THE GRAVE OF GENERAL ANDREW LENls.-Wessrs.
Editors feel sure that you will take pleasure in
aiding to correct error which exists relative to
the burial place of General Andrew Lewis, of
VirSnias most distinguished 1t has been pub
cly stated in more than one form, that his grave is
Bulord's, in Bedford county; and observe that
Mr. Backford, in his finely executed map of the Nir
gaia aud Tennessee Railroad, has marked point
ButOrds Depot, "the grave of General Andrew
Lewis In this Mr. Blackiord was only following
the public and generally received impression upon
the subject As General Lewis is to be honored with
place in the Washington Monument, at Richmond
and is therefore, historical character, it seems to
be due the truth of history that the place of his
burial should be ascertaincd and settled. As ! un-
derstand the facts of the case, General Lewis was
taken sick and died al the place indicated on Mr.
Blackford's map, but his body was brought to the
then county of Botetourt NOW Roauoke) and buried,
where his wife was also buried, on the land then
0tr1led by linn, but owned by \. Burwell, esq,
not far from S,len, Depot For this statement rely
upon the distinct recollection of Col Elijah McClana
ham, of Roanoke, now in his S7th year, who married
grand -dau gher of General Lewis, the daughter of
Col. Andrew Lewis of the Bent Mountain.
On Mr. Burwells farm there is an old burying
ground where many members Of the Lewis family
are buried though, with neglect which is a re-
proach to our country, there is no stone or other
mark to distinguish them. But there is unanimous
opinion in this community that that is the spot where
the remains of General Lewis rest.
Until better informed therefore, feel warranted in
stating that General Lewis grave is not at Buiords
but is the Salem Depot, on Mr.. Burwels farm
Yours, very respectfully,
f. JOHNSTON
