Elizabeth 'Betty' Lewis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Washington_Lewis

Elizabeth "Betty" Washington Lewis (June 20, 1733 – March 31, 1797) was the younger sister of George Washington and the only sister to live to adulthood. She was the first daughter of Augustine Washington and Mary Ball Washington. She is considered a "founding mother" of America.

She was born Elizabeth Washington in Westmoreland County, Virginia and married Fielding Lewis in 1750. Their children included Lawrence Lewis, who married Eleanor Parke Custis, a granddaughter of Martha Washington, and Robert Lewis. They built a house in Fredericksburg, Kenmore House, in 1752. In 1784, shortly after the end of the Revolutionary War, Lewis had a chat with her older brother about issues of the day, which resonate with today.[2]

In later life, she stayed close with her mother, eventually, after Fielding died, moving in with her. She died in 1797 while visiting her daughter, Betty Lewis Carter at the Western View Plantation in Culpeper, Virginia, and is buried there.

She and her husband are commemorated with street names in the nearby Ferry Farm subdivision (Fielding Circle and Betty Lewis Drive).

Fielding Lewis married Catharine Washington on October 18, 1746. She was his second cousin, the daughter of John Washington (an uncle of George Washington) and Catharine Whiting. Before his wife's death on February 19, 1750, they were the parents of three children, including:[6]

• John Lewis (1747–1825)

A few months later, on May 7, 1750, Lewis married Betty Washington (1733-1797), the sister of George Washington and another second cousin. She was 17 years old.[7]

They had 11 children together, including:[8]

1. Fielding Lewis, Jr. (1751–1803), who married Anne Alexander and, after her death, Nancy Alexander. He had issue by both wives.
2. Augustine Lewis (1752–1756), who died as a child.
3. Warner Lewis (1755–1756), who died in infancy.
4. George Washington Lewis (1757–1831), who married Catherine Daingerfield, had issue (grandparents of Princess Catherine Murat).
5. Mary Lewis (1759–1759), who died in infancy.
6. Charles Lewis (1760–1793)
7. Samuel Lewis (1762–1810)[citation needed] [SIC: died 1763]
8. Elizabeth Lewis (1765–1830), who married distant cousin Charles Carter, had issue.
9. Lawrence Lewis (1767–1839), who married step-cousin Eleanor Parke Custis (George Washington's step-granddaughter) and had issue.
10. Robert Lewis (1769–1829), who married cousin Judith Carter Browne and had issue.
11. Howell Lewis Sr. (1771–1822), who married Ellen Hackley Pollard and, after her death, Henry Howell Lewis. He had issue by his first wife.

Lewis died in Fredericksburg in 1781 at the end of the Revolutionary War. Before her death in 1789, Mary Washington asked to be buried at her favorite spot at Kenmore, and her daughter Betty arranged for that. Betty outlived Lewis by 16 years, dying in 1797.[9]

Listed as "my sister Lewis" in the will of her half-brother, Augustine Washington.
