Something really interesting here: Ellis LEWIS and Robert ROBERT's
father (same father) was named Lewis ap Robert (Lewis son of Robert).
Apparently when the sons in America shifted from the Welsh to the
English naming system, one son chose LEWIS as the family name but the
other son chose ROBERT as the family name. Is that correct?
