Wife of Curtis Lewis who died of yellow fever in 1840.
Married 3 Nov 1826 in Mobile.
Daughter of Louis Le Gras de Vaubercey, also called "Count Louis de Grasse de Vaubercy," "Last Count of Champagne."
Granddaughter of Sir Robert Farmar of Mobile, governor of British West Florida.

Burial place unknown, but her husband was buried at Church Street Cemetery in Mobile, as were her parents.
A History of Church Street Graveyard, Mobile, Alabama, by Col. and Mrs. Soren Nelson, p. 6: "DeVaubercey's daughter married Curtis Lewis, who is believed to have been a relative of George Washington. ...Curtis Lewis is buried in the DeVaubercey lot together with his first wife and infant daughter. His second wife, who was DeVaubercey's daughter, is buried elsewhere." This is an indication the graves of the first wife and child were moved here perhaps from the old Colonial Cemetery, as Isabella DeVaubercey Lewis's grandfather Gov. Farmar possibly is also.



Her father, the Marqis de Vaubercey, was styled "of Dauphin Island, Mobile, Alabama."
"Note: MOBILE, AL: The Marquis de Vaubercy, the last of the Lords of Champagne is buried in the Old Church graveyard at the rear of the library, between Bayou and Washington Ave." (Interesting Families in New Orleans by Verloren Seele.)
