We don't have an exact date of birth for James LEWIS, just that he was in the 1790, first United States census in South Carolina's Chester District. He is still there in 1800. In 1810 he is in Mecklenberg,North Carolina census. This is information provided us by Joyce Reece, a licensed genealogist & cousin by marriage to the Lewis family. Samuel Lewis was born in 1801 NC, according to the 1850 census Evansville, Washington Co, Ark.
James LEWIS,Samuel LEWIS and Bricie LITTLE/HOLT Lewis were in the party of Cherokee that Captain John Rogers led to Arkansas in about 1824. Bricie was the daughter of Irby HOLT, son of Robert HOLT, and an unknown woman by last name of LITTLE. Irby HOLT did not marry Bricie's mother.For awhile we didn't know if Bricie's maiden name was LITTLE or HOLT. Joyce REECE said that Bricie's mother was a LIITLE woman of Cherokee blood.
