L. Plummer Lewis was born in 1852 in Stewart County, TN. His mother was Mary 'Ross' Lewis (1825-after 1880) who was first married to John Davidson Lewis (1812-1846) on 5 August 1844. She married William G. Morris (1811-1881) on 12 September 1860 after the census was taken. She and John Davidson Lewis had one daughter, Martha, born in 1845. She and William G. Morris had two daughters, Susan born in 1863 and Missouri born in 1864.

Mary's parents were Rev. Samuel C. Ross and Elizabeth (Betsy) 'Wallace' Ross.

John Davidson Lewis is buried in the G.W. Lewis cemetery in the Indian Mound area of Stewart County, TN. Here is his FindaGrave memorial link... https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/176970973/john-davidson-lewis.

I have found no records of where William G. Morris and Mary 'Ross' Lewis Morris are buried.

Records on Mary 'Ross' Lewis Morris were found in Stewart County Archives.

(Note: I had formerly posted some information about L. Plummer Lewis' biological father. After some research I'm unsure of the validity of what I was told. I will continue to research what I was told for verification. Until then I do know that neither John Davidson Lewis or William G. Morris are his biological father. )
