LEWIS, ROGERS, WEBB, BLEVINS, RIGSBY, HUTCHINS, and JULIAN  18 January 1998

I have been trying to trace the BLEVINS family of Greasy Cove, Washington County, NC/TN. They were mentioned in the Washington Co. Court Pleas and Quarterly Sessions, 1778-1798 Vol. 1, pg 363. Ordered to lay off a road from Greasy Cove to the head of Limestone Cove, on the road to Burke County, NC. John BLEVINS, William BLEVINS, Jonathan BLEVINS, Daniel BLEVINS, Elisha BLEVINS, Richard BLEVINS, also named was William LEWIS(my ancestor), John HALES, Isham HALES, William HALES, James WARD, William SAMMS, Joseph CULBERTSON, James WARD, William FORRISTER and others.

I have unsuccessfully tried to backtrack each family to find the origins of my William LEWIS. Obvious connections, but nothing definitive. They all have links to Pittsylvania>Henry County VA areas, and Rowan, Orange, Surry, Guilford, and Cumberland Counties, NC. Any information or suggestions will be appreciated.

Other allied and associated names from Greasy Cove and Washington County, NC/TN of interest:

WEBBS, DILLARDS, HUTCHINS, RIGSBYS, JULIANS, TINKER, TITLE, FOSTER, CLOUSE

LEWIS  24 January 1998

I have some bits of old history (unofficial) that refer to Erwin as Greasy Cove. My Great Great Great Grandfather might have come from near Erwin. A LEWIS Family was attacked by indians around 1790 on what is now Granny Lewis Creek. The family was killed except for a daughter who was later traded for a rifle. The father was away from the cabin at the time and survived also. There was a local militia company commanded by a Captain Taylor. They chased the indians as far as the French Broad River. This girl might have been the mother of my Great Great Great Grandfather William Jessie LEWIS. Seeking info on this matter. Jessie later lived on Foster Creek in North Carolina. He married Nancy HENSLEY.
