http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?Neriah,Mary,Moss::lewis::12164.html John Lewis had a lot of sons - big, tough and many thought ruthless. It is said people were afraid to confront these men. They were also hard working and had many friends. There were stories handed down about the families and many can be found in books in the Randolph County history at the Ashboro Library.
http://allredfamily.com/naomiwise.htm These sons of John and Priscilla were handsome, too, quick of temper, and ready with gun, knife, or fist to a degree remarkable even among the roughest of the brandy-distillers and fur-trappers of the Deep River settlements.
