Jesse Lewis is listed as head of household in the 1820 Census of Pitt County, NC. He moved with his family to Wayne County, GA, between 1820 and 1823, and located about 5 miles from the present town of Nahunta. He lived there until his death.
He was Justice of Wayne Inferior Court 1825-29; Tax Collector 1827-29. Also Justice of the Peace in 339th District 1833-37.
Known children: James Bryant, Hannah Elizabeth "Betty", Mary Ludicy "Dicy", Gatsie, Susannah "Susie", William Henry "Bill", Sarah Ann, Lucinda "Cindy", Harriet Eliza, Ethelred, Mildred "Millie".
He died in 1850 "in the Spring of the year."
One source states that Jesse and Mildred/Millicent Lewis are buried in the Raybon Church Cemetery (called the Rob Lewis Cemetery by the family) where a monument has been erected in his memory by his descendants, but the following was found in "Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia," by Folks Huxford; Volume IV, page 371:
"Jesse Lewis was not buried in the Lewis Cemetery. He was buried near Smyrna Primitive Baptist Church; grave marked by an old oak tree standing across Smyrna Branch just west of the church. His wife buried there also. Graves have never been marked."
I have named that lost place of burial as the Jesse Lewis Cemetery. There are possibly other unmarked graves there.
