Subject: LEWIS, Capt. James "Otterskin" - Loyalist From: Simsmoody Date: December 05, 1998
Seeking any information about Capt. James LEWIS "of Pee Dee" South Carolina.
Died November l780. Commonly called "Otterskin" He was a Loyalist, shot and
killed at White's Plantation, near Gerogetown, by a 14 year old boy named
"Gwinn", who was in Colonel Peter Horry's company (from "The Swamp Fox. The
Life and Campaigns of General Francis Marion:, by Robert D. Bass.)
Need name of wife, siblings, children - any relatives at all.
Was Rachel LEWIS(born l762 - died l794, married l777 to Joseph JENKINS, who
fought under Gen. Marion) the daughter of Capt. James LEWIS?
Was Whereat/Wherritt/Wheriot LEWIS, born l772 - died l836, the son of Capt.
James LEWIS?
Even the slightest clue eagerly sought. This has been a brick wall for
twenty-five years !!!
