I am searching for any information on my great-grandfather Evan John Lewis. I have very limited information on him. I know that (according to his memorial stone) he was born in 1873. He came from Wales to the United States. I do not know what year that occurred. He married my great-grandmother Eliza Duff who was from England, but I do not know if they were married before of after immigrating to the US. I would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

Sorry,
I am trying to get information from other family members. I do know that he lived in Pennsylvania so I think he must have arrived in either New York or Canada. For some reason I think that all of their children were born in the US, so he must have been in his late teens or early 20's when he moved to the US

There were other Duffs in the small cemetary where he is buried. I wonder if these were his wife's family and he may have traveled with them.
