      Charles Crawford Lewis Sr and Elizabeth Russell reportedly had 13 children, although only 12 of the children's names are commonly known.
      You currently list 11 children, and have a spot for a 12th child, but you are missing a name.
      Internal family records refer to a "13th child", but none of them name the 13th child. If you check the census records of 1810, then you will see indications of an "extra" daughter under the age of 5 years that does not appear to be on the 1820 census. There is also an unnamed, marked grave next to Charles Crawford Lewis that is otherwise accounted for and I am currently under the impression it could the the missing 13th child.
      The 12th name that you need is "James Taliaferro Lewis", born 5-Feburary-1808 per his gravemarker, died 9-April-1901 at the age of 93 years, 1 month, 14 days. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." James was occasionally called "Toliver". "Toliver" and "Taliaferro" were used interchangably during the 1800's.

      David,
      Thank you for getting back in contact.
      I must apologize for an error in my last message.
      I originally said "The 12th name that you need is 'James Taliaferro Lewis', born 5-Feburary-1808 per his gravemarker..." and then later corrected it to "Charles Crawford Lewis Sr's 11th child, Jesse Taliaferro Lewis, married Susan Cowart.
      Susan was reportedly born in March 1819 and died in March 1886.
      Jesse was born in February 1808 ..."
      Jesse is correct. James was a different relative.
      Sorry about that.
      It doesn't look like you've updated the website yet.
      I'll be happy to review it again once the new data is displayed.
      Thanks!
