Notes:
Research Notes:
Several sites show him to be married to Elizabeth Click
born 5 Mar 1783 Shenandoah Virginia; died 1850 Blount Co, VA.
But tracking this through, it seems to be an error and that Elizabeth was married to a Joseph Brown, apparently on 10 Apr 1803 in Washington Co, TN.
Here's the study on her:
There's a site on Ancestry
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/11353626/person/999551801
shows Click's parents, headstone of George and son Benjamin (not her headstone) but has a nice history article on her family (Gluck/Click -they were German) but the article does not say who she married.
Shows kids Andrew, Daniel, George, John, Benjamin, Daniel
Shows 2nd marriage to Mary Hunter (no parents, no b.d., d.d.) on 28 Mar 1792 Greene Co TN. Has marriage record, but just married Mary Hunter m George Brown. So, this George?
Shows kids Obedience 1782 (that's 10 yrs before marriage, so something is wrong on that) and Daniel 1793-1848
(seems several sites have same thing - lots of copying apparently - none show a documentation that I found)
I also found a site on Ancestry
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/32809897/person/18334196837
that has Elizabeth Click (also not documented)
married to Joseph Brown (1782 VA -1860 Blount Co TN).
Shows his parents as:
Benjamin Brown 1750 VA-1828 Johnson Co TN
Susannah Cooper 1745-1773
don't know how or if Joseph is related to George.

[family tree 000.FTW]
The first tax list in Washington Co Tennessee we find him on is 1787, however in 1785 Greene County, Tennessee I find what appears to be a son of Lewis, named William Click. This places for the first time our Click family in Tennessee within the next year from leaving Shenandoah Co. Virginia
NOTE: WURTTEMBERG, DURLACH, GERMANY WHICH IS SOUTH DOWN THE RHINE RIVER FROM DANNSTADT,(ALSO IN THE PALATINATE SECTION), LUDWIGSHAFEN, GERMANY A SHORT DISTANCE. THEY MOST LIKELY CAUGHT A BOAT HEADED UP THE RHINE FROM WURTTEMBERG. THE TRIP THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO MAKE WAS UP THE RHINE TO ROTTERDAM IN SMALL BOATS WHICH WAS AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT JOURNEY USUALLY TAKING 6 TO 8 WEEKS IN VERY CRAMPED AND UNSANITARY CONDITIONS. FOOD AND WATER SHORTAGES WERE VERY COMMON. THEN BOARDING THE SHIP "LYDIA" IN ROTTERDAM, WITH THE LAST PORT OF CALL BEING COWES, ENGLAND, A PORT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT THEN TO PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
ACCORDING TO BIRTH DATE PROVIDED BY GARY D. CLICK OF 23 MAR 1740/41, THIS WOULD HAVE MADE LEWIS ABOUT 8 OR 9 YEARS OLD WHEN HE CAME TO THE UNITED STATES.

REF: MANUSCRIPT OF MAE TWITCHELL - Letter dated 14 June 1972 from Mrs. Paris Hall, Route 2, Newport, Tennessee 37821, states a "family legend":
"Lewis Click came from Germany with two brothers, names unknown. Lewis Click was 19 at that time and fought in the Revolutionary War in 1776 with his two brothers, Lewis Click making and molding bullets". NOTE BY CAROLYN WHITAKER - After examining the records and the brief of Gary D. Click and David Carnahan in 1991, the above family legend would seem to warrant some note. It is possible the age was possibly "9" and not "19" as stated in the legend, which would be an accurate age for his arrival in the United States with his parents.
The next issue involved in the manuscript makes this note: taken from the book "Across the Years" by Joseph Paul Glick - "The personal property tax records of Shenandoah County, Virginia for the years 1782 - 1784 give the name of one LEWIS GLICK with personal property including horses and cattle. No land, however, was listed in his name. It would appear that he was a young man operating a farm with considerable property, but his name does not appear AFTER 1784. (IN THE ORPHAN COURT RECORDS OF LANCASTER CO. PA - he lists Lewis Click's sister moving to Virginia which would establish family already living in Virginia at this time)
The 1787 Tax List of Washington County, now in the private collection of Mr. Paul M. Fink of Jonesboro, Tennessee, shows Lewis Click as paying tax on 200 acres of land and paying two white poll taxes. He continued paying a poll tax every year until 1793, after which he paid tax only on the 200 acres; he did not pay a poll tax after 1793. No one over the age of 50 years was required to pay a poll tax; therefore, we can speculate that Lewis Click became about 50 years of age in 1793, and thus we can conclude he was probably born circa 1743. (This would make a close match with the birth date of our Lewis according to records Gary D. Click found in Germany)

Note by Carolyn Whitaker: I have checked the Tennessee State Library and Archives and they do not have a will listed for Lewis. Mae Twitchell did not uncover a will in Washington Co. Tennessee either. However, this record shows there was a will at one time.
