Brunson Lorenza Lewis and Families

The Descendents of Brunson Lorenza Lewis and Sarah Frances Taylor
Brunson Lewis was quite a character. Apparently from a fairly wealthy family, Brunson chose to walk on the "wild side," and became rather infamous in central Florida as a reknown hell-raiser and downright "bad dude." But, he seemed to have repented in his old age and even began preaching later in life. Click HERE to see the Ballad of Brunson Lewis. Click HERE to see an oral history of Brunson Lewis. It is "highly probable" that Brunson is the son of William Lewis because of land transaction records in Darlington County leans in this direction. Sarah Frances Taylor Lewis died 11/30/1859.
