!NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

Among the callers at the REGISTER office the past week was our venerable friend, 'Uncle Bobbie' Lewis of Sabula. Despite his advanced years, Mr. Lewis is still quite active and is enjoying fairly good health. May he reach the century mark. (IRON COUNTY REGISTER newspaper... Ironton, Iron County, MD...Nov. 10, 1898)

!OBITUARY

Word was received in Ironton last Thursday morning of the death of 'Uncle Robby' Lewis, which occurred at his home, near Sabula, the night before at the age of 85 years. The death of Mr. Lewis marks the passing of another of the pioneers. Nearly sixty years ago he located in what is now Iron County and lived there until his death.

Eleven children, sixty grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren survive him. The total number of children and grandchildren is 132, but a number of these are dead. Surely, a retty large family. The remains were interred in the cemetery near Sabula Friday and a large concourse was present. A good man has gone. Peace to his ashes.

!OBITUARY

Robert Lewis was born February 9, 1827 in Marion Co. Tenn., and died March 3, 1912 being 85 years, 1 month, and 4 days old.

He was married to Mary Griffith July 30, 1851. He moved to Carrol Co.Ark., and in the fall of the same year moved to Iron Co. No.; then to Madison Co. about 1855 or 1856. Sixteen children were born to this union; eleven are now living. (1912) He had 60 grandchildren , 32 great grandchildren alive, and some dead. Total living and dead are 132.

His last years were spent in much suffering. We are taught that through suffering we are made perfect. His words to his grandson are our consolation: He was asked of the future and he said, 'My business here is finished, Tom, I'm waiting on the Lord; letting him use me. I am ready to go.'

Cheer up dear mother and children; all was done that you could do. Now let's be submissive to the will of Him that doeth all things well. 8y and by we will go too.

OBITUARY OF MARY (POLLY) LEWIS
APRIL 5, 1916

Mary, commonly known as Polly Lewis, was born in Tenn. June 15, 1831. Her maiden name was 6riffith. She was married to Robert Lewis in Tenn. They moved to Arkansas, then to Missouri, settled on Carver Creek 2 1/2 miles frog Sabula, in 1852. She departed this life April 5, 1916, aged 84 years, 9 months, and 20 days. She was the mother of 16 children, of whom 11 are living, 67 grandchildren, 44 great grandchildren.

She was a member of the United Baptist church at Big Creek for almost half century. The remains were laid to rest by the side of her husband in the Emily Chapel burying grounds to await the raising of the just. Elder John Proffit preached the funeral services, with Elder J. R. Singleton concluding.

Being feeble for the past several months yet cheerful, we expected a sudden departure, but not as it was. Working all day at her carpet rags, eating a hearty supper and going to bed as usual. The old home was wrapped in darkness and slumber with its four occupants. In the first hour of the new day about 1 o'clock the summons came. '0, Lord' in a voice as of prayer, came from the bedroom and aroused the vigilant daughter. In a very few moments that spirit who had known it's tenement of clay and went to Godwho gave it.

Now we are satisfied, not because mother is gone, but because we know where she has gone. Rest and rejoice thou weary mother, until we come! We know she can't come to us, but we can go to her. And now may the father of light keep unto the hollow of hand this brother and sisters hand as a peaceful and loving family is the earnest prayer of this

ALLIED LEWIS FAMILIES
; ; The Lewis families of Madison, Iron, and Reynolds Counties are a prolific clan, which I could not cover in a whole book, let alone a few pages, but I do have some points I would like to make. ; In 1850 Madison County census, there were 5 families, three of which lived next door to each other that I feel must have been related as mentioned previously. ; The other two I'm not certain of were Furney Lewis, born N.C., age 31, who had married Nancy Perringer in 1838, Madison County and had four children, John, 10, Amanda 7, Leonard 6, and Martha 1 in the 1850 census. ; The other was John Lewis, 41 from S.C., wife Caroline 20, Laura 2, and John L. 5 mo. ; I make this point because each had a son John that will later be important. ; The two families that were: ; #496-Jacob Lewis-45-born N.C., Sarah 17 TN, Bidda 15, TN, Martha E. 13, Eli, 11, John Y., 9, & Catherine 7, all born TN, Hugh P. 5, Polly Ann 4, James Millow, 2, and Emiline 3 mo. ; There was also Eliza J. 10, born TN, who belonged to Jacob but w
In 1860 Iron County census I found: ; the John Lewis from SC, who married Caroline, Robert Lewis, the son of Georg who had been in Arkansas, next door to him was John and Emiline Lewis, and next to them was Benjamin Lewis, son of George also. ; ; Close bywas John Lewis, Jr. (son of George) and wife Nancy, and closer to Annapolis was William Lewis (son of George also) and finally Elizabeth Lewis, widow of George. ; I did not find David Lewis (who had been in 1850 Madison County census) nor his family again, but early land plats show David Lewis and Oliver Lewis (his son) owning land right near John, George and all the other Lewises.
Other Lewis researchers in Missouri have mistakingly assumed that John (who married Emiline Dunn) was the son of George, even though they found the two John's listed on the same census. ; I am referring here to the one listed as John Jr. who was 26 in the1860 census, wife Nancy, 25, Delia, 8, George, 6, James, 4, and Benjamin, 8 mo. Who was the real son of George, and was in Marion County TN in 1850. ; Although there was a definite relationship between George and John (who married Emiline), they were notfather and son, but brothers. ; I will concentrate now on George's son Robert, who has family connections with mine, but will first list all of George's children and who they married.
1. Mary, married James Hale and stayed in TN.
2. Catherine, married Robinson Griffith and stayed in Arkansas.
3. Robert, married Mary 'Polly' Griffith, and was in Arkansas before coming to Missouri.
4. Benjamin, married Oma Hewitt (He was in MO in 1850).
5. John (listed as Jr.), married Nancy ___?____.
6. William, married Abigail Johnson.
7. Martha 'Patty', married James Casteel.

in a whole book, let alone a few pages, but I do have some points I would like to make.
In 1850 Madison County census, there were 5 families, three of which lived next door to each other that I feel
must have been related as mentioned previously. The other two I'm not certain of were Furney Lewis, born N.C.,
age 31, who had married Nancy Perringer in 1838, Madison County and had four children, John, 10, Amanda 7, Leonard 6,
and Martha 1 in the 1850 census. The other was John Lewis, 41 from S.C., wife Caroline 20, Laura 2, and John L. 5 mo.
I make this point because each had a son John that will later be important. The two families that were: #496-Jacob
Lewis-45-born N.C., Sarah 17 TN, Bidda 15, TN, Martha E. 13, Eli, 11, John Y., 9, & Catherine 7, all born TN, Hugh P. 5,
Polly Ann 4, James Millow, 2, and Emiline 3 mo. There was also Eliza J. 10, born TN, who belonged to Jacob but was in
John and Emiline's house; they had only been married in 1842, so couldn't have had a 10 year old child.
John & Emiline were #497, his age 30, born TN, she was 25, SC, with three sons: Eli, 6, MO, Levi 4, TN, and Libe 2, MO
(This should have been Robert, Leroy, and Eli.) #498-David Lewis, 35, NC, Nancy 35, KY, Oliver 10, TN, George 8, Alabama,
, Becky Ann, 6, MO, Mary 4, and J.B. & P.R. 5 mo. Old twins, all MO. George Lewis, who I think was also a brother,
was in Marion Co. TN (which was where John was from also) in 1850. His family: George Lewis , 48, Elizabeth, 47, John,
21, William, 16, Martha, 13, George, 11, Elizabeth, 9, Andrew, 6, and James, 4. There was also a son, Robert,
married and in Arkansas, two doughters, Mary and Catherine, both married, and 24 year old Ben, who was stayong with
Elihu Dunn and his wife Maria, in Madison Co., MO.
Toward the latter part of the 1850's, George and Elizabeth came to Missouri,
and settled at the mouth of Carver Creek, and one more child was born in Missouri.
George bought land from John and Emiline, and he died before 1860.

In 1860 Iron County census I found: the John Lewis from SC, who married Caroline, Robert Lewis, the son of Georg
who hac been in Arkansas, next door to him was John and Emiline Lewis, and next to them was Benjamin Lewis, son of
George also. Close by was John Lewis, Jr. (son of George) and wife Nancy, and closer to Annapolis was William Lewis
(son of George also) and finally Elizabeth Lewis, widow of George. I did not find David Lewis (who had been in 1850
Madison County census) nor his family again, but early land plats show David Lewis and Oliver Lewis (his son) owning
land right near John, George and all the other Lewises.

Other Lewis researchers in Missouri have mistakingly assumed that John (who married Emiline Dunn) was the son of George,
even though they found the two John's listed on the same census. I am referring here to the one listed as John Jr. who
was 26 in the 1660 census, wife Nancy, 25, Delia, 8, George, 6, James, 4, and Benjamin, 8 mo. Who was the real son of
George, and was in Marion County TN in 1850. Although there was a definite relationship between George and John
(who married Emiline), they were not father and son, but brothers. I will concentrate now on George's son Robert,
who has family connections with mine, but will first list all of George's children and who they married.

1. Mary, married James Hale and stayed in TN.
2. Catherine, married Robinson Griffith and stayed in Arkansas.
3. Robert, married Mary 'Polly' Griffith, and was in Arkansas before coming to Missouri.
4. Benjamin, married Oma Hewitt (He was in MO in 1850).
5. John (listed as Jr.), married Nancy ___?____.
6. William, married Abigail Johnson.
7. Martha 'Patty', married James Casteel.
8. Elizabeth married Thomas Jackson.
9. Andrew, married Angeline Rose.
10. James married Lucinda Wallis.
11. Hepsi, married William Ruble.
