I read that as :
The grandson, John Donald was the principal legatee.

Just a bit more information about the distribution of Daniel Lewis' estate.
His grandson John Donald Lewis died young in 1889, and therefore did not inherit.

See Melbourne Argus

15 Imperial Arcade, Sydney, and Woolwich, are respectfully invited to attend his Funeral, which will move from 810 George-street, Sydney,
THIS (Thursday) AFTERNOON, at 2.30, for Waverley Cemetery.


If you are interested in pursuing when father and son, Daniel and John Lewis immigrated to Australia, I would suggest you look at death certificates, which would give “time spent in colony”.
This will give you a time frame to look for shipping lists. I would expect they were “un-assisted” immigrants.


Southern Cross, since you haven’t replied to your thread, we don’t know whether the numerous responses have been helpful.
Without interaction from you, I think we have reached a dead end.
