Facts and Events
[edit] Lewis Family InformationAs one of the early settlers of the St. Louis area, James Walton was joined in marriage to Isabella Musick (1792-1861), who was also part of the progeny of a pioneering family. The ancestry of this family line in America begins with the arrival of John Lewis (1640-1726) from Wales. John mentions six children in his will, the fifth being David Lewis (1685-1779). David Lewis was born in Hanover County, Virginia in 1685. With his first wife, Ann Terrell, David Lewis had 8 children named William Terrell (b. 1718), Susannah (b.1720), Sarah (1724-1800), Hannah (b. 1722), David (b. 1726), John (b. 1728), Joel (b. 1730, and Anna (b. 1733). David Lewis became one of the first to settle Albemarle County, Virginia when in 1734, he was granted land in the region. In 1746, the County Militia was organized and among its members was listed Captain David Lewis. It is unclear, however, if the County Militia list is referring to David Lewis Sr. (1685-1779) or David Lewis Jr. (b.1726). There is again confusion as to their military service record during the Revolutionary War. Official records show that David Lewis served in the Revolutionary War but again it is unclear whether father or son took up arms. Due to his advancing years, it is probable that the records reflect the service of the younger Lewis in which case, Cyrene Clemens Walton is not a direct descendent of a Revolutionary War Soldier by this ancestral line. Cyrene was descended through Sarah Lewis, third child born to David Lewis (1685-1779) and his first wife, Ann.
