Andrew Lewis, Revolutionary War Veteran - American Revolutionary War Veteran Graves on Waymarking.com

Andrew Lewis "was a Revolutionary soldier, and afterwards was employed in Indian warfare under Generals HARMAR and ST. CLAIR. He was not in ST. CLAIR's defeat, but helped to bury the dead. He was in the whole campaign of General WAYNE, and such confidence was reposed in him that when night came, or they were in camp, the pass-word was given him so that he could go out to shoot game. On one occasion he went out a short distance from camp and brought in a deer, although the Indians filled the woods in every direction. Another time he went out hunting, but accidentally got further than he designed, and finally lost his way; night came on, and he gave up the attempt for that time. But in the morning he began again, uselessly, as he knew not the direction, and it was nine days before he extricated himself. He subsisted on game the whole time. At last he struck the Miami and followed its course downstream until it reached the Ohio. The camp had been at Fort Hamilton, but while LEWIS was lost in the woods they had proceeded on their way. By this lucky mishap he failed of being present in the defeat of ST. CLAIR. He remained in Fort Washington until after the battle, and saw the remnant of the army as it marched back.

After this he and nine others returned to Pennsylvania, where General WAYNE was then recruiting an army, and enlisted under him. With him they came to Cincinnati, and after a period of service were discharged. He went back to Pennsylvania for a brief season, but soon was on his way west again, locating in Campbell Co., KY, about seven miles from Newport, on the Licking River. In March, 1804, he came to this county, cutting his own road to Ross Twp. There were only three cabins the whole distance, one at Cumminsville, another near BEVIS's tavern, and one and a block-house near Millville. There were no houses between his place and Hamilton. He entered half of a section, or 320 acres. After three years he bought a quarter of a section more. He followed farming until his death, which happened in 1847. His wife died February 12, 1852. He had 8 children: Jane, Andrew, Robert M., Sarah, Mary, Elizabeth, Martha, and Clarissa. "
