John Lewis, the son of David and Mary, originally settled in Rowan County, North Carolina on Pole Cat Creek. He lived there with his family his whole life. David Lewis, another son of David and Mary, settled in Marinsburg, West Virginia. It is recorded that Crawford Lewis, son of David and Mary, was deeded 200 acres of land in South Carolina from his father.
