Fourteen companies, captained by their natural leaders, arrived first at the appointed rendezvous — Camp Union (Lewisburg, West Virginia), on the Big Levels of the Greenbrier; their campfires furnished a beacon for the tardier troops from Botetourt and Fincastle. Every man in one company of Augusta troops was said to measure above six feet in his moccasins. Col. Andrew Lewis being in general command, placed his particular division under the charge of Col. William Fleming, a skillful surgeon, an a man of culture, whose popularity with his men was unbounded."

1774 Dunmore’s War:1103, p. xvii. [Andrew] "Lewis, an experienced Indian fighter, had served throughout the French and Indian War side by side with Washington, and knew all the bordermen with whom he had to deal.

"Andrew Lewis was the eldest son and most experience soldier in the Southern counties, and to him, Lord Dunmore issued orders from his headquarters at ‘Greenway Court,’ in Frederick County, under date of July 24th, saying: ‘I desire you to raise a respectable Boddy of men and join me either at the mouth of the grate Kanaway or Whailen (Wheeling) as is most convenient for you. Forward this letter to Colonel William Preston with the gretest Dispatch as I want his assistance, as well as that of your Brother, Charles Lewis. I need not inform you how necesary dispatch is’."

Charles Lewis was first lieutenant in Captain Preston’s ranging company in West Augusta (1757-59), and during Pontiac’s War (1763) pursued, overtook, and defeated a native raiding aprty on the South Fork of the Potomac. He is known to have been out with Bouquet in 1764, but based his claims for land upon his services as a ranger (Draper MSS., 2QQ153. These lands were located in Kentucky, and were part of his heirs’ inheritance. As county-lieutenant for Augusta, he led its trops to the Point Pleasant campaign, where he was killed in the battle. His words, when he fell, are said to have been, ‘Push on, boys. Don’t mind me.’ (Draper MSS., 1R75). Charles Lewis was popular, and beloved by all the Western army; his loss was a general afflliction. He left five small children, whose descendants still live in the Valley of Virginia."

Born in 1735, he was but a young lad when his father disappeared, previous to 1749, on a journey to South Carolina, and was believed to have been killed by the Indians. In 1763 George was captain of a ranging company which was ambushed in pursuing Indians, and lost fifteen men. The next year he pursued a party of savages that had killed his step-father, John Trimble, and made captive his sister and half-brother. In this action he successfully rescued the prisoners. Several of the officers on the campaign of 1774 were his relatives — Col. William Chrisitan was his uncle, and Capt. Samuel McDowell his brother-in-law. During the Revolution in the South, he took an active part, commanding a regiment at Guilford Court House, and acting as a county-lieutenant of Augusta, 1781-83. He died at his home in Augusta County, about eight miles northwest of Staunton, in 1811."

Then came Captain John Dickinson’s company from the valley of the Cowpasture and Jackson’s rivers; Captains Alexander McClennahan and George Matthews arrived with their companies from Staunton; the company of Captain Andrew Lockridge came from Bullpasture River, now in Highland County; Captain John Lewis (son of Thomas) and Captain Benjamin Harrison reported with their companies from that part of Augusta, now included in Rockingham County; Captains George Moffatt and Samuel McDowell came with their companies from Southern Augusta — that part now included in Rockbridge County."
