Notes - One of the pioneer brothers who settled in what is now Gaston County, North Carolina. He was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. He was distinguished from the other Lewis' by his title of Captain. He was also engaged in farming and raising cattle. Per Lineberger Genealogy "he was killed by a man who came to his home pretending to want to buy cattle. As they went to the woods to find the cattle, the man, plundering, notorious, Pat Carr of Georgia, dropped behind and shot him. This is said to have happened on the road to Stanley from Dallas, North Carolina near Hoyle's Bridge. Some people of the area can still point out the place where he was killed and where he lived. The lower floor of his house was built of rock and the upper floor was made of hand hewn, heart pine logs. It was a substantial house."
