About Thomas Walker Lewis, Jr.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Lewis,_Jr.
Thomas Lewis, Jr. (January 26, 1760 – 1847) was an American politician from Rockingham County, Virginia. He represented Virginia in the U.S. House in 1803 and 1804. Thomas Jr. was the son of Thomas and Jane (Strother) Lewis and was born on his father's plantation of Lynwood in what was then Augusta County.
Although he served nearly a year in Congress, his election had been contested by Andrew Moore. After some consideration in a committee, the House voted on March 5, 1804 to declare his election invalid and awarded his seat to Moore.
Electoral history
1803 - Lewis was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives with 47.03% of the vote, defeating fellow Federalist John Woodward and Democrat-Republican Andrew Moore; Moore successfully contested the result though, and was seated.
