Thomas Lewis (1752-1808)


Thomas Lewis was the brother of Col. Andrew Lewis, sons of General Andrew Lewis.  He was a distinguished lawyer, who killed, and was killed by Mr. John McHenry in a duel with rifles in Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. It was big news in the states in 1800.   








In 2005, I took a trip down route 81 to Christiansburg. Driving around we found this sign. We didn't find out he was our 5th great grand uncle until we got home.
