George, freeman of Plymouth Colony on 3 Jan 1637 [Plym. Col. Rec., 1:48], moved to Barnstable by 1641, lived at times in Plymouth and Scituate, MA. George was among those freemen of Scituate granted land on Jan. 1, 1638, provided that they erect a ferry over the North River [Plym. Col. Rec., 1:72-3]. He was one of those Barnstable townsmen found fit to bear arms in Aug., 1643 [Plym. Col. Rec., 8:193].

      "George Lewis (clothier) was one of those dismissed from Plymouth Church in 1634, 'in case they join in a body at Scituate.' He had lands here [Scituate] in 1633. His house lot was on Kent street, the first south of Meeting-house lane. He came from East Greenwich in Kent. He married Sarah Jenkins in England, sister of Edward Jenkins. There is no regular record of his children: some having been born in England, others in Plymouth, others in Scituate, and two in Barnstable."5
