"Robert Lewis was the third son of Col. John Lewis and Elizabeth Warner. He was born at Warner Hall in Gloucester County, the family home of his mother. He married Jane Meriwether (1705-1757), the daughter of Nicholas Meriwether and Elizabeth Crafford. They had eleven children. Robert Lewis had land in Gloucester but he deeded that to his eldest son, John Lewis of "Halifax" and opted, along with his father-in-law, Nicholas Meriwether, to push out to unoccupied lands in the Piedmont area of Virginia. "Both took out grants for themselves of thousands of acres, being good judges of fertile, well watered selections." (Anderson, p. 62) In 1736, he obtained a grant for 4,000 acres on the Hardware River, and in 1740, he took a grant for 6,500 acres on Ivy Creek. Along with other grants, he accumulated a total of 21,660 acres, enabling him to bequeath land to all of his children. He also held an interest in 100,000 acres in Greenbrier County (now West Virginia). He built his home, "Belvoir," in the part of Louisa County that joined Albemarle County in 1761, apparently near the location of this cemetery. He served in the House of Burgesses 1744-1746 and was County Lieutenant for Louisa County. After his wife's death, Robert Lewis married Elizabeth Thornton in 1761, grandmother of Meriwether Lewis. Elizabeth's 1st husband Thomas was a son of Jane Meriwether's brother David."--Find-a-grave

"MAROT, ELIZABETH "BETTY" (DENUCCIO) of Melbourne, FL, formerly of Warwick, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on January 8, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 76 years old. Betty is predeceased by her parents A. William and Loretta (Dolan) DeNuccio, and her brother Brigadier General William DeNuccio. She was the beloved wife of Richard Marot, her husband of 54 years. She left a legacy of love with her children Maureen Marot Edgerton of Auburn, ME; Sharon Marot Jagel of Glastonbury, CT; and Colleen Marot Mrowka and her husband Bill of Cheshire, CT; and grandchildren Amanda, Erika, Shelby, and Griffin Jagel; Kate and Cooper Mrowka; and Elizabeth and Julia Edgerton. She is also survived by her sister Carol Liebrich of Cranston, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. We will all miss her easy smile and warm and sunny disposition.
Born in Cranston, RI on February 11, 1939, Betty graduated from Cranston High School in 1957 and went on to earn bachelor's and master's degrees from Rhode Island College. She worked as a first grade teacher in the Cranston school system for 29 years before retiring in 1997. After retirement, Betty and Rick relocated to Lamplighter Village in Melbourne, FL where they developed many close friendships.
