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. The author, John W. Lewis (1809-1861) was a fellow Free-Will Baptist minister, associated, beginning around 1843, with the adventism of William Miller - one of few African American adherents to the Millerite movement.
