This is what I had at the time for George Lewis: GEORGE LEWIS, Immigrated Before 1633 From Kent, England In 1634 he was given permission to leave his church in Plymouth to join the Lathropp Group in Scituate. He may have been part of that group in England, however there is no record that he was imprisoned with the group before emigrating to America. George was a clothier by occupation (a cloth maker or clothes maker). Most of this I found in Savage "Early Settlers of New England" GEORGE, Plymouth, and Scituate, where he join. the ch. 20 Sept. 1635, a clothier, was from East Greenwich, in Kent, bef. 1633, and rem. to Barnstable bef. 1641, had in Eng. m.
