Mary Bell Lewis Heitman, b.abt 1920, dau of David/Jimetta, wife of Lloyd Heitman
I have six original photographs of the Lewis and Patterson families, including Annie Bell Cobb Lewis and Mary Bell Lewis Heitman, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. Photos are:
- (two similar pictures) “Jimetta Patterson Lewis and David Knox Lewis wedding picture”, and on one of the two, it states “the Jim in Jim Etta’s name was for her Dad, James Patterson who died in the War before she was born” – and on the other one it states “David Knox Lewis was 25 years old – this is Mary Bell Lewis Heitman’s mother and dad”;
- “David Knox Lewis” (this is a photo postcard from about 1910).On the picture is written “Mary Bell’s father”;
- (two pictures) “David Oswald Lewis and Annie Bell (Cobb) Lewis – children shown are Tom, Dave (14 yrs.), Lloyd, Luther” and written on one is written “Annie Bell was only 15 years older than son David”.Written on the other is “Mary Bell’s grandparents – Dave was my father, and Annie Bell I was named after”;
- “Mary Jane Patterson”.On this is written “Jim Etta’s mother, who was Mary Bell’s mother” and “Mary Bell was named for Mary Jane and Bell for Annie Bell, who was Dave’s mother” and also “Mary Belle was Marietta’s mother, so Mary Jane was Marietta’s great grandmother”.
I found this family as follows:
- “Jimetta” was born Aug 1885 “AR/ALA/MS” per 1900 census Little River Co., AR, daughter of Mary J. Patterson, born Aug 1845. In 1870 same loc., lived her parents James J. Patterson, ae 28 AL and wife Mary J., 23, MS.She married, per Ancestry OWT, in 1910, David Knox Lewis.They had daughter Mary Bell in abt 1920 (per 1930 census, same loc.)
- “David Knox Lewis” in 1900 Little River Co., AR was born Nov 1888 “AR/NC/AR”, son of Oswald/Oswell K. and Annie B. Lewis. Oswald born Sep 1860 NC & Annie B.

- “Annie Bell” Cobb Lewis in 1900 has DOB listed as Apr 1873. She and Oswald Lewis were in Little River Co. census 1900-1910 and by 1920, she was age 46 and still there as a widow. In 1880 Little River Co. census, she was age 8, daughter of David and Brunette Cobb.
