Anderson and Asa Lewellin Bedford Co, VA 1817-1821
Carol Redd - Jan 21, 2012
Hi All
I've been corresponding w/ George Waldron who has been researching Sally Carter's descendants for years. He lives in Bedford Co, VA and has sent me some info on two Lewellins who were bound out. Billy and others who have been at this much longer than I have probably already have it, but thought I'd post what George sends to me. He's posting in on Genforum, too.
I'm having to work hard now...it's tax time, so I'm not able to dip my toe into the genepool - otherwise, I'll be drowning and the work won't get done. Hope this heps someone!
You may already have this....just sending it along. Posted on GenForum also.

Library of Virginia list Sally Lewellen of Bedford County, Va., died 1855, age 70, died of cancer.
I’m not sure but I think Sally Lewellen’s death is listed different in Bedford....will have to recheck.
A.N. Lewellen, age 56, (from Virginia) 1860 Mclean, Illinois, fits the age of Asa Lewellin in Bedford County Order Books....I know census age is not dependable. The initials A.A. in 1870.....looks like to me A.A. in 1860....same people!

Carol, you said the two words that brings chills up my spine - tax time.
Perhaps those of you studying the Carter line might want to look at Bedford and Campbell County, Virginia, and the information we have for both those counties. I've just incorporated the information Carol posted above. It would appear Anderson and Asa may have been children of Charles Lewallen. Take a look.
