    1. [VAWASHIN] Lewis Family in early 1900's Washington Co., VA
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Lewis, Dougherty (Daugherty), Rash, Hodgson, Eastridge Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACE/503 Message Board Post: This is information I have received and I am trying to document it. In 1918 Jacob Calhoun Lewis and his wife Mary Elizabeth Lewis and family came from Ashe Co., NC to Washington Co. Her parents are supposed to have come with Jacob and Mary. Phillip Lewis, Mary's father and Mary(Polly) Howard Dougherty Lewis, Mary's mother. Phillip died in 1919 and is buried at Mt. Zion cemetery between Abingdon and Damascus. In 1921 Polly died and is buried the same. In 1927 Jacob died and is buried with Phillip and Polly. In 1955 when Mary died she couldn't be buried with them because no paper proof that they are buried there could be found. Help. There are no stones for Phillip, Polly or Jacob. We would like to put stones there for them. We know the area of burial. So far I haven't been able to find Phillip and Polly's death certificates or an obit. At least not at The Virginia State Library. I would appreciate any help in finding documentation for them, anything that can point! me in the right direction. Thanks.
