Biography notes for Mary Lewis
Mary was a daughter of Col. Robert Lewis and Jane Meriwether. Birth dates for Mary range from 1730 to 1735. She was not mentioned in the 27 Apr 1734 gift of slaves from her father, so the Society is tentatively accepting a date of about 1735. This makes her about 16 when she first married, so an earlier date is certainly possible.
Mary married Samuel Cobbs about 1751; they were the parents of three known children: Robert Lewis, Jane and Judith Cobbs.
Samuel died about 1758 and in Dec 1766 Mary married Waddy Thomson (~1725–1801) in Albemarle County. They were the parents of five known daughters: Ann Lewis, Mary, Mildred, Judith and Susanna.
Mary died in 1813 and is believed to be buried on the family farm on Ivy's creek in Albemarle County.

Waddy Thompson
Of the first known Waddy Thomson, grandson of Robert of New Kent, a fairly complete record is obtainable. He was born in Hanover county, Virginia, about 1725 and died in Albemarle county, of the same state, in 1801. His first wife was Elizabeth Anderson, daughter of Nelson Anderson, of Hanover. In the earliest records of Louisa county we find numerous allusions to this Waddy Thomson, who was a justice of the Peace there, and a member of the Louisa Committee of Safety. On the death of his first wife, he married Mary, daughter of Colonel Robert Lewis and Jane (Meriwether) Lewis, of "Belvoir," Albemarle county, Virginia, and widow of Samuel Cobbs, of Louisa county.
Waddy and Mary (Lewis) Thomson, with their family, removed from Louisa to Albemarle "where he was considered a man of high public esteem and was referred to for his fine judgment and probity, as evinced by the frequency with which his name appears in the family papers of his wide circle of friends and neighbors." [History of Albemarle County] 398
