James Lewis is born to James Lewis & Sarah Potts in Pottsgrove, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
About 1728 Thomas Penn appears to have been engaged in business of some sort in London, and to have had a partner. He writes to his brother John Penn, April 26 of that year, and signs the letter " Thomas Penn and Company;" in it he speaks of " my business on partnership, of which I some time since acquainted thee."
