L. Nathan Lewis, deceased, was a native of Vermont, but, when a young man, 
moved to St. Lawrence County, N. Y., where his children were born. In 1845, he 
came to Illinois, and lived in Kane and McHenry Counties for about four years, 
when he came to this county and settled on a place on Mazon Creek. Mr. Lewis 
died in December, 1853, at his old homestead. He organized the first church in 
the township, at the residence of David Gleason, and was their first minister. 
This was a Free-Will Baptist Church, and there were six members at the 
organization. Mrs. Nathan Lewis is still living in this township, with her 
daughter, Mrs. E. B. Stevens. Mrs. Lewis was born December 25, 1800. In 1858, 
Miss Fannie Lewis (now Mrs. Stevens) was married to Dr. John F. Trowe, of New 
Hampshire. They lived in Dundee, Ill., till 1800, when Mr. Trowe died. They 
had one son, Frank.
