Old Hamilton Family Cemetery, Franklin County, Missouri "Hamilton Family Cemetery, located on bluff overlooking Mill Hill Rd. bridge on Oak Grove Church Rd., Lonedell, Franklin Co., MO. Hamilton, C. 10/17/1837 - 4/12/1885 Ennis, W.H. (no dates) Co. E, 26th INF. Lewis, Francis Hanna d. 11/10/1849 (4M) dau. of Thomas & Elizabeth Half of the cemetery is located on the property of Wm. P. Foster and half on the Walter Decker property. Although there are only 3 gravestones, there are at least 13 more graves marked with fieldstones." According to Helen Whitworth, C. Hamilton was Chesley Hamilton. She counted 20 fieldstones on her visit. I also visited the cemetery in 1980 and found only fieldstones. The cemetery is described in the 1958 Lewis family book as the "old Hamilton cemetery" located a quarter mile from the mouth of the Little Meramec River. It states that Daniel Lewis and wife and their son "Doc" Joshua Lewis are buried there. Daniel Lewis was born c. 1795 in NC and died 1844 in Franklin Co., MO. His wife was Abigail (nee Brown), b.c. 1801 in TN and died between 1850-60 in Franklin Co., MO. Their son Joshua W. Lewis was b.c. 1825 in AL or TN and probably died soon after Jul 1870 in Franklin Co., MO, when his will was dated. His wife was Diana Margaret (nee Lewis), who was possibly the daughter of William W. and Margaret (Bay) Lewis. I don't know what connection, if any, there was between Thomas & Elizabeth Lewis and Daniel & Abigail Lewis. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
