... "Micajah Lewis, who descended from Welsh ancestors, was born in Albemarle County, Virginia, in 1755 ; and early relocated to what subsequently became Surry County, North Carolina. He was appointed a Lieutenant in 1776, and was a Captain in service in 1778. He joined General Lincoln in 1779, and shared in the battle of Stono ; and, in June 1780, he went in pursuit of Bryan's Tories, and was a Major and Quarter Master in Cleveland's regiment on the King's Mountain campaign, receiving a wound in the battle. He served as a volunteer at Pyle's defeat, February twenty-fifth, 1781 ; and, two days afterwards, while out reconnoitering, he was mortally wounded, dying the next day, and was buried at Dickey's plantation, on the Alamance. He had rendered service in the North Carolina line, and was, as General Joseph Graluun states, " a real soldier," of "past service and experience." Joel Lewis was born in Albemarle County, Virginia, August twenty-eighth, 1760; early settled in Surry County; commanded a company at King's Mountain, said to have embraced among its members twenty-two of his own family connections. A colored free man, named Bowman, of his company, claimed to have killed Ferguson ; and Captain Lewis secured some of the British commander's arms - one a jewel-hilted poniard, which he retained many years. He married Miriam Eastham, and had eighteen children. In 1784, he was chosen to represent Surry in the House of Commons ; and, in 1793, he removed to Nashville, Tennessee, where he was an early hotel-keeper. In 1796, he was a member of the Convention that formed the first Constitution of Tennessee, and was the same year, and again in 1799, elected a State Senator. He held other public positions ; and died, near Nashville, November twenty-second, 1816. He left many worthy descendants. His younger brother, James Martin Lewis, born in 1762, who was a Lieutenant at King's Mountain, married Mary, daughter of Colonel Benjamin Herndon, and died at Columbia, Tennessee, in 1830. It is not a little singular, that the three brothers, Micajah, Joel, and James M. Lewis, were all officers, and were all wounded at King's Mountain." ...
