Family of My Great Grandmother Rhoda Ann Lewallen Young
Rhoda Ann Lewallen was born December 15, 1828 to the parents of Andrew L. Lewallen and Malinda Elizabeth Davis Lewallen. Andrew and Malinda were both born in North Carolina. They were married November 14, 1814 in Roane County Tennessee.
Andrew was born October 7, 1793 in Wake County , North Carolina and moved with his parents in 1811 to Roane County at the age of seventeen. Parents of Andrew were Anderson Grant Lewallen and Lucy Rice Lewallan of Prince Edward County, Virginia. At this point , we have been unable to discover any ancestors of Lucy Rice Lewallen.
Andrew was a tall , slender Methodist Minister and also a farmer. He passed away November 30, 1873 in Scott County , Tennessee.
Malina Davis Lewallen was born April 1, 1792 in North Carolina to Joseph and Elizabeth Davis of Virginia. Malinda died April 11, 1876 in Scott County, Tennessee.
Andrew and Malinda are both buried in the Carpenter Cemetery on Nydeck Road near Wolf Creek and White Oak Creek In Morgan County, Tennessee. Their headstones are clearly marked.

Elizabeth Lewallen married Matthew Young and after she passed away, Matthew married her younger sister Rhoda Ann Lewallen. Matthew had twelve children between the two sisters. Rhoda Ann was my Great Grandmother though and she and Matthew raised all the children together.
Matthew’s brother also married Nancy Lewallen , so this made Nancy’s children and Elizabeth’s and Rhoda Ann’s children all double cousins.
