In his book "Before and After Mt. Pisgah", Clare B. Christensen, on pages 29 and 30, tells an interesting background of Mary Lewis, as does also Howard R. Driggs in his book "Pitch Pine Tales" (dated 1955).
Quoting from Clare B. Christensen: "Running Deer was a lovely Indian girl living with her tribe in an Indian Village in the western part of Massachusetts or along the Mohawk River in New York, which runs from Lake Oneida on the west to near Schenectady, north of Albany, into the Hudson river. White men came exploring. Some of them married Indian women. So it was, that Running Deer married a white man. They had children. Then, one of Running Deer's daughters married a man by the name of Lewis, who had a daughter, Mary Lewis.
When the dark haired, dark eyed Mary was a girl, her even darker mother took Mary to an Indian village. One of the Indian women gave Mary an Indian dress, another gave her moccasins, others gave gifts. Mary never forgot her visit with her kindred."
On those same pages, Clare B. Christensen claims (from stories told by Emeline Whiting) Mary Lewis died 1835 at Clay County, Missouri, and that Mary Lewis was daughter of Francis Lewis b.abt 1737 and Jane or Tryphena (the darker mother) who was the daughter of Squawman (perhaps Charles) and Running Deer b.abt 1715.
Mary Lewis and Sylvanus Hulet's daughter, Sally Hulet visited with her Mohawk Indian relatives about 1814, while on her way from Massachusetts to Ohio, in New York state.
Mary Lewis SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED with the Mary Lewis who married Elijah Noyes. Both were having children at the same time but lived many miles apart. Following is the WRONG Mary Lewis for us:TIB 1,263,172 SL 8441 6R p 383 gives following: Birth 3 Apr 1761, Parents:Jonathan Lewis (1731)/Persis Crosby /Elijah Noyes (marriage 16 Sep 1785 Sylvanus Hulet); TIB LA507357.Alt Birth: 3 Apr 1761 Alt Birth: 1763 Of, Lee, Berkshire, Massachusetts 1765 Of, Lee, Berkshire, Massachusetts

Notes:
Sylvanus was a Soldier in 2 campaigns in the Revolutionary War, against Bourgogne in 1777 and against Arnold, who burned his home town in South Connecticut in 1780. Three brothers, John, Sylvanus and Samuel were partners in a blacksmith and wagon-making shop and a mill in the edge of Lee township against Tyringham twp, Berkshire, MA. Samuel died 6 Mar 1813. The farm was valued at $35 per acre. The estate was settled and by 1815 Sylvanus and John had moved to Nelson twp, Portage, OH. When Sylvanus applied for a Revolutionary Pension in 1820, his 160 acres was valued at $3 per acre. Connecticut kept the NE corner of Ohio for Revolutionary Soldiers as the "Western Reserve".Sylvanus was 56 years of age when he moved to Nelson: his wife, Mary, 51. He owned more than $3000 in 1814 before he moved to Ohio. The Hulets were considered well-to-do at that time. Most of their children went to Ohio with their parents. When Sylvanus applied for a Revolutionary pension in 1820 his 160 acres was valued at $3 per acre. Their oldest daughter, Sally, had married Elisha Whiting in 1806. They came to Ohio a few years after Sally's parents came, about 1816. The Hulets were baptised Mormons in Oct 1831. About 1831 they moved to Independence, Jackson, MO. Oct 31, 1833 mobs drove them north across the Missouri River into Clay County. In 1836 they moved north into Far West, Caldwell, MO. In early spring 1839 they moved to Melrose, Lima twp, IL, about 30 miles south of Nauvoo. In the fall of 1845 mobs drove them into Nauvoo. Sylvanus was a member of the Nauvoo, Illinois First Ward. In 1846 they were driven into Iowa, later coming to the Salt Lake Valley.Patricia Skinner (4 - 2000) patty555@webtv.net "Sylvanus bought land in Lee, Massachusetts and Great Barrington in 1800. He stayed in that vicinity until approximately 1812, when he boutht land in the new frontier - Ohio. He moved to Portage, Ohio. He married Mary (Polly) Lewis. Sylvanus' children were among the early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). . . . Sylvanus can be found in the tax list for Hiram, Portage County in 1817 and 1818. In 1819 and 1820 I have found him in the tax list for Nelson, Portage County, Ohio. He applied for a Soldier's Pension on 14 Jun 1819 while living in Nelson. Many in his family moved to Missouri and then later to Utah."Four families descended from Sylvanus (4) Hulet came early to Utah.1. Elvira (6) Mills Cox, daughter of Rhoda (5) Hulet Mills, arrived in Salt Lake October 2, 1847. She lived in Manti and Fairview. Her descendants numbered about 2000.2.
