Here is what they show for Lewis:
You'd have to trace the whereabouts of the 4th Virginia Regiment to see if the bio above is factual. According to Wikipedia it appears correct (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4th_Virginia_Regiment).
Lewis was granted 100 acres on 17 Nov 1794 for his service (Land Warrant 11866- on Fold3.com at https://www.fold3.com/image/11143693). There is a single reference card on Fold3 that mentions the 8th Virginia Regiment and to also look at the 3rd and 4th Regiments so it's possible he served with more than one unit. If he did, proving dates would be critical to knowing which battles he actually fought in. The only pension folder I located showed a Lewis Adkins from Henry County, WV who served in North Carolina but the pension started on 4 Mar 1831, after this Lewis passed away.
I'm really not sure if any of this helps?

Research needs to separate these two Lewis'.
They have sound logic and while most of applies to another Lewis, it does contain information on this Lewis and explains who is who.
