Colonel James Lewis was, in a true sense of the word, a fair specimen of 'Virginia hospitality'. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, was a farmer, kept a hotel several years at Charlottesville, Virginia. His fun of anecdotes was almost inexhaustible. He had blue eyes, dark hair and fair complexion; when young he was quite spare-made and walked very erect, but in old age he weighed about two hundred pounds. His height was six feet one and a half inches. He was twice married. His first wife was Lucy, daughter of John Thomas, of Albemarle County, Virginia, by whom he had thirteen children, but raised only eleven. They were married in 1778; she died in 1825.
