Bio of Lewis Hampton in his own words:
16 Aug 1907
The writer was born in Gwinnett County, Georgia, June 1st 1821. My Father, 
Lewis Williams moved to North Georgia, among the indians. In 1841, I married 
to Miss Mary Camp of Walker County, Georgia. By this union there were born ten 
children: four boys and six girls. My wife died in 1863, during the war. I 
immediately, after her death, volunteered in the Rebel Army,in the 6th Georgia 
Cavalry Regiment, General Davidson's Division, Gen. Pegram's Brigade, under 
Col. John Hart's regiment,Captain N.C. Napier's Company. I was first Sergeant 
in the Company,and in 1864 was promoted to Orderly Sergeant until the close of 
the war. I am not ashamed of my war record; tried to obey my superior 
officers. I was paroled in Atlanta, Ga. in May 1865.
After the war I was married to Mrs Piety A Kirkland. By this union there were 
born six children:two boys and four girls.
My Grandparents were both named John Williams. My Father's Father was an 
Englishman, my Mother's Father was a Welshman. Both Revolutionary 
Soldiers,both at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis
