Biography

Elizabeth Lewis (probably the wife of John Lee) is of Welsh ancestry on her father's side and is supposedly a descendant of King Henry IV of France who was born in Pau (Basses Pyrénées) France, Dec. 14, 1553 and died in Paris, May 14, 1610 through the Lewis line.

When Elizabeth Lewis was born about 1754 (maybe born up to 1770) in New Hanover County, North Carolina, her father, Jacob, was 26 and her mother, Penelope Loper, was 21. She married John Lee in about June 1786 in Wayne County, North Carolina. They had about seven children in 20 years. She died in 1840 in Ware County, Georgia, having lived a long life of 86 years.

When Jacob's children were young, he separated himself from his family, indicating that Penelope Loper had been unfaithful to him and that the children were not begotten by him, but by a man by the name of Walston. Some descendants doing DNA research have said to have found DNA matches with "Walston" descendants.

There seems to be no documentary proof that John Lee married Elizabeth Lewis.

WikiTree computer examines the profiles and among the items they examine are the links to outside websites. In this particular case, and because almost everything online is ephemeral, unless in the cloud, the situation changed at the website with ref to Elizabeth Lewis, married name Elizabeth Lee ACCORDING to the computer.

I just now checked the link, https://www.senclewises.com/jeanlouis.html. The new URL is for jeanlouis, rather than the previous link (now removed) which was for jeanlewis

So that NEW information explains the reason the link being marked forbidden

You will want to put the NEW link (the jeanlouis) in the place where the old link (removed for error) had been

When an error is corrected, it is considered to be an improvement in the profile. An improvement is done to make a thing "better" or to make it "better" than some other thing. Better might mean more efficient energy use or it might mean that a visual is more symetrical or colorful. In a profile it would be removal or correction of errors.

It is a "minor correction" because removal of a bad link is easily done. Cleaning up a chaotic merge result, or a profile file stuffed with junk, etc, requires more skill than merely removal of a faulty link.

Jean Louis (also see family tree) was born in France circa 1635, where his ancestors had lived for several generations, originally coming from Wales. In 1687, after France revoked the Edict of Nantes and thereby prohibited Protestantism, Jean Louis and his wife and three sons fled to Wales where he bought a tract of land, settled, and presumably lived for the remainder of his life. Jean Louis immediately re-anglicized his name to John Lewis. He was a gallant soldier for the British Army as evidenced by his participation in nineteen pitched battles and twenty-three sieges. He was finally appointed Commander-in-Chief and Colonel of the First Foot Guard. The date of his death is currently being researched. Stay tuned. https://www.senclewises.com/jeanlouis.html

The greatest amount of the above information comes from the book, "William Lewis, Jr. and His Descendents of Black River North Carolina," written by Mr. Claude S. Lewis of Sampson County, NC and published by its author in 1982. © 2002 - J.D. Lewis - PO Box 1188 - Little River, SC 29566 - All Rights Reserved

Your comment is incorrect:

"I just now checked the link, https://www.senclewises.com/jeanlouis.html. The new URL is for jeanlouis, rather than the previous link (now removed) which was for jeanlewis." This is simply not true. There is no "new URL". Susan Smith, on July 8th you simply removed two links/sources at the time of your correction/removal and this is uncalled for. They were not "bad links." They were not "faulty links". Your explanation is not an answer and it is irrelevant to my question.

Apparently the links were marked by the computer by mistake on the part of the computer. Action steps indicated removal of the bad link was an acceptable option.

You have evidently put the two links into place since they are there currently in Souces for the profile and they each function now

I queried on google : wikitree, error 966 and there's quite a lot of discussion in G2G about how the computer is tagging profile sources with this same sort of situation. Which discussion I wish I had seen before now.

In the future I shall ignore Error 966 on Suggestions (for any and all surnames) since the computer has been demonstrated to be unreliable

The links always functioned. They were never bad links. The answer to this problem is that the links (according to WikiTree) should have brackets: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources#Web_page

"When citing a web page it's very important to include the full URL. Surrounding the URL with [brackets] makes it a link."
