Lewis
The Lewis family held lands in Leitrim, Longford and Roscommon. William Lewis is recorded as a lessor of property in the parish of Kilronan, barony of Boyle, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The ''Landowners' Survey'' of 1876 notes that Capt. W. Bond, with an address at Edgeworthstown, owned over 300 acres in county Roscommon at that time. In November 1877, over 1000 acres of the estate in the baronies of Dromahaire and Leitrim, county Leitrim and the barony of Boyle, county Roscommon, were offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court by the trustees of the marriage settlement of William Bond and Mary Letitia Bond, nee Lewis. The property had been held under a fee-farm grant dated 1840 between Thomas W. Bond and William Lewis. William Lewis was among the principal lessors in the parish of Cashel, barony of Rathcline, County Longford, at the time of Griffiths Valuation. Col. Arthur G. Lewis was among the principal lessors in the parish of Abbeylara, barony of Granard, at the same time. Captain H. Loftus Lewis and Henry Owen Lewis both owned over 500 acres in County Longford in the 1870s.
