Fred Sheffield Jr.
Jeremiah is the surviving twin of Daniel Lewis and Nancy French Lewis. He was the surviving twin as mother and other twin died. He is the first of his family to move to Hamilton County, Illinois. He fought in the Blackhawk Indian War with the 1st Regiment, 1st Brigade, Illinois Mounted Volunteers. Jeremiah was a renown Regular Baptist minister (hardshell-presdestination-no missionaries-no music type). Jeremiah was a preacher and an elder at the Primitive Baptist Church and traveled throughout Southern Illinois preaching. He helped organize the Union Church between Raleigh and Galatia and was the preacher there about 1837. Jeremiah volunteered for the Mexican War about 1847 and sailed from Alton, Illinois to Tompico and fought overland to Mexico City. He was sick with malaria and jungle fever but served in all the battles that took place. Jeremiah, his wife Phoebe, and small daughter Dulcena died from cholera after drinking from a contaminated spring when returning from a church outing. All three died the same day. They left behind 7 minor children that went to live with their brother Moury Vickers Lewis.
