Excerpted from Lewis of Warner Hall by Merrow Egerton Sorley

Gen Robert Lewis was born in Brecon, Wales, about 1605. He married in 1630 emigrated in 1635. His son John was born in Monmouthshire, Wales, which is the adjoining county just south of Brecon. His son William, known as Maj. William Lewis, bought the 2600 acre New Kent County plantation, "Chemokins", from Col. John West on January 20, 1656

Robert Lewis' wife, Mary, had two children by a previous marriage to a Mr. Jones — a son Henry and a daughter Ann, who married a Mr. Holman. When Henry Jones died without issue, he left his estate to his half-sisters Mary and Alice Lewis and Ann Holman.

On September 30, 1656, a court for York County was held at the house of Col. Nathaniel Bacon for the auditing and perfecting of the accounts of Robert Lewis, deceased - the accounts kept by Capt. Ralph Langley, who had married Robert Lewis' widow, "administratrix Mary Lewis". At this court, guardians were appointed for two minor children of Robert Lewis, though nothing is said in the records about any children who may have attained majority. The two minor children were Mary Lewis (who was made a ward of Capt. Ralph Langley, her stepfather), and Alice Lewis (who was given into the care of Capt. Thomas Ramsey). At the same time, the court settled on these children, 500 acres of land on Poropotank Creek, in Gloucester County, which Robert Lewis had purchased of one John King
