Notes from History No. 5, My Grandma the Spy

In one of my last Notes from History on the Methodists you may have noticed the mention that it was one of the Lewis ladies selling tarts and gathering information for the Confederacy. Jack was writing this in the 1980’s and didn’t know at the time she was a Rixey and became a Lewis in 1866 when she married

Richard Henry Lewis 1836-1905 4th Va. Co H.

Lucinda Margaret “Tinney” (Rixey) Lewis 1846-1923 would have been 18 in 1864

Thank you Welly Hopkins for keeping all these articles.
