I will repeat my message on the BENTON TN board back in April 2009.. > > > > Folks, I was seeking any info about 'David Lewis' listed as one of the first settlers of Eagle Creek, within the "Goodspeed" History of Benton County,TN. One source for this claim is made at:http://www.tngenweb.org/benton/goodspeedhist.html 09/12/08; and, back on 5 April 2002 I made an inquiry to the LEWIS MSG. Board, with no success of replies. Now it's 2009. There is a David Lee Lewis born 30 January 1877, Camden, TN which is within Benton County, TN. This David Lee Lewis later died on 6 November 1938, and does not have a US SSI record. Apparently he died without a SS number. I have not yet discovered his wife's name, but he did have 7 children and so far I have found one of those children a son named Herschell Nathan Lewis, was born in Jefferson, Texas and as well as brothers, Herschell had a sister named Hazel Lewis who married a Mr. Burns and they lived in Sulpher Springs, Texas. I am trying to find out if anyone has connected David Lee Lewis born 30 January 1877, Camden, TN, to the original settler named David Lewis of Eagle Creek in TN. Perhaps there are other siblings of David Lewis (the settler) as we know there are 7 children of David Lee Lewis 1877 TN - died 1938 who may have died in Texas (Not proven yet) Any research is greatly appreciated.
