Zack Lewis was married to Mary Jane Moncrief, and later, to Sarah Anne, her younger sister. Zack and Sarah Anne had nine children: Soloman (Sol), Nancy Childers, Jackson (Jack), Rufus (Ruf), Edna Bagwell, Ella Mae (Dolly), Annie Posey, Isabelle (Issie) Stevens, and Bessie Eaves.
Lucius and Nancy Childers lived on Zack Lewis's place and farmed from 1894 until they moved to Crisp County in December of 1912. They and their 7 children moved on a wagon with a cow and calf tied behind it. The trip took three days and 2 nights. Their children played along the way, walking part of the time to rest from riding in the jolting wagon which was loaded with all their possessions. The older boys rode along the side and helped drive the wagon. The nights were spent under and around the wagon with a camp fire providing warmth and protection. The second night, they stayed at Dooly County Camp Grounds. The third day, they arrived in Crisp County about sundown at Sol Lewis's Nancy's older brother's home. This farm is still intact today about 10 miles south of Cordele on Hwy. 33 and remains in the Lewis family. Sol and Ellen Lewis's daughter, Josie (Lewis) Sego, live there in the old home.
