His mother died when he was born. He came to TX abt 1865 with his Grandmother, Nancy Hatfield Lewis. He was in the Okla land run abt 1899 and won his land. On his way from Vernon TX, with a load of lumber to build on his land, his wagon broke down in a blizzard and he was found by some cowboys, who took him to camp. He died a few days later. He was buried on his land in Okla. 30 years later he was exhumed and reinterred in Davis Okla cemetery. I was told that he had three sons and a daughter and that some of his descendants still live on his land in Okla. Need to locate some of his family. His grandmother, Nancy Hatfield Lewis is my great-great grandmother. Thanks for any info any one can give me. LaVerne Lewis Benton
