!NOTES:"A History of Marion County, South Carolina", W. W. Sellers, 1902. pp 480-483 covers the Lewis family. An extract from pp 480-481:
"Lewis.-This family were from Ireland, and settled in Virginia. A son of this family, named William, came to South Carolina before the Revolution; he married Miss Mourning Vampelt, a Hollander. Tradition informs us that her father and she came from Holland together, leaving his family in Holland; they came, as it seems, prospecting, and got down into South Carolina, where they met up with William Lewis, and soon an attachment (mutual) sprang up between the two young people, and they got married; whereupon old man Vampelt went back to Holland for his family, and was never afterwards heard of. William Lewis settled in Horry County ; they had and raised seven sons and two daughters ; the sons were William, James, Isaac, Hardy, Joel, Jonathan and Patrick; the girls were Polly and Zilpha. Of these, Polly married Averitt Nichols, of Columbus County, N. C, and was the mother of the late venerable Averitt Nichols, of Nichols, S. C. The other daughter, Zilpha, married William Gerald, of Horry. Of the sons, Hardy, Joel and Jonathan settled in Marion County Hardy on Little Pee Dee, below Gilchrist's Bridge, Joel and Jonathan higher up the river, on the south side, near where Miller's Church now stands ; and James at Allen's Bridge."

!NOTES:"A History of Marion County, South Carolina", W. W. Sellers, 1902. pp 481-483:
"Jonathan Lewis, brother of old Hardy, married, first. Susannah Porter, of Columbus County, N. C. ; by her he had two children, one son, Evan, and one daughter, Pennsy or Pennsylvania; his second wife was Feraiba Strickland, and by her he had two sons, William S. and Joel. Of the children by the first marriage, Evan Eewis married Miss Margaret Cribb, and by the marriage had two sons, Jonathan and Dempsy, and two daughters, Carrie and Adaline, called Addie. Of the daughters, Carrie Eewis married Dr. F. M. Monroe, of the Latta section; by this marriage several children were born. Addie, the younger daughter, married Oliver Williams, of North Carolina; they have two sons. Of the sons of Evan Lewis, the eldest, Jonathan, has never married—a young man about fifty years of age, of good habits and morals, a well-to- do, good citizen and reliable every way. Why he has not married and made some good woman happy, is a mystery, which, perhaps, will never be solved! Dempsy Lewis, the younger brother, married in early life. Miss Eliza Jane Stackhouse, daughter of the late Mastin C. Stackhouse ; they have ten chil- dren, eight sons and two daughters ; the sons are Taylor, Leon, Marvin, Victor—these are grown ; four others, Odell, Rupert, Evan and Ernest — these are not grown; the two daughters, Maggie and Addie, near grown—not one of the ten children married ; he is a good man and substantial citizen. William S. Lewis, by old Jonathan's second marriage, married Miss Rhoda Mace (both now dead) ; they had five children, Sarah, W. Evan, Anne, Joel J. and J. Wesley. Sarah married Robert Edwards ; had two sons, Sandy and George ; the father is dead. The two sons went to Arkansas ; Sandy is dead ; George is in Texarkana, and is Sheriff of that county or the one in which that city is located, and is well to do. W. Evan is on the old homestead, married a Miss Avant, and has some family (young) ; is a good citizen. Anne married, first, Marion Avant; by whom she had one son, Willie, who grew up to manhood and died—a very promising young man ; his mother, the widow, married again John A. Wilson, of Wilmington, N. C, and is, as it is said, doing well. Joel and Wesley went West; Joel is said to be doing well in New Orleans. Pennsy, the only daughter of old Jonathan Lewis, and full sister of Evan Lewis, married, first, Angus Carmichael, and by him she had one child, a daughter, who grew up and married John W. Norton, as hereinbefore stated in or among the Norton family ; Pennsy, the widow, then married John Norton, the father of Hon. James Norton, and who has already been noticed among the Norton family. Evan Lewis was a capital man and good citizen— a useful man in his day ; was a good surveyor —plats, made by him, are now to be seen often, and bear the scrutiny of the Courts. He was opposed to the Confederate War, but had the good sense to keep his mouth shut, and to "stand to one side and let the procession pass by."
