From William Terrell Lewis' published family history:

Jesse Pitman Lewis, son of John and his wife, Sarah Taliaferro, of Albemarle county, Virginia, was born in 1763 in Albemarle county, about one mile west of Charlottesville. In 1786 he married Nancy Clarkson, daughter of Manoah Clarkson, three miles south of Charlottesville. Nancy Clarkson was born in 1764.

Jesse P. Lewis was about six feet in stature, weighing about one hundred and eighty pounds, with blue eyes and light hair. He was a blacksmith by trade and also a farmer He inherited the homestead of his father, to which he added many acres during his life. On the top of a brick house which he had erected was a fish-pond well-stocked with fish. His house, by some accident, caught fire and consumed his fish-pond. This is the first instance that we have on record of a fish-pond being burnt up. He served two tours in the Revolutionary war, part of his time under Baron Stuben. He was in all the principal battles fought in Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and, finally, witnessed the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown.

After his death, which occurred on the 8th of March, 1849, the following tribute of respect was paid to his memory by the editor of the Charlottesville Republican:

ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER GONE. Died at his residence in Albemarle county, Virginia, on Thursday last, March 8, 1849, Mr. Jesse P. Lewis, in the eighty-sixth year of his age. Mr. Lewis was born May 13, 1763, and at the age of sixteen entered the Revolutionary Army in aid of his country's cause and to defend her with his life, if necessary, against the insolence and oppression of the mother country. Having served out his time of enlistment, he returned home to the quiet pursuits of civil life. A requisition for more troops being made, and some of those who were drafted from the militia expressing an unwillingness to go, Mr. Lewis stepped forth and volunteered in the place of one of them, and in this tour he was present at the ever-memorable siege of Yorktown. On the 13th of April, 1786, he was married to Miss Nancy Clarkson, who survives him and with whom he lived happily for nearly sixty-three years. Their descendants to the fifth generation reside in the county and are among our most substantial citizens. It is the good fortune of few to live to the age of Mr. L., and fewer still who live to enjoy the confidence, respect and esteem of the whole community.

A gentleman who had known Mr. L. and his wife for sixty years remarked that he had never heard an individual speak an unkind word of either of them. Mr. L. exemplified the true meaning of "Virginia hospitality ;" the utmost stranger as well as any of his neighbors were received and hospitably entertained at his mansion; the poor were made participants of his bounty, and none were ever sent away empty from his doors; his servants were treated with kindness and humanity, and in all the relations of life, as husband, father, master, citizen, neighbor or friend he was exemplary and correct.

Mr. L. was from his earliest youth a zealous Republican, and such he continued to the end of life. Mr. Jefferson, on one occasion passing his residence, remarked to a friend: "That in such men as Jesse Lewis consisted a nation's safety."

He is now gone to reap his reward in another and a better world, as he gave good evidence that his peace was made with his Maker, and trusted in the merits of a crucified redeemer for salvation. Peace to his ashes!

Let the rising generation imitate his example, and long will the blessings, which he aided in securing to our common country, remain as beacons for all mankind.

His remains were inhumed at the old homestead, one mile west of the University of Virginia, where he was born, raised and had spent his life.

The place is now owned by one of the Randolph family, where his tomb, enclosed with a stone wall, can be found with the following inscription upon it:

The following tribute of respect to the memory of John T. Barksdale, was published in a Charlottesville paper April 11, 1879:

John T. Barksdale, long and favorably known in our community and1 county, departed this life on the morning of the 8th inst. in the sixty-seventhi year of his age. It was his province to fill within the last half century many and varied positions and functions of public and private confidence and trust, and he has closed his days on earth without a suspicion of his failure in any respect to do his duty in them all to the utmost of his opportunities and ability. He was the son of Nelson Barksdale and the grandson of Jesse Lewis, and from them inherited a large share of the manly virtues which adorned and dignified their most useful and honored lives. Faithful in the discharge of all obligations, whether voluntarily assumed or providentially devolved upon him, fidelity was the rigid and uncompromising rule of his life. General and liberal benefactions to the utmost of his means were the delight of his days; courteous, civil and conciliatory in all his daily intercourse with his fellow-men. He made no enemies, and many friends; free and open in his hospitality to the worthy and true. He was seriously affected when increasing infirmities of age and disease rendered it proper that he should exchange his commodious home for one of more modest pretensions. Among his virtues conspicuous was his respect and reverence for intelligence, merit and moral character. And it may be truly said of him that he was an honest and truthful man, and a sincere, firm and faithful friend.

PI. Benjamin Johnson, son of Michael, was born in 1817; married Mary E. Moore, of North Garden, in Albemarle county, where he died in 1857, leaving five children, viz.: G 1, Sallie; G 2, Lewis; G 3, Mollie, G 4, Fannie, and G 5, Martha.

During the Confederate war she spent her time at the hospital in Charlottesville waiting on the sick and wounded soldiers. She is kindly and gratefully remembered by Southern soldiers, and only spoken of in the most exalted terms of commendation and praise by those who were so unfortunate as to be confined in the hospital at Charlottesville. Untiringly, like a ministering angel, did she attend to and supply their daily wants, while her own home and interest were entirely neglected for that of the soldiers. It was to her kind office and ministering care that many a poor soldier was rescued from a premature grave and enabled to return to his home. Nor were the recipients of her kind favors unmindful of her generosity; for with a bountiful hand did "many a soldier, his mother or sisters bestow upon her their largesses as a manifestation of their gratitude and as a memento of their kindest regards and friendship.

F 5. Mary A. Johnson, married a Mr. A. M. Bruce and resides in Staunton, Augusta county, Va.

E 5. Sarah Taliaferro Lewis, daughter of Jesse P., was born 1800, and married Major Alexander St. C. Heiskell, had five children and died in Albemarle county in 1831. Her relic was inhumed in the graveyard at her father's mansion-house. The following is a copy of the epitaph on her monument:

• : IN MEMORY OF
• SARAH TALIAFERRO,
• j Wife of Alexander St. C Heiskell and j
• i daughter of Jesse and Nancy.Lewis,;
• i Born December 16, 1800, and departed i
• j this life July 30, 1831. j
• Having done her duty as a child, a!
• | mother and a wife, she was beloved in l
• i life; in death lamented. i

Some years after the death of his wife Major Heiskell returned to Maryland, married his second wife, by whom he had two or three children, and died there in 1851.

The following are the names of his children by his first wife, Sarah Taliaferro Lewis, viz.:

F 1. Jesse Lewis Heiskell, was, at different times, a stage contractor, merchant, farmer, etc. He married Elonora Martin, residing some four or five miles west of Charlottesville, Va. From this union there was no offspring. He left Charlottesville and settled on a farm in what is known as "South Garden," in Albemarle county. His post-ofHce was "Cross Roads." Jesse L. Heiskell was one of the finest-looking men in Albemarle county. He was about five feet eight inches in stature, weighing about one hundred and sixty pounds, with ruddy complexion, <dark hair and blue eyes. In his manners he was complaisant, courteous and conciliating, with a nobleness of soul, elevated sentiments, liberal and magnanimous. We copy from the Blue Ridge Herald, of July 26, 1861—a paper published at Walhalla, S. C.—which speaks for itself: PLEASING INCIDENT. We find the subjoined in the Charlottesville Review, and agree with our •contemporary that such instances of generous regard for the defenders of ■our soil ought not to pass unnoticed. Says the Review: A circumstance connected with the recent passage of the Lynchburg ■and Bedford troops through this country is so honorable to one of our citizens that it deserves a public notice. The night before reaching Charlottesville, the squadron arrived about dark, at the place which had been selected for their encampment. They found that the choice had been singularly unfortunate. The inequalities of the surface did not allow them to raise their tents—no food nor forage had been provided, and a heavy rain was falling. Jaded and disheartened, the officers and men threw themselves on the ground, and lying all night in the mud and rain, prepared at day-break to resume their march. As they were in the act of moving forward, Mr. Jesse Lewis Heiskell rode up and stating that he lived near the road some miles ahead, invited them to stop and take breakfast at his house. Having had nothing to eat since noon the previous day, they gladly consented, and the reception they met with may best be given in the words of an officer who related it. "A few minutes after we arrived at Mr. Heiskell's residence breakfast was announced, and I was directed by the Commander to carry the men to the table in successive squads of thirty-five. It would be doing great injustice to the entertainment if I contented myself with saying that it was a sufficient, or even a comfortable, meal. It was a bountiful feast—the abundance, variety and excellence of the fare left nothing literally to be desired. If, after ample time for preparation, a select party of friends had partaken of Mr. Heiskell's hospitality, it would not have been possible either to have furnished them a finer breakfast, to serve it in a neater style, or to dispense the honors with greater courtesy and cordiality. Guess my amazement when I found that this was repeated with each detachment. Nothing Tell short—but in every particular, coffee, tea, cream, milk, fresh butter, different kinds of bread, meat, preserves—the last squad fared as well as the first. "While thus entertaining one hundred and sixty-five men he fed all our horses—one hundred and eighty in number, and made us load our wagon with provender for them to eat at noon. "Mr. Heiskell's kindness would have been gratefully received under any circumstances, and his munificent generosity properly appreciated. But no one can tell how acceptable it was nor how thankful we felt, unless he had shared our experience—had slept supperless in the rain—and then, hungry, wet and stiffened, resumed his march." All honor to Mr. Heiskell!

Jesse L. Heiskell died in Albemarle county, Virginia, without issue, in 1876.

F 2. Susan Ann Heiskell, daughter of Alex. St. Clair, married George Craven, son of John Craven, by his first wife. She died on the Rivanna river, near Charlottesville, Va., in 1867, her husband having died in 1852, leaving four children, viz.:

A. Hill, his cousin, in Prince George county, Maryland, where he afterward settled on a farm. His post-office is Oxen Hill, Prince George county, Md. Their children are, viz:
