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.
