Lewises Meriwethers and Their Kin

Given the extent of the intermarriages between the Lewis family and the first families of Virginia it is probable that this family has produced a greater proportion of eminent statesmen soldiers and frontiersmen than any family in America. Unlike Sorley's Lewis of Warner Hall Mrs. Anderson's book focuses attention on six Lewis families in America before 1740: the Warner Hall Lewises of course; four John Lewises (of Hanover Henrico Donegal and Shenandoah); and Zachary Lewis the latter being an especially detailed history.
