    Notes:

    COL. JOHN LEWIS JR. was born on 30 Nov. 1669, at Chemokins, New Kent, Virginia, the son of Major John and Isabella Miller, daughter of James Miller and his wife Mary and the grandson of John and Johane Lewis who arrived in 1653, at the age of 60, aboard the Globe.

    He married, circa 1689, Elizabeth Warner. Elizabeth was born on 24 Nov. 1672 in Gloucester Co., Va. the daughter of Col. Augustine Warner II and Mildred Reade, daughter of Col. George Reade. Elizabeth's family came to Virginia before 1630 and her father, Augustine Warner, returned to England as a boy to be educated, matriculating at the Merchant Taylor School, London, at eleven years of age. John Lewis' mother-in-law, Mildred Reade Warner, was part of a distinguished family as well. Her father came to America in 1637, was Secretary to the Colony of Virginia in 1640, and became a Burgess and a Colonel of Militia. (Anderson, pp. 19-21)

    Their first home was probably Chemokins. Elizabeth's brother Robert had inherited Warner Hall from his mother and John had received a large tract of land at Chemokins when his father died. Between 1689 and 1702 there were several entries pertaining to Col. John Lewis in the St. Peter's Parish Vestry book in New Kent County where Chemokins was located.
    On 5 Jan.1695 John Lewis was elected Vestryman (parish council) for St. Peter's Parish. (In England, but also in other parts of the United Kingdom, parish councils have long been a level of local government rather than being solely ecclesiastical in nature.) Some of the early baptismal records of his children referred to him as "Captain" Lewis.

    In the minutes of 4 Mar. 1702 "Mr. John Lewis lately departed this county." This is perhaps when they moved to Warner Hall, which Elizabeth had inherited from her brother. [The Lewis Family occupied Warner Hall for generations and members of the family immigrated to all parts of the United States. Lewis family descendants built a number of important Virginia homes including Belle Farm, Eagle Point, Abingdon and Severn Hall.]

    In 1704 the Rent Roll shows John Lewis' holdings included 2000 acres in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., 300 acres in York Co., 2600 acres in New Kent Co., and several grants in King & Queen Co., the largest for 10,100 acres. The 2600 acres in New Kent Co. is the exact size of the Chemokins estate. His brother Edward inherited their father's estate on Poropotank Creek in King & Queen County.

    In 1704 he was appointed to His Majesty's Honorable Council for the Virginia Colony, one of only 12 members at that time. He was sworn in 26 June 1707. He served for 20 years until his death. Sept 2, 1707, he was appointed Commander of King and Queen County, Va. with the rank of Colonel and most of the records of the eighteenth century accord him that title.

    In 1717 he deeded Chemokins alias Port Holy, a tract in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, which he owned in fee-simple, to his son Charles.

    Elizabeth died on 5 Feb. 1719/20 at Gloucester Co., VA, at age 47. She was buried at 'Warner Hall', Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., VA.
    "Here Lyeth Interr'd ye Body of Elizabeth Lewis the Daughter of Col Augustine Warner and Mildred his Wife and late wife of John Lewis Esq. She was Born at Chesake the 24th of November, 1672 Aged 47 years 2 Months and 12 Days, and was a Tender Mother of 14 children She Departed this Life the 5th Day of February 1719/20"

    John Lewis died on 14 Nov. 1725 at 'Warner Hall', Gloucester Co., VA, at age 55 and was buried at Warner Hall Graveyard.
    "Here Lyeth Interred the Body of Coll John Lewis son of John and Isabella Lewis, and one of his Majestys Hon'ble Council for this Colony who was born ye 30th of November 1669 & departed this Life on ye 14th of November 1725."

    As Councilor John and his wife Elizabeth Warner are perhaps the two most famous persons of early Colonial Virginia. John and Elizabeth are buried side-by-side in the beautiful cemetery at Warner Hall.
