"PVT - 1 VA Regiment - Revolutionary War"
Davis, Lewis Cookson, died at his residence in Autauga County, Alabama on the third day of February 1835. The Rev. Lewis C. Davis in the 79th year of his age. Mr. Davis was a native of Hanover County, Virginia and enlisted in the service of his country in 1777 and served faithfully three years, the time for which he enlisted. He joined the main army under General Washington a few days after the battle of Germantown. He was with the army in winter quarters at Valley Forge. In the spring he marched into New Jersey. In June he was at the Battle of Monmouth: from there to White Plains, thence to King's Bridge in New York; thence to Bound Brook in New Jersey into winter quarters. In the spring of 1779 under General Wayne he marched to West Point: thence to Stony Point and aided in storming the fort at the point of the bayonet: from thence to Morristown where he received his discharge.
Mr. Davis was a venerable, pious and useful minister of the Baptist Church for more than forty years. Such were his Christian attainments that death had lost all its terrors to his mind; to use his own expression, he waited anxiously for his hour of dissolution, that he might be "absent from the body, and present with the Lord". He has left numerous connections and a large circle of acquaintances to mourn their lost. In tracing the life and character of such a man, much might be said in his praise; but it is sufficient to say, that he faithfully served his country, his God, and his church. He died in peace in the full assurance of faith. He rests from all his labors. Rest, rest, weary dust. Rest weary spirit with the Father of Spirits and live forever!!!"
