Joseph Lewis died in Scott County in his �th year, approximately. (We are assuming that he died before Zelema remarried-� in August of 1854). So far as lmown his grave has not been located, but at least descendants can understand

� why it· ·was. never found in Cape C�ty-.

Incidentally, Joseph G. Lewis and Eli C·. Lewis, of'fic·ers in Compaey A, 8th Missouri Cavalry, Confederate Army (see Collage #2, p,16) were sons of' Joseph Cooper and Betsy Hitt Lewis.

ROMANCE . OF THE WIBERT CLAN (�GLISH SPICLLING OF WYBERT)

Romance of the Wibert f'run:i.ly as so far is ·known begins with a Thomas Wibert who wa� . . born in L_qndon on Lombard o� Lombardy St . His parents died when he was quite young . and left him under the guardianship of ri.n un�le , Much property was left to him, but his un�le, wishing to possess himself of it, sent 1'homas � .America by the Captain of a vessel . Thom.as said he saw . his i.mcle pay the Capto.in a sum of �onay, but on the arrival of the vessel at New York,· the Captain sold him for: .,his passage money to a man named Jacob Byce � or Bice, of Fiskill Duchess Co . Byce. took the boy Thomas, home with him and treated · biin as his own child; sent him to school wi:th .. his children and educated him until he was qualified to tea.ch school . He taught several. years in a piace. called "The Coon" . Thomas married a :. woman named Elisabeth Weaver by whom he had four. children : Fredric , John, Thomaa and Ca therl:ne .

. . . During the French and Indian . War, 1756-1 760, there came to his school .house,

three Englishmen, officers ,, who · had lost their way. He went � short . 9isto.nce with them to put them pn the right road and as they w�re leaving they asked his ntlIJle . . •'. . . On learning it, :they asked if he was on Englishman; · nn_q. on his saying that he came from England when he was thirteen years old they told him that a mo.n no.med Wibert •· had left a will (which was• on_ record) requesting that certain property should be · . given or restored to a nephew named Thomas Wibert who was somewhere in .America . The officers wished him to- go i�ediately . to �ngland with them, but ;J;� he was not willing to leave his family at once, they promised to write to him after reaching home, which they did and wrote 1:;hree times before he decided to go . He. went when his oldest son, Fredric was five yeD.Xs old, his second son, John, was . a.bout twenty months old; he was born in 1760 . So Thomas must have left home sometime in 1762 . .. or late 1761 .

After reaching Englnnd, he .wrote to his. wife and friends that the will ·was· as·

the off;�cers had represented, but -that other heirs opposed his claim nnd he mu;,t go to 1aw with them. After three years he wrote to his wife that he had gained his· suit and }¥ld received 1 6, 000 pounds sterling, 40, 000 dollars, half in goods and . . half in money and that he should start for home soon (naming a vessel in which he shoul.d . ��il) o.nd should reach there in J m1e . . . · .
