YES, ZIMRI LEWIS IS THE SUBJECT OF THAT PASSAGE FROM THE HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY, ILLINOIS. ACTUALLY HE WAS SENTENCED TO PRISON IN JANUARY, 1864. HE WAS SENTENCED TO A YEAR IN PRISON, AND FINED $1.OO AND COURT COSTS. THIS WAS FROM A CHICAGO TRIBUNE ARTICLE DATED 30 JAN 1864. ACCORDING TO MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER - GRANVILLE LEWIS - ZIMRI DIED SOMETIME BETWEEN 1875 AND 1878. ZIMRI'S NAME HAS BEEN BUTCHERED THRU-OUT THE YEARS. BUT HE APPEARS AS ZIMRI LEWIS IN A COUNTY HISTORY OF OWEN COUNTY, INDIANA AND ON THE 1840 CENSUS FOR OWEN COUNTY. IN 1868, ZIMRI IS SHOWN AS OWING A NOTE TO THE BANK IN LOUISVILLE, ILLINOIS. ACCORDING TO MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER, ZIMRI TRIED TO SWIM ACROSS THE LITTLE WASBASH AT FLOOD-STAGE. HIS BODY WAS FOUND TANGLED IN THE ROOTS OF A TREE. HE PROBABLY WAS BURIED IN THE LANDRETH CEMETERY IN LARKINSBURG TOWNSHIP..
IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ON ZIMRI AND HIS FAMILY, LET ME KNOW.
