Message Board Post:
I am very interested in comparing notes with you on Colonel John
McGee. He was my 6th great grandfather. His daughter by his
first wife, Nancy Ann McGee (c.1753-1832), married Robert
Lindsay (d. 1801) in 1772. Their son William Lindsay
(c.1777-1841) married Elisabeth Briggs (c.1784-1871) in Feb.,
1807. Their daughter Guilianna Lindsay (Dec. 29, 1807-1885)
married Elswick S. Field (born c. 1807/8) in 1831. Their son
John Andrew Field (1846-1883) married Mary Adeline Wilkinson
(1846-1906) in 1865. Their son Ernest Marion Field (1866-1904)
married Mary Rhetta Bell (1862-1947) in 1888. Their son John
Levi Field (1902-1963) was my grandfather. I never knew him as
he died before I was born.
I was also interested to see that your name is Julian, as that
name has early connections with my Field line in Randolph &
Guilford Counties. Elswick Field, listed above, was the son of
Jeremiah Field (c. 1764-1830) and Eleanor Sherwood. Jeremiah was
the son of William Field, Jr. (born before 1727-d. 1805) and his
wife Lydia, maiden name unknown. William Field had a brother
Joseph (born after 1727, died c. 1780) who married Lydia Julian.
After Joseph's death, Lydia married an Armfield. For a long
time, because two brothers married ladies named Lydia, I thought
the Julian line was in my ancestry.
Best Regards,
John Field Pankow
Asheville, NC

It is a question very often discussed of late as to whether the
hour makes the man or the man the hour. To a student of the
history of Virginia an answer is very soon given, for since the
settlement of Jamestown, in 1607, which was virtually the birth
of this country, there has never arisen a crisis of any kind
when Virginia, our mother State, has not had one or more of her
sons ready to meet it. When the hour arrives the man appears. We
may search the pages of history in vain for a nobler or as noble
a group of men as Washington and his patriot Virginians in 1776.
The Lewis family of Virginia is one of the most distinguished
families in the State. It is connected by marriage with many of
the best-known names, such as Washington, Marshall, Fielding,
Merriweather, Daingerfield, Taliaferro and others. The men of
the family from the time when they first settled in the colony,
about the middle of the seventeenth century, have been men of
action and distinction; they have won for themselves the most
remarkable record as soldiers. It is recorded on the tombstone
of "Pioneer John" that he furnished five sons for the
Revolution. There were five colonels in the Revolution-Colonel
Nicholas, Colonel Fielding, Colonel William, Colonel Charles and
Colonel Joel-and quite a number of majors and captains. The
Lewises also won a gallant record in the War of 1812, the
Mexican War and in the Confederate States Army.
The Lewis family were originally French Huguenots, and left
France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685. Three
brothers-namely, William, Samuel and John-fled to England. (See
Smiles' "History of the Huguenots.") Shortly afterwards William
removed to the north of Ireland, where he married a Miss
McClelland; Samuel fixed his residence in Wales, while John
continued in England. Descendants of each of these three
brothers are supposed to have settled in Virginia.
About the middle of the seventeenth century four brothers of the
Lewis family left Wales. I. Samuel Lewis, went to Portugal;
nothing is known of him. II. William Lewis, d. in Ireland. III.
General Robert Lewis, d. in Gloucester Co., Va. IV. John Lewis,
d. in Hanover Co., Va.
1. I. William Lewis((1)), one of the Welsh brothers; d. in
Ireland. Married Miss McClelland and left one son: 2. I. Andrew
Lewis((2)). Married Miss Calhoun. Issue: 3. I. John Lewis((3)),
b. 1678, in Ireland. Married Margaret Lynn. 4. II. Samuel
Lewis((2)), b. 1680. No issue.

Mother: Susan D. ALEXANDER |
On February 3, 1846, he married Mary Virginia Royall, the oldest
daughter of Joseph E. Royall and Elizabeth Gwatkin, of Lynchburg
Va., who was born January 13, 1827. They had twelve children,
whose names will appear hereafter. (See Johnston, Callaway,
Royal Families, Chapter XX.)
On April 23, 1861, Robert E. Withers left an infant eight hours
old and went to Richmond, Virginia, in command of two volunteer
companies, and was mustered into the military service of the
State as Major of a Battalion. He served through the war, having
been appointed Colonel of the 18th Regiment of Virginia
Volunteers, which he commanded at the first Battle of Manassas,
and all the subsequent actions, until June 27, at Gaines' Mill,
he received several severe wounds, which disabled him from
active service. He was put on the Invalid Corps, and assigned to
the command of the Prison Post at Danville, Va., where six to
eight thousand prisoners were confined. This post he surrendered
to Gen'l Wright, of the 6th Army Corps, about two weeks after
Gen'l Lee's surrender at Appomattox.
In January 1866, he was appointed first editor of the Lynchburg
Daily News, which soon became the leading paper of that section
of the State.
He was nominated for Governor by the Conservative Convention in
Richmond in May 1868, and canvassed the State of Virginia in the
effort to secure the defeat of the "- Constitution," just
promulgated by the "Black and Tan Convention," as it was called,
and so successful was this canvass that the military authorities
refused to appoint a day for the clection to be held.
The next year he withdrew in favor of Gilbert C. Walker, who, as
a "Liberal Republican," had been nominated, and who was elected
by a large majority. In 1870, he accepted the place of General
Agent of the University Publishing Co., and canvassed the State
in the effort to secure the adoption of the school books
published by that company for use in the public free schools of
the State. A large majority of the counties in the State
selected them for use.
In 1872 he was unanimously nominated as Lieutenant Governor of
the State, after having closely contested, with Gen'l James L.
Kemper, the nomination for Governor.
He accepted the second place and canvassed the State, and the
ticket was elected by an overwhelming majority. In 1883-4 he was
elected, by the Legislature of Virginia, Senator of the United
States and served six years in that body.
He was defeated for re-election by Gen'l William Mahone, the
leader of the Readjuster Party in Virginia, who on entering the
Senate affiliated with the Republicans.
In 1885 Col. Withers was appointed Consul to Hong Kong, during
Mr. Cleveland's first administration, and served in that
position until the inauguration of Gen'l Harrison, when he
resigned and returned to Virginia. He served as States Elector
in the presidential canvass of 1868, when Gen'l Grant was
elected. He retired to private life in 1889, after his service
in Hong Kong. He had held all the offices in the various Masonic
orders of the State of Virginia, and was elected Grand Master of
Knights Templars of the United States, in San Francisco, in
1883, serving until 1886, when he came from Hong Kong to attend
the St. Louis Conclave. He was for some years one of the Board
of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution and has since 1871
been one of the Lay Deputies to the General Conventions of the
Protestant Episcopal Church at all the triennial sessions of
that body, except those held while he was absent from the United
States."
Col. Robert Enoch Withers and Mary Virginia Royall, his wife,
had issue:
I. Elizabeth Royall Withers. Married Dr. E. L. Carlet.
II. Susan Dabney Withers. Married Henry S. Williams.
III. Alice Chim Withers. Married Edmund Pendleton Goggin.
IV. Janet Ann Withers. Married first, Henry Cook; second, W. M.
Boyd.
V. Mary Virginia Withers, d. two and a half years old.
VI. Josephine Withers. Married John T. Read.
VII. Kate Massie Withers. Married G. Woodville Smith.
VIII. Betty Ellison Withers. Married Stephen Putney.
IX. Willie Clare Withers, not married.
X. Virginia Secessia Withers. Married John Y. Terry.
XI. Robert Edwin Withers. Married Mary C. Kent.
XII. Mary Thornhill Withers, d. aged seven years.
