MINNIE (DEPUTY) LEWIS was born in 1865, daughter of Sol-
    DEPUTY       omon and Lucretia (Pierson) Deputy  of  Jennings  County, Ind.
                 Solomon Deputy was the  oldest  son  of  William and Cassandra
                 (Gasaivay) Deputy. William Deputy was born in 1807  in  Wood
  County, Va., son of Solomon and Sarah Deputy, who came to Indiana  in  1810,
  the first  settlers  of  Jennings  County.  William  Deputy left several "Old
  Settler's Speeches" in which is to be found a wealth of early history.
  These speeches are to be found in the Smith Momorial Library of the Indiana
  Historical Society section of  the  State  Library.  The  father  of William,
  Solomon Deputy, was born in Sussex County,  Del.,  son  of  Sylvester and Es-
  ther (Hudson) Deputy. The ancestor of Sylvester Deputy came from  Wales  in
  1658 and was an Original Landed Proprietor of  Cedar  Creek  Hundred,  Sussex
  County, on Delaware Bay. The ancestors of Esther  Hudson  Deputy  came  first
  to Accomac County, Va., and were land owners there as  early  as  1634.  The
  great grandfather of Esther Hudson came into Sussex County, Delaware.
       LUCRETIA (PIERSON) DEPUTY was born in 1836  in Scott County, Ind., the
  daughter of James  Weathers  and  Lucretia  (Morgan) Pierson.  James Weathers
  Pierson came to Scott County in 1818 from Fleming County, Ky.  In the 1820's
  he built one of the first mills  in  Vernon  Township,  Jackson County, Ind.,
  at Slate Ford, east of Crothersville.  He was born in 1794, the son of
  Shadrack and Rachel  (Clinch)  Pierson.  Shadrack Pierson was  one  of  trip-
  lets -- Shadrack, Mesheck, and Abednego Pierson, born in 1754, in Culpepper
  County, Va.  During the winter at Valley Forge, Shadrack's feet were frozen,
  which caused him to be a cripple for the rest of his life.
       LUCRETIA (MORGAN) PIERSON was born in 1807 in Bourbon County, Ky.,
  daughter of David and Sarah Morgan.  She came with her parents to Scott
  County, Ind,. in 1822. David Morgan was born  in Huntsville,  Ala.,  a rela-
  tive of John Hunt Morgan.  According to a story  handed down in  the  family,
  John Hunt Morgan, on his raid through  Indiana, stopped  to  visit  with  his
  relative, Reece Morgan, of Lexington, Ind., a son of  David  and  Sarah  Mor-
  gan. During the visit  his  men  were  helping  themselves  to Reece Morgan's
  horses, chickens, and other property, all of which had to  be  returned  when
  General Morgan learned about it,
      DAVID MORGAN descended from David Morgan who came with his parents
  from Wales to Bucks County, Pa.  The sister of this David Morgan was Sarah
  Morgan, who married Squire Boone, and was the mother of Daniel Boone.

Note by Dennis Nicklaus: I believe the stated relationship to 
John Hunt Morgan is completely false.  I also don't think the
alleged relationship to Sarah Morgan Boone can be substantiated.
