HISTORY OF SYCAMORE CREEK
RUFUS ALONZO DENNIS
JUNE 12, 1940
LAND OWNERS (PAGE 4)
"I have heard my father speak of a Mr. Shaw who once owned the
A. L. Hancock farm down on Clear Fork Creek and the Monroe
Hancock farm just above the Haley farm now owned by Jennie
Vickers, Shelia Jetten and J. J. Dodd. Mr. Shaw possessed a
large tract of land upon the Lick Branch. The log cabin house
was over across the branch opposite the beautiful Spout Spring.
Christopher Cooper got in possession of all this land in some
way. Mr. Cooper married Mary Adams. Cooper died and Richard
Hancock married his widow and of course she was the lawful owner
of the land. Mary and Christopher Cooper had no children. She
married Richard Hancock and had three children by him. A. L.and
C. C. were the boys and Alamenta the only daughter. The heirs
of Richard and Mary Adams Hancock heired all the land at their
death."

"Col. Nicholas Lewis, grandson and heir of Meriwether, built a
second main house which has since disappeared. Colonel Nicholas
Lewis (1728-1807) (uncle of the famous explorer Meriwether
Lewis) was a surveyor who served in several public roles
including sheriff, surveyor and magistrate.[4] The 1782 tax
records indicate he owned 33 slaves, 80 cattle and 17 horses.[5]
His neighbor and friend Thomas Jefferson paid tribute to him in
his writings for bravery in fighting the Cherokee Indians in
1776.
“This member of the Lewises, whose bravery was so usefully
proved on this occasion, was endeared to all who knew him by his
inflexible probity, courteous disposition, benevolent heart, and
engaging modesty and manners. He was the umpire of all the
private differences of his county, selected always by both
parties.”
As a neighbor and trusted friend, Thomas Jefferson entrusted
Nicholas Lewis with his financial affairs while he was minister
to France in 1787."
