this is like a puzzle
Good fun and frustrating in equal measures.

Alfred Lewis died (was murdered) in January on 1840 south of Tampico when was returning from Mexico City. His killer was Mr. Hilario Galvan (his servant). Mr. Galvan stole some gold that Mr. Lewis had with him. Galvan was arrested and after a rather complicated proceeding was executed. Mr. Lewis was in Mexico already in 1837 and by then his wife was deceased (apparently of a "stroke" in New York City) already and was with his 3 children: Louisa (she married Denis Meade in 1838), Frances and Alfred. At the time of his assassination he was involved in buying mines, therefore no question he was an investor. It is not clear where he met his wife, where they were married, why Louisa was born in West Indies, Frances in London or Alfred in Marseilles or London or why Mrs. Lewis died in New York, but in my opinion he was traveling as he was investing. About the religious affiliation, what was discussed already is as much as I know.
