Lewis Farley was the son of James Farley and Nancy Harvey of Virginia, who later died in Hamilton County, Indiana and are buried at the Farley Cemetery, near Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana.
His grandfather was Captain Mathew "Matt" Farley, a scout in the Revolutionary War and early settler in Indiana and Lewis' grandmother was Esther McMullen.
In 1850 Lewis was found with his wife, Mary (Lanham) and son Hutson, living in Noblesville township, Hamilton county, Indiana. His wife Mary died January 20, 1859 in Hamilton County, Indiana and is also buried in the Farley Cemetery.

Lewis and his family moved to the area of Lawrence Kansas in the mid 1850's. This was a hotbed of pre-Civil War violence. They were eventually forced to return to Indiana for the family's safety.
Lewis served as a ferrier (blacksmith) with Company G, 3rd Indiana Cavalry during the Civil War.
