  • Notes 
    • Though he was born in Anne Arundel Co., MD, he grew up in Rock Creek Parish which at that time included Prince George and Frederick Co., Maryland. Parts of Frederick Co. became Montgomery Co., Maryland which could account for the fact that he raised his own children in Montgomery Co., Maryland. He took the Oath of Allegiance in 1778 in Montgomery Co., in front of Magistrate Edward Burgess to verify his patriotism in the Revolutionary War. In the first census of the United States for Frederick Co., Maryland (1790), there were 2 males over age 16, 4 under age 16, 5 females and 6 slaves in his household. (CL-697)

      He was sued by Stephen Musgrave. On Nov. 18, 1791, the court decided in Stephen Musgrave's favor and ordered that Lewis' property, "Richardson's Range" be sold at public auction. Thomas Cornelius Howard was the highest bidder. Howard received the land formally on Dec. 26, 1795.

      Richard Morgan and his wife, the niece of Lewis Duval, also sued him. The court again went in the favor of Richard. This time he had to sell "Richards Range, Bristol and Rogues Harbour" for the settlement. On June 16, 1798, Isaac Webster received the properties.

      In the 1800 census for Montgomery Co., Maryland, he is probably the Lewis Duvall with the following information, although a Lewis Duvall Jr. is also listed which looks like it could be him instead. If he is the Lewis Duvall, he and his wife are over age 45. They have one son under age 10, one son and daughter from age 16-26 and 3 slaves. If he's the Lewis, Jr., he and his wife were over age 45. They had a daughter from age 10-16, one daughter and 2 sons from age 16-26 and 7 slaves.

      He appears to sell to his son John on Jun 15, 1815 for $493.00, "Richardson's Range" and "Roque's Harbour". He called himself Lewis Duval, Sr. at the time. His wife, Ann, waived her dower rights.

      He died without leaving a will before Sept. 15, 1817 when his estate was probated. Son Philip was named administrator.
