Billie Harris - Feb 22, 2011
While I'm not disputing the above genealogy, I do want to point out, the second Daniel who died 1712 Charles City County above left no descendants.
Here's a mini summary of John or Preble County, OH, which may or may not be of help. Note where he was from conflicts in different publications.
John Lewallen born 1760 moved to Preble County Ohio where he died. John Lewellen served in the Revolutionary War. He enlisted as a private from Westmoreland Co, in PA, served in the PA militia. (certificate issued 1785 PA State Archives)
Preble Co., Ohio History: "John Lewellen and his wife, Catharine Eleanor Duvall (Kate DeVall), originally from Virginia , came to Somers Township in 1809 from Kentucky , and settled on Paint creek. They reared a family of ten children. Martha Lewellen Murray was the only one of their children to remain in Preble County . John and Kate resided in Somers Township and then moved to Dixon Township , Preble County , Ohio
From "Preble Co., Pioneers (Ohio) R97.11P.7ru Somers Tp, pg 19:
"John Lewellen and his wife Catherine (DeVall) came from Virginia through Kentucky to Somers Tp in 1809 and settled on Paint Creek. They were the parents of ten children. He was a patriot of the Revolutionary War of 1812. He was a flour inspector. He was the father of 8 children and came from New Jersey in 1815.
Phillip Lewellen married Hannah Runion Jan. 5 (Note: Per census, Phillip was born about 1794 in KY) Also note. There was a Phillip Lewallen and a Thomas Lewallen serving in the War of 1812 from the same county in Ohio. They were in Lt. Fleming's company and served from August 30. 1812, until February 28, 1813
KENTUCKY

Created 1797 from Jefferson and Nelson
1800 - Census shows John Lewallen 8/30/1800
1800 - John Lewellen listed on a tax list
1850 - Census shows PHILLIP LUELLEN born 1795
Landy Gobes - Feb 25, 2011
I too can not verify the early part of this lineage.
I have the children of John and Catharine Eleanor Duvall Lewellen as:
Thomas b 1787
Martha 1789-1883
Samuel 1791-
Phillip 1793-1877 (served in war of 1812)
Catharine 1796-
Dennis 1796- (not sure about these dates, were they twins?)
John Lewis 1798-
Sarah 1800-
Daniel 1808-
Lewis was what John Lewis was called and Patsy was Martha's nickname. I descend from Martha, and I have a copy of her obituary + an article that she had fallen in the fire and was not expected to live long due to her advanced age. (This happened a year before she died at 95/6.)
