George Lewis and Some of His Descendants

By William Arthur Owen

1. GEORGE1 LEWIS of Shelbourne Parish, Loudoun County, Virginia , died in 1807.   His will dated 2 July 1800 with a codicil dated 28 April 1807 was proven 14 Sept. 1807 and recorded in the Loudoun County Court records at Leesburg, Va.   It provides for disposition of real estate and personal property to his wife Mary; the children of his daughter Mary Evans; the children of his only son Lewis Lewis; his two minor daughters Sarah and Rachel Lewis; and to Thomas James, son of his wife by a former husband.  An inventory and appraisement of his personal property 18 Sept. 1807 is also recorded.   ln May 1769 George Lewis bought from David James 150 acres in Loudoun County, Va.,  for which he paid a sum of Pennsylvania money and which he died possessed of in 1807.  This land was described as located on the road from Leesburg to Sniggers Gap, (now Bluemont), and was conveyed in Feby. 1765 to David James of Chester County, Pa., by Thomas Humphrey, to whom it was conveyed by Jonas Potts, to whom it was granted in 1761 by patent from the proprietors for the Northern Neck of Virginia.  This land was assessed in the name of Mary Lewis in 1807 and in 1809 in the name of Mary Marmaduke.   She probably married Samson Marmaduke who died in 1809.   His will dated Feby 1809 and proven in April 1809 does not name a wife but was witnessed by Rachel Lewis.   In August 1812 William McFarling and his wife Rachel, the daughter of George Lewis, conveyed to Samuel Moore their interest in the estate of her father George Lewis as provided by his will.  Deed acknowledged in Culpeper County, Va.  In March 1814 Culpeper Marmaduke of Loudoun County, Va.,  leased to Samuel Moore, her son-in-law, her life interest in the plantation which she then occupied.  The records of Pendleton County, Ky. , show conveyances of land in that county in 1822, after the death of Lewis Lewis, by his heirs to his children in settlement of the amount which he received for them from the estate of their grandfather, George Lewis, as provided for in his will.  Mr. Samuel Lewis Moore living, (1923),  in Waterford, Loudoun County, Va., is a grandson of Sarah Lewis who married Samuel Moore and has an old Bible which contains some records of the family of Mary, the wife of George Lewis, who was his great-grandmother. In it are recorded the births of: Margaret James 1773, Jessy James 1775, Martha James 1777, Thomas James 1779 and David James 1783, who were apparently her children by a husband prior to her marriage to George Lewis; then is recorded the births of Sarah Lewis 1788 and Rachel Lewis 1790, who were her daughters by George Lewis.  In this Bible it is also recorded that Mary Humphry, mother of the five mentioned children, was born in 1795, which apparently refers to the mother of the five James children, indicating that her maiden name was Humphry, but, if so, there is apparently an error in copying the date 1795 which it seems might be 1745 instead.  From the information obtained it seems that George Lewis came to Loudoun County, Va., from Pennsylvania and probably from Chester County.  The tax lists of  Chester County show the name of a George Lewis in Vincent Township for the years 1765, 6, 7 & 8.  The Lewis’ were numerous in both Chester County, Pa., and Loudoun County, Va.,  during that time but he was not identified as related to any of whom a record was found, however the records examined contained little or no information for identifying the family of some who were there.  Many of  those of the name in Chester , Bucks and Philadelphia Counties, Pa. , were apparently Welsh Quakers, as to whose families the Quaker meeting records contained more or less information, also the records of Baptists and other denominations contained references to the name, but from these and other records examined, including abstracts of wills, etc., from the county records, his ancestry was not determined. He is not the George Lewis who lived in Loudoun County, Va., about the same time, whose wife was Violet Lewis and who was apparently a son of Vincent Lewis.  It seems probable that George Lewis was born about 1730, earlier or later, and that his wife Mary was not his first wife and not the mother of his oldest two children.

2.    i.    Mary2, b. 15 Sept. 1754 .

3. LEWIS2 LEWIS (George), born in Pennsylvania, probably Chester County, 1 Jan. 1756, moved to Virginia with his father who located in Loudoun County about 1769. His name appears on the tax lists of  Loudoun County from 1787 to 1812. In August 1787 the Commonwealth of Virginia granted to Lewis Lewis 233 acres of land in Campbell County, Va., which was sold and conveyed in 1851 by  his heirs to George W. Akers who married Nancy Davis, a niece of his wife, Elizabeth Evans (Lewis). The license and bond for the marriage of Lewis Lewis and Elizabeth Evans filed in the office of the cleric in Campbell County , Va. , is dated 15 Dec.1783 and signed by Lewis Lewis and Sampson Evans. She was born in Vincent Township, Chester County, Pa., 27 June 1759 or 1760 and  was a daughter Of Rees and Bridget Evans and a sister of Sampson Evans who married Mary Lewis.* About 1812 Lewis Lewis and his son George with their families moved from Loudoun County, Va. , to Kentucky and settled in Pendleton County , on the Ohio River , where Lewis Lewis acquired 500 acres of land on which was a log house that they lived in and which as remodeled and repaired was used as a residence by descendants until destroyed by fire about 1885. A new house was built on the site which is also marked by a cedar tree transplanted when they located there. A tradition is that they left Virginia intending to go to Indiana where some of the Hutchins' had located a few years before, but on account of Indian uprisings they stopped in Adams County, Ohio, for a season and were again stopped in Kentucky where they remained.  Lewis Lewis died 10 Sept. 1822 in his sixty-seventh year. She lived in the old home until in about her eighty-fourth year when due to a broken hip resulting from a fall she was re-moved to the home of her son George, near by.  She died 23 Jan. 1864 at the advanced age of 104 years. They were buried at the old graveyard at Flag Spring Baptist Church in Camp-bell County , Ky. , a few miles front their home. It is said that he was the first buried there.
