Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline?read=1330 Surname: Lewis, Brent, McNish ------------------------- Hello, I am looking for information on Elizabeth Lewis who married David McNish. David McNish was in Caroline County, VA when he inherited land in Fauquier County, VA in 1786. His wife was Elizabeth Lewis who claimed descent from the Brent Family of Tidewater Virginia. It is suggested that her ancestress was Mary Brent (daughter of Capt. Charles Brent and Hannah Innes) who married a Lewis. It is believed that Elizabeth and David's son Horatio McNish named his estate in Williamson County, Tennessee after the Brent family estates of Brenton and Woodstock. The town of Brentwood, TN is named after Horatio McNish's estate. Does anyone have any information on Elizabeth Lewis, the Lewis family or their connection to the Brent family? Or can anyone tell me where the estates of Woodstock and Brenton are located? Any help is appreciated.
