Notes
a. Note:   N6627 Dr. John R. Lewis
 Richmond Times-Dispatch (Richmond, VA)
 1 Junw 1906
  Kansas City, MO., May 31—The late Dr. John R. Lewis, who died in St. Joseph last Friday, came of an historic family. He was born October 28, 1831, in Albemarle county, Va., on the historic plantation of his great-grandfather, Col. Nicholas Lewis. This plantation adjoined "Monticello", the home of Thomas Jefferson, and "Locust Hill", the home of William Lewis, the father of Meriwether Lewis, of Lewis and Clark fame. It was to commemorate the Lewis and Clark expedition that the recent exposition was held at Portland, Oregon.
  The plantations, together with many others, comprised a large grant of land made by the English crown to General Robert Lewis about 1630.
  Charles Thornton Lewis, the father of the late Dr. Lewis, came overland to Missouri in 1835, and settled on a large tract of land in Cooper county. When only a youth, Dr. Lewis, with a party of young men, drove ox teams to California. In search of gold, but finding that a miner's life did not agree with him, he sailed from San Francisco to Nicaragua and Panama, thence across the Gulf of Mexico to Havana and New Orleans. Contracting Yellow Fever, he was detained at New Orleans for some time.Upon his arrival home he was sent to the old Pope Medical College, at St. Louis. After graduation he settled in Central Missouri, where he practiced his profession for half a century.
  Dr. Lewis was the father of Mrs. D. O. Smart, Jr., and Charles T. Lewis, of this city.
