Norris Clark Lewis (1817-1864) was a Confederate Civil War soldier.
But he was NOT the same Clarke Norris (1840-1896) .who "joined as a private in Company G, 1st Regiment of Missisippi Cavalry, enslisted by his cousin Capt. Wier," as an erroneous U.D.C. record stated. Company G was the Noxubee Cavalry Company raised in Noxubee County. The Enterprise Guards, Company B, 14th Mississippi Infantry, was raised by Capt. Robert Stuart Wier (second cousin of Norris Clark Lewis's mother), and the first Mississippi unit to volunteer in the Civil War, April 18, 1861.
Norris Clark Lewis (1817-1864) was a private in the 3rd Alabama Reserves, Company I.
Company Muster Roll dated Aug 9, 1864 by Captain Dial in Mobile Alabama:"He mustered at Mobile for the period of August to September and was never paid. It is not known if Norris was transfered to the 63rd Alabama Infantry along with some of the 3rd Regiment, Company I. I believe he died in late 1864 prior to the 3rd Regiment transfer to the 63rd Infantry."
His grave was not marked in the 1960s when some of his grandchildren were looking for it, according to an old lady in Gordo, Alabama in 1980. She told me he died in Pickens County during the Civil War when he was home on leave. Several of the Lewises thought he was buried at Mt. Olivet where his wife was later buried in 1892, though with no marker couldn't be certain.
A Nov. 11, 2005 email from a relative to Gary Lewis says the same thing. From the email, it is not clear, whether Norris Lewis died at his own home or if he was the Lewis who died at Dr. Shockley's home in Raleigh, Alabama:
"My Dad said Poppa Lewis (Lewis Alexander Norris) told him that a Dr. Shockley who lived in Raleigh (Ala.) told him about a Lewis man dying at his house. He said he was kin to Wilson. I think (what) he meant was he had relatives in Wilson county and he would said something about Norris etc. The DR. had to have treated him after the war because he was in the army serving as a first aid man.
"Last night I was reading about the Battle of Mobile and found a diary that had been written by a woman. She wrote about the day by day battle and the Confederates troop leaving town. I thought I might find something about company I being there. But never did find anything about company I. But I found out about the weather. She said as the troop were leaving town it was raining.
Norris was at Carrollton for a bivouac. He was sick and the captain was sending all home who could be treated there. Norris went home and the MPS went and told him to report back. While on the way He turned around and went home and dies there. My Aunt Clarence said poppa (Lewis Alexander Norris) told them that's what he was told. So company I was in Mobile when the troops left(.) that explains how he got Pneumonia from the rain in Mobile.
"A lot of times I wish he had asked where his Dad was buried and most of (all) I wish my grandmother had ask Aunt Clem. She was the youngest child in Margaret Lewis family and would have known about where he was buried."
Some one else in the family quoted Newt Lewis as saying "Clark Lewis lived in Corinth, Mississippi, for a time and when war looked eminent he moved back to Alabama to live near family." He also said Norris Clark Lewis died when his son Thomas "was about six months old."
