Lewis's biography is the principal source of information on Bowles (1761-1843), an African-American Revolutionary War veteran and itinerant Baptist preacher whose circuit included portions of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the entirety of Vermont, where he established a Free-Will Baptist Church at Huntington in 1839.
