    Notes 
    • The previous information I've gathered indicated that David Lewis married Polly (no last name known) but the information from "Edmund Lewis of Lynn, Massachusetts, and Some of His Descendants" (page 50) indicates that David Lewis married a woman named Mary Boynton. This may indicate that Ara Lewis' father may have been a different David Lewis and not necessarily the one that traces back to Edmund. It is, at any rate, a glaring inconsistency.
    • 09/14/2022 - After further investigation, it seems that "Polly" was indeed a nickname or shortened version of "Mary". Various web sites reference this weird transition from Mary to Polly. From Wikipedia, "Polly is a given name, most often feminine, which originated as a variant of Molly (a diminutive of Mary)."

      So, it seems that this David's wife who is referenced as Polly could be Mary Boynton as referenced in the "Edmund Lewis of Lynn Mass" book. I'd still like to find more definitive records, such as a marriage certificate, but for the moment I will move forward with David's wife being the Mary Boynton of reference.
