Documentation:
Daniel Lewis, was a native of Kentucky, born in Shelby
county, December 4, 1800, where he lived until he was twenty-seven years
old when he moved to Indianapolis, Indiana. After spending a couple of
years there, and three years at Quincy, Illinois, he located in Des Moines
Co., Iowa. In the fall of 1850 the family joined a wagon train headed for
the California gold rush; because of a storm that overturned their wagon
and injured Daniel the family stayed in Mills county, Iowa. He located
on land then in the possession of the Mormons, and from whom he purchased
it in Aug. 1851. It was then known as Cutler's camp. At the time Mr.
Lewis came to Mills county the country about him and Malvern, except the
"Mormon settlement" was unoccupied by white men. He was identified with
the first formation and settlement of the county; he was a member of the
first grand jury organized in the county; he had seen corn sold in the
early days of the settlements for $1.50 per bushel; his farm was in
section 7, and contained over twelve hundred acres.
