Suggest that you check the wills of Louisa County, VA.
I believe that you will find that Mary Lewis was the
wife of Charles Atkisson (Atkinson). This suggests a
connection with the Atkinson Family of Essex County,
VA. I also believe that there is some controversy
about the parentage of Major John Lewis of Goochland
County. Some believe that he was not the son of
Joseph Lewis. Those of us who are descended from
Dudley and Presley Thornton Atkinson of King William
County are also confused about a connection with the
Lewis Family, since the name Mary Lewis was used
among their descendants. Could Major John Lewis of
Goochland have been the John Lewis of Spotsylvania,
who married Elizabeth, daughter of Presley Thornton?
Perhaps, he later married Mildred, daughter of
Robert Lewis of "Belvoir". If he was John Lewis
of Spotsylvania, he would have been a son of Fielding
Lewis and his first wife, Catherine Washington.
