Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary 
War record of Lewis Cookson Davis.

The data pertaining to Lewis Cookson Davis furnished herein were

service in the Revolutionary War.

He was born in 1757 in Hanover County, Virginia, names of his parents

Brown’s Company, Colonels Parker’s and John Allison’s Virginia 
regiments, was in the battle of Chestnut Hill, wintered at Valley Forge, 
in the spring marched into New Jersey, was in the battle Monmouth, and 
at the storming of Stony Point was in Captain Quass’ company, Colonel

Four years after the Revolution he moved to Wilkes County, Georgia and 
lived there about thirty years, then moved to Morgan County, Georgia and 
lived ten years and then moved to Autauga County, Alabama.
