ISAAC LEWIS, Sr., born in Virginia, March 13, 1802, is a son of Isaac
and Nancy (Overfield) Lewis, natives of Virginia.  He came to Kentucky
with his parents in 1804 and settled in Madison County.  He married,
March 24, 1824, Mahala Rucker, of Shelby County, a daughter of Joshua
Rucker.  Having no children of their own they took Mary J. Robinson, at
the age of fourteen months, and raised her.  She married, and had one
child, Lulu Mitchell, and when Lulu was one year old Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
took her, reared her, and gave her a fine education at Shelbyville select
schools and at Finchville.  She is quite an accomplished lady, and
September 29, 1875, married Richard Sandusky, of Shelby County, a son of
Jacob and Nancy (Blaydes) Sandusky.  Three children were born to them:
Mary S., Ivan Earl and Maggie L.  Mr. Lewis is well known throughout
the county, and every one calls him Uncle Isaac.  He was very successful
at farming as long as he engaged in that occupation, but when the war
closed he said the negroes were free and so was he, and from that day he
never worked.  He has been a great help to the community in which he has
lived, ever ready to render a neighbor financial aid, and now has many
friends, no enemies, and is universally esteemed.  He makes his homes
with Mr. and Mrs. Sandusky, who esteem him as a father.  He is a member
of the Baptist Church.
