AFRICAN AMERICANS AT ROCKETS LANDING EXHIBIT:
There is an exhibit at the Patrick Henry Building Lobby, of the Capital Rotunda in Richmond. The Exhibit is titled African
Americans at Rocketts Landing. The exhibit features,
Charles Lewis, one of my ancestors who served in the
Revolutionary War out of Fredericksburg. He and his brother Ambrose, were first Seamen, and then Foot Soldiers in the Revolutionary War. They fought at, The Battle of Camden South Carolina. After his service Charles Lewis moved to Richmond, and owned property at Rocketts Landing.
