  Incorporated in December of 1828, Columbus' first election was held Jan. 1, 
1829 and Ulysses Lewis was its first Intendant (mayor). A descendant of 
Fielding Lewis of Virginia who was married to George Washington's sister Betty, 
Lewis was described as "sternly upright and just, with a courage for any 
emergency." 
  He later was Judge of the County (now Probate) Court of Russell County for 
many years, and was "one of the best and most satisfactory county officers in 
the State," according to John H. Martin's History of Columbus -1828-1865.
