Lewis Family of Sharp Top Mountain
When the Lewis family arrived in Georgia, they were counted in the 1850 Census in Roswell District, Cobb County. From there they moved into Gordon County and from there to Pickens County, Georgia, in the Sharp Top Mountain District.
Sharp Top Mountain lies in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Pickens County, Georgia. It stands 2.450 feet high and is shaped into a point. Luke E. Tate said the mountain is “steeple-like-shaped” (History of Pickens County).
Many have said that those who lived at Sharp Top in the old days were hearty stock who braved the cold wind and the harsh conditions. It was during these hard times the Lewis family moved to Pickens County.
Generation No. 1
1. Harbard Lewis was born Abt. 1801 in North Carolina1, and died Aft. 1880 in Pickens County, Georgia. He married (1) Martha in North Carolina. She was born Abt. 1805 in North Carolina, and died Aft. 1850 in Georgia. He married (2) Julia Gravely. She was born Abt. 1835 in Virginia2.
In the 1840 Census, Wilkes County, North Carolina, one Harbert Lewis is listed. The number of males and females in his household appears to be nearly the same as those listed with Harbard Lewis in the 1850 census. No proof has been found thus far which identifies Harbert Lewis in Wilkes County, North Carolina, as the Harbard Lewis who went to Georgia. It seems very possible they were the same person.
Harbard and his family removed to Cobb County, Georgia sometime between 1845-1850 after the birth of Andrew who was born about 1845 in South Carolina. In 1850, Harbard’s occupation was listed as Labourer. In 1870, Harbard was living alone in Fairmount, Gordon County, Georgia. In the 1880 Census, it was reported that Harbard could neither read nor write and had married after the death of Martha.
