His parents were Jeremiah and Eleanor (Blaisdell) LEWIS.
BIO:
"Rev. Daniel B. Lewis, was born in Cornish, ME, March 1, 1804, and died at Waterville, Oct. 16, 1859. His parents moved with him to Waterville, where, at the age of twenty, he publicly convessed Christ, and the next year was baptized by Rev. L. Lewis. He soon saw his duty clearly, and after deep conviction, began to preach. He was licensed, and in 1831 was ordained by the Exeter Quarterly Meeting in Pittsfield, ME.
For thirty years the Sabbath nearly always found him at his post preaching Jesus. His evenings he gave to study and to preparation for his ministry. In Sydney, Waterville, Smithfield, Belgrade, Mt. Vernon, Readfield, Unity and Thorndike he went organizing churches and baptizing converts. He has been called "quite the father of the Waterville Q.M." He was a modest, unassuming preacher, firm and unwavering in his faith, earnest and effective in his appeals."
--from "Cyclopedia of Free Baptists," pub. 1889, by Burgess and Ward.
He was married 13 Sept. 1824.
