John Lewallen b 1790 & wife Nancy Unknown, Anderson Co, TN

John Lewallen was the son of Richard Lewallen & 1st wife Unknown. It is my belief Richard had 3 known children with Unknown Spouse & was married twice more.

John was born Abt 1790 probably Prince Edward Co, VA & died January 06, 1839 Anderson Co, TN. He married Abt. 1811 to Nancy UNKNOWN.

John & Nancy had 5 known children.

Many researchers have Richard Lewallen's children all screwed up. I have tried to get them corrected for years to no avail.

This is a person who has it correct & has the proof that John Lewallen born 1790 lived in Anderson Co, TN did not marry Nancy Coley!

John LEWELLEN was born in North Carolina about 1795 according to 1850 census, and about 1798 according to his tombstone. I know nothing about his parents. He married Nancy COLEY, daughter of J. COLEY, there and their oldest child was born there. Nancy COLEY, was born North Carolina about 1805 (but according to census records she may have been older than that. Females in this family seem to be especially good at lying about age--maybe even after death). She died October 13, 1855, age 50, at Smith County, Texas and is buried there in the Verner Cemetery. Her tombstone inscription reads, "Nancy LEWELLEN, daughter of J. COLEY and wife of J. LEWELLEN, d Oct. 13, 1855, age 50 years." John died June 5, 1853, in Smith County and is also buried in the Verner Cemetery. [COMMENT-8]
