Lewis Death Cert gives his DoB as March 1, 1965 and info was provided by his father, William. His name is also spelled Chadwick and not what the funeral home has. The 1870 has him as 1867, the 1880 census has the year as 1868, most other records have 1867 and 1868 as possible year of birth but the death cert will take precedence over the others. His middle initial has shown to be a V or B, so initial will not be added unless proof is provided.
Although the funeral home marker does say Shadowick, Lewis was a Chadwick, and no one could find him by the other spelling. Some of the related family did spell the name with an S.
Lewis was the son of William W. 'Bill' and Mary Jane Dover Chadwick, both born in North Carolina, and his siblings in the 1880 Pickens County, Georgia census were Mary Ann, Lindsey, Louisa M., William T., Celia and James R.
His sister, Celia, married Andrew Seay and they moved to Polk County, Tennessee which is where Lewis died. His death certificate says he died of a gunshot wound, and family lore is that it was his brother-in-law, Andrew Seay, who shot him in self defense.
