Marriage and Family
Lewis apparently had three marriages. Lewis and Ann must have married in 1606 when he would have been twenty one or twenty two years of age. When and where his first marriage took place has not been learned. In any case, this first wife must have died shortly after the birth of her daughter, Ann. Factually, Lewis Latham's first known (second) wife was Elizabeth whose surname is also unknown at this time. They must have married in 1608. His last (and third?) wife was a Winifred Downes of whom very little is known. When he married her has not been learned but it was certainly shortly after 1621.
