Clewis Family
Lewis Clewis m. Mary Ivy 16 May 1821 in Robeson NC . They migrated to Dooley Co. Ga. after 1830. The family appears in the 1840 Dooley GA census. In the 1850 federal census of Dooley Co. GA, Lewis Clewis (age 50, b. NC) appears with his wife, Mary (age 51, b. NC), sons Charles (age 20, b. NC) and Lewis (age 18, b. NC).
She died before the 1860 federal census in Dooley, GA
They had at least 2 children:
Charles Clewis b. abt. 1830 in NC
Louis Clewis b. abt. 1831 in NC
Louis Clewis (b. abt. 1831, spelled Louis and Lewis in various places) left Georgia and according to family lore was wandering around in east Texas where he met and married Elizabeth Jones (b. abt. 1845 AL) about 1860. (A record of the marriage has not been located. It is assumed to be in Wood County, TX, as the Wood County courthouse burned in the 1870s.) Louis is buried in the Clewis Family Cemetery that is located on the (present day) Green Ranch in Rains County. The date of his death is unknown, but his wife had remarried by 1880. No death certificate was filed at this early date.
