Sophia Melinda Lewis, daughter of Mourning Mills, was born in 1801, married General Phillip Brittain of Henderson County, North Carolina. General Brittain was a soldier in the War of 1812, and represented Buncombe County in the house in 1810, 1811, 1816, 1817, 1818 and as senator in 1823 and 1824. (See Wheeler's History of North Carolina, page fifty-four). General Brittain was a man of strong mind and constitution, and represented his constituents in various offices. While in the legislature, perhaps his last time, Henderson County was formed and received its name at his suggestion, after old General Henderson, who died a worthy citizen of the state.

Their children were; Philip, who died single; Stanhope, residing at Hendersonville, North Carolina, who served as captain of the Home Guards in the War of 1861; Mourning Mills, who married Dr. Joseph Blackstock, and died in Arkansas about 1877, leaving three children; Attilla Delila, who married William Henry, and died in 1860, in Henderson County, North Carolina, leaving four children; James, who died single; Benjamin, residing at Hendersonville, North Carolina, who served as a lieutenant in the Confederate War; Laura H., who married Goodson Carie of Henderson County, North Carolina; Emma Eugenia, who married Morris Allison of Boylston, but had no children; Rebecca, who married Millard G.
