While searching censsus records I find in the Hoopers Island area at the same time a Lewis ancestor's occupation as Sailor and another listed as oysterman and another as waterman. In the late 1800's was there any difference? My Grandfather James Mathew Lewis jr. was Captain of the skipjack Martha Lewis. Any input would be appreciated. Jeff Sarvey
