CHARLES CAMERON LEWIS.
Writing of his father, John Dickinson Lewis, who was born in Bath county,
Virginia, June 6, 1800, Charles C. Lewis mentions him as the grandson of Col.
Charles Lewis, who was killed at the battle of Point Pleasant, October 10,
1774 (see former sketch).
This Col. Charles Lewis was born in Augusta county, Virginia, in 1736. He was
the youngest son of John Lewis, the pioneer, and brother of Gen. Andrew
Lewis, great-greatgrandfather of Mrs. C. V. Stacy, and was also of the number
who fell at Point Pleas-ant. In 1760, Col. Charles Lewis married Sarah Murry,
and left seven children, viz., Elizabeth, Margaret, John, Mary, Thomas,
Andrew, and Charles (the father of Charles C. Lewis), who was born in Augusta
county, Virginia, in 1774, probably on September uth, as in the will of Col.
Charles Lewis, dated August 10, 1774, just before starting on his march to
Point Pleasant, he provides for the unborn child of his wife, Mary.
This unborn child was Charles Lewis, who served with distinction under Gen.
Anthony Wayne, in 1795, in his Indian campaign in the West, as a lieutenant,
as is attested to by his commission, dated August 7, 1795, and signed by
General Washington, and now in possession of his descendant, P.S. Lewis, of
Mason county, West Virginia.
After Wayne's campaign he resigned from the army and returned to Bath county,
where, in 1799, he married Jane Dickinson, a daughter of Col. John
Dickinson, who commanded a company in Col. Charles Lewis' regiment and was
wounded in the battle of Point Pleasant. Lieut. Charles Lewis died in
September, 1803, aged twenty-nine years, leaving two children, John D. Lewis,
born June 6, i8oo, and Charles Cameron Lewis, born April 27, 1802.

John D. Lewis was brought, an infant in his mother's arms, to Mason county,
now in West Virginia, where he remained until his mother's second marriage,
with Capt. James Wilson, in i8~, when he was brought to Charleston. At the
proper age he was placed in school with Mr. Cru tch field, where he received
his early education, afterwards taking a course in Latin and the higher
branches of mathematics under Gen. Lewis Ruffner. After leaving school he
returned to Mason county, to the farm owned by his brother, Charles, and
himself. At about the age of twenty-two he sold his half-interest in the farm
to his brother and returned to Kanawha county, and for a short time was
employed by Dickinon & Shrewsbury as salt maker. He then engaged in the
manufacture of salt himself and remained in the business until 1856.
When the Civil war broke out, and the price of salt advanced, he again
engaged in the manufacture of salt until 1866, when he returned to his farm
in Kanawha and Nicholas counties.
John D. Lewis was married four times. First to Sally, a daughter of Joel
Shrewsbury, who died a year or two after her marriage, leaving one son, Joel
S. Lewis. His second wife was Ann, a daughter of Col. William Dickinson, who
left three children, Sally, Charles, Sarah, who died when quite young, and
Mary. His third wife was Betty, a daughter of Jacob Darneal, who left two
children, Julia and William. His fourth wife was Mrs. Sally Spears. He died
December 26, 1882, aged eighty two years and six months, generally lamented,
especially by the poor, to whom he was always a warm friend and helper.
Charles Cameron Lewis, now one of the leading business men in Charleston, W.
Va., was a native of Kanawha county, horn April 15, 1839. He was reared there
and educated in the private schools and Mercer Academy. He was the son of
John D. Lewis, owner of large tracts of coal and salt lands, and pioneer in
salt manufacture, the manufacture of which was continued by the son, engaged
with the father, until 1869. In 1870 he became president of the Kanawha
Valley Bank, of Charleston, W. Va., a position he filled for fifteen years.
In 1885 he, with P. H. Noye, organized the wholesale grocery house of P. H.
Noye & Company, one of the largest of the kind in the State, of which he is
still president.
Charles C. Lewis became a member of the Kanawha Riflemen, a well known
organization of spirited young Virginians of the Old Dominion, upon first
call to arms in 1861. He became a member of this company in 1859 and took
part in the engagement at Scary Creek, July 7, 1861, and in a skirmish at
Ripley. After the Con-federate troops had been withdrawn by General Wise to
Kanawha Falls, Mr. Lewis was granted an honorable discharge upon the request
of his father, whose elder son, Joel S. Lewis, was also a member of the
Riflemen. The latter continued in the service with the Twenty-second regiment
during the war, with the exception of a period of cavalry service, at which
time he was held as a prisoner of war at Camp Chase, Ohio.
October 19, 1864, Charles C. Lewis was married to Miss Elizabeth Wilson, and
to this union were horn six children, viz., Charles Cameron Lewis, Jr., John
Dickerson, Virginia Wilson, Elizabeth Josephine, Anne Dickinson, Goodrich
Wilson.
Miss Virginia Wilson Lewis married Charles Stacy, of Richmond, Va., March 25,
i89i. He was a son of Thomas Stacy, a manufacturer of furniture, who came
from England and settled in Richmond in 1901. Charles Stacy came to
Greenbrier county and in 1902 they built Lynnhurst, their beautiful
residence. Four children were born of this union, namely, George Palmer
Stacy, Charles Lewis, Elizabeth Josephine and Virginia Lewis.

JUDGE JOSEPH MARCELLUS M'WHORTER.

Joseph Marcellus McWhorter was born April 30, 1828, at what was then known as
McWhorter's Mills (Virginia), near what is now Janelew, Lewis county, West
Virginia. He was the eldest son of Fields and Margaret Kester McWhorter, and
brother of Henry C. McWhorter, late judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals of
West Virginia. His father was a man of very moderate means, and, being the
eldest son, a great deal of the care and responsibility of the large family
rested on him.  He was energetic and ambitious and received such training as
was then offered in the public schools and added to it by untiring and
persistent reading and studying until he acquired a good education in the
English branches of learning. He also taught school a number of terms during
the winter months, when his services could he spared from the farm.
Judge McWhorter was always greatly interested in public affairs. In politics
he was, before the Civil War, a Whig. and later a staunch Republican.  In
1856, when Roane county was organized, he was appointed county clerk of that
county, also acting as circuit clerk, and was later twice elected to the same
office. On the formation of West Virginia, he was elected a member of the
first legislature from Roane county. After the adjournment of the
legislature, the Governor appointed him superintendent of the penitentiary.
Jn 1864 he was nominated by the Republican party and elected State auditor,
and was again elected to the same office in 1866. He was elected secretary of
the West Virginia Insurance Company in 1869 and served until 1870, when
Governor Stevenson appointed him judge of the Seventh judicial circuit. to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Nathaniel Harrison.  The
circuit was composed of Greenbrier, Monroe, Pocahontas and Nicholas counties,
and Judge McWhorter moved from Wheeling to Lewisburg, where he resided until
his death. His term as judge expired December 31, 1872, and the following
summer he was appointed superintendent of public schools for Greenbrier
county, and did much to elevate the standard of education in the county.
After his retirement from the bench he practiced his profession in Greenbrier
and adjoining counties, meriting the respect and admiration of all. He was
elected mayor of Lewisburg in 1887, and also served four years as postmaster
at Lewisburg. In 1892 he was nominated by his party for judge of the Supreme
Court of Appeals, but, with the rest of the ticket, went down to defeat. He
was elected, in 1896, as judge of the judicial circuit of which Greenbrier
was part, and filled out the full term of eight years, his decisions being
marked by equity, justice and impartiality. From 1905 until the day of his
death he was actively engaged in the practice of law.
He was twice married. His first wife was Julia A. Stalnaker, of Harrison
county, who died August 26, 1869. To them were born ten children: Allessandro
G., of Charleston; Artemas W., of Norfolk, Va.; Louis E., practicing law at
Charleston; Virgil S., died in infancy; William B. of Hinton; Buell M., died
in infancy; Mrs. Margaret E. Lewis, of Charleston; Joseph C., of St. Louis,
Mo.; Walter W., died in infancy; and Deccie J., wife of C. L. Carr, of
Lewisburg. On October 26, 1870, he married Julia A. Kinsley, daughter of Rev.
Hiram and Elsie L. Kinsley, of Geneva, Ohio, and to them four children were
born: Emma L., wife of R. B. Holt, of Lewisburg; Jennie P., deceased, married
J. Scott McWhorter, of Lewisburg; Kinsley F., died in infancy, and Charles
N., of Charleston.
Judge McWhorter died on August 18, 1913, at the ripe age of eighty-five,
beloved by all who knew him. His reputation as a Christian gentleman was
enviable.  He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and had
religious convictions deep and abiding. As an honest, consistent Christian,
he walked uprightly, lived at peace with all men, and died at peace with God.
His wife, a most estimable and lovable woman, preceded him to the grave by
less than two months. she having died June 24, 1913.

HENRY F. HUNTER.

Henry F. Hunter, vice-president of the Bank of Greenbrier, is one of the
self-made men of the county. He received his education in the common schools,
completing his course of studies by graduating from the Greenbrier Military
Institute of Lewisburg in 1892, the same year his wife graduated from the
Lewisburg Seminary. After leaving the military institute, he accepted a minor
position in the Bank of Greenbrier and from that time rose gradually to the
prominent position he now holds. He was made cashier in 1907, and
vice-president January 3, 1916, holding both of these positions at the
present time.
The following is a meager record of the Hunter family of Greenbrier. John
Anderson and wife, who was Elizabeth Tinpin Davis, were married on January 7,
1761, in St. Maryland. They first took up their residence in a place called
the Narrows, on Anthony's creek, where they remained only a short time.
Moving to a place on Greenbrier river, near the junction of Howard's creek,
which land was granted to said Anderson for services rendered in the
Revolutionary army, in which war he bore the title of captain,
He built at this place a stone house, with walls of sufficient strength and
thickness to withstand an assault of the Indians, who were still a foe to
guard against. In the yard in front of this place is an Indian mound, which
had never been opened, unless it has been done since the place was sold to
C. F. Moore, trustee, March 1, 1899, by Carter B. Hunter, great grandson of
John Anderson. Here he spent the remaining years of his life, dying in 1817,
his wife preceding him in 1811.
On March 17, 1813, he married Elizabeth Walkup, the sister of Mrs. John
McElhenney, he having met her in the Manse at Lewisburg; being a frequent and
honored guest in that home. (See Miss Rose Fry's Book on Dr. McElhenney).
There were no children to this marriage. He served as sheriff of Greenbrier
county in the year 1789, having his appointment from the Governor.
By his first marriage there were born the following, namely:
Rebecca, Sarah, Margaret Brown, and Elizabeth Gratton (born
September II, 1778), Rebecca died in infancy; Sarah married
Colonel Ward and moved to Ohio; Margaret married James Ried,
December 25, 1790. These are the grandmother and grandfather
of Jonathan Mays.
John Anderson deeded him lands, part of which is the John Davis Arbuckle
place, where they made their home.
Elizabeth Gratton Anderson married Henry B. Hunter on January 31, 1810. He
was a native of Augusta county and in direct line of Surgeon John Hunter.
(See book, BiographkaJ Dictionary, by Rev. J. L. Blake, D. D., as to his
record.) John Anderson gave them as their portion the land on Greenbrier
river, where they lived and reared their family. This land, at the death of
Mrs. Hunter, went to John A. and Henry Fielding Hunter. The children were,
namely: Rebecca Dent, who died in her thirteenth year; Eliza S. Turpin, who
married Alexander W. Davis on April 25, 1833; John Anderson, first, who died
in infancy; John Anderson, second, and Henry Fielding Hunter, born February
19, 1821.
John Anderson Hunter was born April 15, i8i8. He received his elementary
education under Dr. McElhenney in the academy at Lewisburg, took his degree
at Washington College (now Wash-ington and Lee University). He returned home
and read medicine with Dr. Moorman for three years. He then entered the
University of Pennsylvania, graduating with high distinction. Returning from
college, he took up the practice of medicine at Blue Sulphur Springs, the
then famous summer resort. After several years' practice he came to
Lewisburg, where he lived and reared his family.
When his native State called her sons to sustain her rights and to rally to
the defense of the great principles of true constitutional liherty, he at
once offered his services, going out with Capt. Robert F. Dennis, in the
twenty-seventh Virginia regiment, as surgeon, and so distinguished were his
services in the regiment that he was made medical director of the army.
In the long list of distinguished surgeons in the Confederate army none
contributed more unweariedly to improve and complete the system of medical
and hospital discipline inaugurated by the surgeon-general, a system which
for order and symmetry and judicious arrangement has no parallel in the
annals of war.
John A. Hunter married Rebecca Agnes Dickson, January 3, 1859, the daughter
of Robert and Sarah Renick Dickson, and was born and reared at Locust Hill,
near White Sulphur Springs, which is now owned by the children of her
deceased brother, Henry Frazier Dickson. Mrs. Hunter died April 24, 1917, at
Lewisburg, John A. Hunter having died on April 17, 1873.  To this union were
born Sarah Renick, wife of Henderson Bell, Jr., and died March, 1897;
Copeland Hunter; Elizabeth Gratton, married R. W. Cabell, who died in
November, 1913, and married to A. D. Guthrie, December 23, 1915; lives in
Kanawha county; Henry F. Hunter married Mary Thressa Stratton (daughter of
James H. Stratton and Anna Nelson Handley-see Book of Strotois,Vols. 1 and 2,
Hattie G. Stratton, Tennessee) on November 19, 1896. To this union were born
Rebekab Nelson Hunter, James Stratton Hunter, and Marion Gratton Utunter, who
died in infancy.
