My search says that Hezekiah was from Scotland, came to Va. in 1778 with wife Jane McCoy, native of Ireland with their 2 year old son George. George marrid Rachel Call, a native of Ireland and daughter of Jesse Call in Greenbrier Co.Va. Now Lewisburg, WV. Georges oldest son was Andrew Lewis (my 4th great grandfather) who was born in Bath Co. Va. He married Margaret McCoy, a daughter of IRish born Lewis McCoy. Margaret was born Aug. 6, 1811 in Tazewll Co. Ba. & was a neice of Samuel and Hannah McCoy(spelled McCoye) of Pike CO. Ky. Lewis McCoy was born in Ireland and came to Va. in 1776. Margaret and Andrew were married December 2, 1833 in Monroe Co. WV (was in Va then) on the waters of Wolf Creek which is East of Pence Springs, WV on Rt. 3. Andrew and Margaret are the parents of my 3rd great grandfather, Mason Matthew Lewis who married Cynthia Keller Gwinn. Their son Paris (Parse) Lewis is my 2nd great grandfather. Paris is my grandfather, Thomas Edison Lewis! 's Dad and he was married to Janetta Gwinn. Thomas married Evelyn Lively from Cowtown Rd in Meadow Bridge. She was the daughter of Charles Thomas Lively and Ittle Ellen Shafer Lively. My mother is Diana Marie Lewis Layne and lives in Prosperity, WV. I have quite a bit of information on the Lewis's but would like to know who the parents of Hezikiah are and where they were from. Do you have that info? If I may ask, what is your name and how are you related to the above? Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
