I am a descendant of Charles Crawford Lewis Sr, who was born in Albemarle County, Virginia on 26-May-1761, married Elizabeth Russell in October 1785 in Rutherford County, and died 13-December-1833.
There are different exact dates for Charles and Elizabeth's marriage --- I suspect some folks are using the ceremony date, some folks are using the date registered at the courthouse, and some folks are rounding to 1786 without using a month or a day.
Richard Lewis, presumably Charles' brother, was his bondsman for the marriage. Charles' father had already died by 1785.
The dates for Charles' birth and death come from Charles' gravemarker.
Elizabeth Russell died 22-October-1851 per her gravemarker
Elizabeth married Charles Crawford LEWIS, Sr. in Oct 1785 in ,Rutherford County, North Carolina. Charles (son of John LEWIS and Sarah TALIAFERRO) was born on 26 May 1761 in Albemarle County, Virginia; died on 13 Dec 1833 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Pittman Lewis' name was interchangably "Pittman" and "Pitman". I strongly suspect that Pittman's maternal great-grandmother had a surname of "Pittman". While the name was commonly spelled "Pittman" during the 1700's, it was more commonly spelled "Pitman" during the 1800's. Pitman was born 14-August-1789, and died 21-April-1858 according to both the Family Bible and his gravemarker. Pitman's will is on record at the Rutherford County Courthouse.
Pitman Lewis married Intha Dalton in May 1837 in Rutherford County.
Intha Dalton's birthyear is uncertain and her gravemarker states her birthdate as "About 1805".
Intha was "about 32" when she married Pitman. Intha already had a daughter named "Jane Caroline Dalton" when Intha and Pitman were married. Jane's birthdate on the 1900 census ( Rutherford County, Green Hill Township ) was "Dec 1831", so Jane would have been about 5 years old when Pitman and Intha were married. Jane married George Martin Edwards in October 1848 in Rutherford County and had 6 children starting with Thomas Pinkney Edwards in October 1849. Pitman did not mention step-dau Jane Caroline Dalton Lewis Edwards in his will.
Pitman and Intha had 4 children of their own.
The oldest was Elizabeth Lewis, born 9-October-1838 according to the Family Bible, and Elizabeth married William Henry Cantrell and moved near Boiling Springs, Spartanburg County, SC. See the 1880 Spartanburg County SC census, Cherokee Township, district 140, sheet 19, line 36, house 173, William was listed as 49 years old and ill with what appears to be "Chronic-Dysentery". Elizabeth is listed as age 41, with 8 children. I have serious reservations about the census taker's record-keeping and suggestion that Elizabeth was born in SC -- I suspect she was actually born in Rutherford County.
William Henry Cantrell appears to have died by the 1900 census, and Elizabeth appears on the 1900 census in Spartanburg County, SC, at the age of 61.
I do not know when Elizabeth Lewis Cantrell died, but sometime after the 1900 census.
Pittman married Intha DALTON in May 1837 in ,Rutherford County, North Carolina. Intha was born in 1805; died on 7 Dec 1895 in , Rutherford County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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!
-- Mike

Mr Marshall,
Pitman and Intha's 3rd oldest child, Mary Louisa Lewis, went by the name "Louise" or "Lou". Both her grave marker and the Family Bible say she was born 19-March-1843 not the 18th as you suggest. I believe the date of death is correct.

Mr Marshall,
Pitman and Intha's 4th (and last) child. You have "Pickney Pittman Lewis". The Family Bible lists "Pinckney Pitman Lewis". The name "Pinckney" was used interchangbly with "Pinkney" ( particularly in the census), and was often abbreviated to "Pink". We already mentioned that Pitman was spelled both ways, although two "T"s was more widely used during the 1700's and one "I" was more widely used during the 1800's. My records suggest that Pinckney Pitman Lewis was born 18-August-1847 not 8-August-1847 as you suggest. (per gravemarker). You have his date-of-death correct.
