Excerpt from Genealogy of the Lewis Family in America: Family From the Middle of the of Century Down to the Present Time During a long life, extending over four score years, Mr. Lewis, although a frail and delicate man, led an active, useful life. He was by occupation land surveyor and planter; and by constant exercise in the open air of a genial southern climate, and strictly temperate habits, he invigorated his constitution and gained power to resist the ordinary ills of the flesh. But when that grim monster "La Grippe" seized him with a fatal grasp he was at once prostrated. Old and feeble he gradually sank beneath the ravages of the disease and with quiet resignation he endured its racking pains. His mind was calm and clear and he saw in death a relief from the cares and anxieties of this world and rest for the body. He had fought a good fight as a Christian soldier; he had devoted his life to the performance of his duty to his God and to his fellow-man, and he was not afraid to die. When the Angel of Death came to bear his soul away, he called his weeping family to his bed-side and in a feeble voice whispered to them his dying words, "meet me in heaven." These last words become an appropriate message from the Author of this book to all his friends whose names are herein enrolled. For more than forty years Mr. Lewis was engaged in gathering the materials for this work. He wrote thousands of letters and traveled hundreds of miles. To him it was a labor of love. He was proud of his lineage. His descent from the Huguenot brothers, who fled from religious persecution in France and found an asylum in this land, for whose freedom their sons bravely fought, was not his only boast. His researches in the family records and traditions disclosed to him the fact that those manly, noble traits of character that so eminently distinguished the Huguenot brothers, were distinctly transmitted to their descendants even to the present generation, and therefore with high admiration and fraternal love he regarded every one in whose veins the Lewis blood flowed. His dream of life was to see this book in print. Alas how sad was his disappointment. To each of you then, whose names he has, with so much patient labor and carefulness, gathered together from all parts of the United States, and perpetuated them in this book, it is fitting that his dying words be sent as his message from the grave, "Meet me in Heaven."
