Francis Lewis's Birth Card: The 2 of Diamonds

In the record

The 2 of Diamonds coordinate

Francis Lewis's birthday maps to the 2 of Diamonds (The Financial Partner). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about the Declaration and not a verdict on Francis Lewis. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You name the exchange out loud and keep it fair for both sides.

Francis Lewis in the public record

He was a signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation as a representative of New York in the Continental Congress. Lewis was born in Llandaff, Wales, on March 21, 1713. He was the son of Morgan Lewis and Anne Lewis (née Pettingale) of Newport. Lewis was educated at Westminster School in London. Lewis entered a mercantile house in London until he turned 21 and inherited some properties left by his father. Lewis sold the properties and used the proceeds to acquire merchandise, set sail for New York City, arriving there in about 1737. He left some of the goods in New York to be sold by Edward Annesley, his business partner, and brought the rest to Philadelphia. After two years in Philadelphia, he returned to New York.
