The following John Lewis was often referred to in legal documents as John Lewis "Byrd" to differentiate him from all the other John Lewises. The fact that Asa & George Thomas were witnesses to this document in Pittsylvania Co may indicate prior ties between these families as far back as Goochland Co.

[Asa has died and apparently was never removed as Guardian. Philip has become their Guardian by default.]

The following is odd because no records exist indicating Asa was ever married or had issue. No wife ever signs dower to his many deeds.
1810 Census. Caswell NC
Asa Thomas: 2 males between 10-16, 1m 16-26, 1m over 45. 1 female over 45. 9 slaves
A number of other Thomas families were in Caswell at this time: Nancy Thomas, David Thomas, Daniel Thomas, Henry Thomas, Josiah Thomas, two John Thomases - most not part of this family.
Another record suggesting there was possibly another Asa Thomas in the area is service in the Rev War:
Roll of Capt. Clement Halls Caompany in the 2nd NC Battalion Commanded by Colo. John Patten. White Plains, Sept 9, 1778. Enlisted 29 Apr 1776 (This Asa would have been not yet 14 in 1776!.)
