven to refer to one and the, same person.  "Ziddock" and Margaret Lewis are both buried in Campbell, Grant Farm Cemetery, Perry Township, Pickaway County, Ohio.

Zaddoc came from Worcester Co, Maryland to Ohio in the spring of 1806. He lived about seven years near Clarksburg, Ross Co. Ohio; then moved to Perry township in Pickaway Co. Ohio. He was killed instantly by the falling of a tree when in his 60th year. He was a member of the Locust Grove Society, Hew Holland Circuit.  More information on Zaddoc on other family page on Zaddoc Lewis.
