Henry Thomas Lewis was born on February 1, 1842 in Green County, Alabama to Francis Wesley and Jane (Thompson) Lewis. His paternal grandparents were Nathaniel and Sarah (Harris) Lewis. His maternal grandparents were Henry Butt Thompson and Precilla Jackson. The Thompsons were of Scots-Irish and Native American Heritage (Chickasaw-Choctaw).
Henry Thomas had a younger brother, James Polk, and two older sisters; Sarah A. and Mary Frances. The family migrated to Pulaski County, Arkansas sometime after 1843 and two more children were born, Martha L. and Charles, who died very young. Jane died prior to 1853. After Jane died, Francis remarried to Judith Ann (Jennings) Duvall on May 1, 1853. Another son, Francis Washington, was born to Francis and Judith on September 13, 1855.
With the outbreak of the Civil War, Henry Thomas is believed to have served in the Texas 2nd Cavalry, though his pension application does not mention the Texas 2nd. His pension application says he served in the Arkansas 20th Cavalry and that he saw action at Vicksburg and Jenkins Ferry.
He married Susan Wilkes after the War, daughter of James Madison and Lucinda Gambill Wilkes. Their children were: Francis Porter, born September 9, 1869, Murat H. (Preach) born 1872, Rosella born 1873, Zelma born 1877, Henry Bart born 1878, Mary Irene (Mamie) and Elzie who died at age 21.
They bought 200 acres on the Colorado River near Spicewood, Burnet co, TX and lived there the rest of their lives.
