Lewis S. Duke1,2,3

M, ID# 11434, (a 1765 - 1818)
Father:Nehemiah Duke (a 1730 - 1781)
Mother:Elizabeth Brown (c 1730 - 30 Nov 1813)
     Lewis S. Duke was born a 1765 at South Carolina. He was the son of Nehemiah Duke and Elizabeth Brown. Lewis S. Duke married Nancy Sims a 1804.4 Lewis S. Duke died in 1818.
      Lewis Dukes is possibly a son of Nehemiah Dukes based on his DNA ties to Robert and Samuel Dukes, sons of Nehemiah and Elizabeth Dukes. Based on Lewis' estimated 1765 birth date of birth, which would have been when Nehemiah was married to Elizabeth, Lewis is likely Nehemiah's illegitimate son. Lewis Duke sued the Elizabeth Duke Estate in 1815 asking for a portion equivalent to that of Elizabeth's three children. In an 1818 settlement, a judge awarded Lewis an amount just one dollar less than the amounts received by Elizabeth's offspring. In a copy of the settlement Lewis appears to have the middle initial S; the original has not been found. According to her probate records, Elizabeth Duke had two legal sons, Robert and Samuel, which explains why she left Lewis out of her will. In the Final Accounting of Elizabeth's estate her son, Robert Duke received a portion (14.22.5 ) equal to the others, so Lewis is not likely Robert's son.


Dukes family researcher Tony Cox noted three possible ways to explain what Lewis received in the settlement: (1) Elizabeth owed Lewis money for goods or services received, (2) Lewis received a portion as an illegitimate son or grandson, likely of Nehemiah; this second option is difficult to argue but possible given the laws and conventions of the time, or (3) Lewis' father was an unnamed loyalist son of Elizabeth and Nehemiah Duke(s) who did not survive the Revolutionary War, which was less likely in 1815 than it would have been in 1790 or 1800 which is supported by the 2016-2018 Dukes Family atDNA Study. Unproven arguments suggest Lewis is Lewis Parham Duke(s) from NC; the idea Lewis was a trader or peddler who visited the SC area from time to time has appeal. There are scant records for him, most if not all of them after 1808.

Lewis Duke owned a 50-acre tract on in the Fairfield District, SC bordered by properties owned by Moses Duke, Samuel Duke and Charles Lewis. Lewis signed a deed of gift in 1808 promising to divide the 50 acres and give each son 25 acres.

On 7 Nov 1818 Lewis deeded his land and possessions to his sons; "...for the natural love and good will that I do bear unto my natural Born sons Enoch Duke and Darling Duke...." The land was noted as being on Twenty-Five Mile Creek in Fairfield bounded by the lands of Moses Duke and Edward Sims. The witnesses were George Watts and Edward Sims.

According to the research of Tony Cox, the land and possessions transferred to Lewis' two sons were probably those provided to Lewis Duke earlier by his wife's grandfather.
