Lewis, son of John Lawshe and Eleanor Chamberlain (who had Dutch ancestry from New Amsterdam) was a soldier, and married Cherokee Hawkins, daughter of Col. Benjamin Hawkins. They resided in Georgia some years, and later moved to Water Valley, Mississippi where Cherokee died before 1850. Lewis lost all of his propery during the Civil War, and moved to San Marcos, Hays, Texas near some of his children. He and daughter Cherokee are portrayed in the book "True Women," by Janice Woods Windle, made in to a mini-series.
