Individual Details

Iverson Lewis from Lewisville in King & Queen Co was converted out of the Anglican Church, Stratton Major Parish to the Separate Baptists. John Waller, pastor of the Lower Spotsylvania Church was preaching in adjacent Middlesex Co in 1770 and periodically visited in King & Queen Co. Iverson went to hear him and was converted and baptized about 1771, possibly by Waller himself. Waller may have been a brother of Iverson's aunt-by-marriage, Mary Waller who had married Zachary Lewis Jr.

Iverson Lewis continued to lived in Lewisville but he pastored and planted churches in King & Queen, Middlesex & Gloucester County. In Gloucester he started churches in three of its four parishes. Lewisville is located between Exol and Dragon Run Swamps and is where the Exol Baptist Church was organized in 1775 by John Waller with 30 members. Iverson Lewis was the first pastor and continued until his death.

Iverson was married three times and had children by each marriage.

Mathews Co was formed from Kingston Parish of Gloucester in 1791.
