  • Notes 
    • 1. One source lists Lewis' birth date as 1768 in Virginia and April 21, 1854 death date in Pickens, South Carolina.

      2. Lewis migrated westward from Pickens County, westward across the state of North Carolina and into Pendelton District, South Carolina. The original family scattered in many directions. Lewis and Hardy Gilstrap were together in Duplin County, North Carolina in the 1800 Federal census and are also shown in the 1820 Federal census of Pendelton District, South Carolina. Lewis Gilstrap owned property in the Wolf Creek section of Pickens County, South Carolina in 1812. (Anderson County Court House records, deed book L-310 dated March 23, 1812, 250 acres). Also, he sold Wiley Gilstrap 146 acres of what appears to be the same tract of land (Deed book L-348, April 19, 1819). In the 1850 Federal census of Pickens County, South Carolina, Lewis Gilstrap is shown living in the area of Pickens county that we now know as Little Eastatoe Valley. There he is shown living between James Winchester and John Gravley in the agricultural Federal census dated 1850 and the records seem to indicate that he owned a farm since he is shown owning livestock, oats, tobacco, Indian corn, etc. Joseph Gravley is Lewis Gilstrap's and Elizabeth Maxwell Gilstrap's son-in-law. He married Elizabeth Ann Gilstrap. It is believed that Lewis Gilstrap and son Bright Gilstrap Sr. are buried in an old cemetery there in the Little Eastatoe Valley that was known in early times as Old Friendship Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
