Note

Note: The Will of Thomas Lewis is recorded in the Fairfax County Courthouse, Fairfax, Virginia. His will does not list a son, as his son William Lewis, was born seven months after his death. His widow, Sara (or Sarah) entered a suit against Thomas Lewis, a nephew, for the property, as Thomas Lewis had willed his property to his nephew not knowing Sara was expecting a child. This is per Lucy Montgomery Smith Price, "Sydney-Smith and Clagett-Price Genealogy", page 177. She later wrote a letter to her sister, Eugenia Lewis Smith Brookfield (copied attached in the attached scrapbook) explaining this and urging Eugenia to submit affidavits to the Fairfax County Clerk to establish this so future genealogists won't think "we are all descended from a bastard!"

Note: Owned 325 acres in Kentucky.

Rented land on the Montgomery estate in Fauquier County. Built a log house and then a more elaborate home and called it "Mount Pleasant".
