Good Memorial, I am also a Lewis descendant, we spoke a while back:
Benjamin Duvall was age 59 at the census of St. John and Prince Georges (Rock Creek) Parishes, taken in 1776. His wife Anne was aged 45, and his household had the following: Mareen Duvall, age 12, Anne Duvall age 10, Rosey Galihan age 17; and Mary Bonifant age 12. No Slaves.
In 1778 he subscribed to the Oath of Allegiance in Prince Georges Co, MD before Magistrate Thomas Clagett. He removed to Virginia, before the close of the Revolution and settled in Bedford Co, where he and his sons Mareen and Benjamin Skinner, appear in the 1783 tax list. In 1786, his plantations fell in to the newly organized county of Franklin Co, VA.
