Find A Grave Memorial# 78484876

Research by Judith Nan Lewis on Find a Grave Memorial 78484876.

Robert Lewis, Sr. is the son of John Lewis (1740 Halifax, Halifax, VA- 1830 Spotsylvania, Spotsylvania, VA) and Elizabeth (Lax) Lewis (Born 1745 Halifax, Halifax, VA)


Robert Lewis, Sr. married Sarah Cagle before 1810 in North Carolina.

Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis are listed in the 1810 census of Buncombe, North Carolina. They moved from Buncombe, North Carolina to Marion County, Tennessee by 1820, and are listed in the 1820 census of Warren Co., TN. They then moved to Marion County, Tennessee by 1830 and are listed in the 1830 census of Marion County TN.

Sometime in the mid to late 1830's, Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis, traveled from Marion County, TN down the Tennessee River on a flat bottom boat and docked at Fort Deposit, Alabama.

From Fort Deposit, Alabama, Robert Lewis, Sr. and his wife, Sarah Cagle Lewis, and their children made their way to a near by mountain and settled at the bottom of that mountain. They built their home, cultivated the land and raised their younger children there. Over a period of time, the family members of Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis accumlated and owned 3,000 acres of land, which made up the area of the mountain, upon which they had settled on. The Mountain was later named "Lewis Mountain" after Robert Lewis, Sr.

Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis had eight children together by their marriage:

(1.) John Lewis (1816 NC - Aft. 1880 TN), he married Elizabeth Wilcoxen.

(2.) Leonard L. Lewis (1818 NC-1897 Marshall Co.,AL)
Married 1st: Dec. 27, 1839; Marshall Co., AL

(3.) Henry Lewis (1820 TN -Aft. 1880 AL), he married 1st to Margaret Patterson on Aug 25, 1839 in Marshall Co., AL.; he married 2nd to Margaret Martha C. Key.

(4.) Charles L. Lewis (1823 TN - Oct. 28, 1888 TN), he married Julia Ann Henson.

(5.) Jacob Nathan Lewis (1826 TN - Aft. 1880 AL), he married 1st to Mary Whittenburg/he married 2nd to Elizabeth Emaline Hatfield.

(6.) Robert Lewis, Jr. (Nov 26, 1828 TN - 1868 AL), he married Mary Polly Whittenburg.

(7.) Margaret Lewis (born: 1832 TN - 1871 AL), she never married.

(8.) Katherine Lewis (1834 TN - 1914 TX), she married
Jacob "Jake" Whitenberg

Note: A careful study of all the census of Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis is suggested before adding any more children for them. On the early census where marks were made for other members in the household of Robert Lewis, there were no other marks for children other than those named above. While there were errors on some of their census (marks in wrong sex or age lines, the above children are the only children born to Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis, and they do fit in, while no other children will fit in and follow in a logical order through out all of their census.

The head and foot markers have been removed because it is used now as a cow pasture. There are five plus graves located here. I don't know who the other graves are, but I'm sure they are Lewises.
