More on Lewisville. This includes info from Oregon Post Offices:

"Lewisville was named for Mary (b c1823), and David R. Lewis I (b c1814 KY),
pioneers of 1845. Their donation land claim formed the basis of the community,
which was located just north of Luckiamute River, about five miles southwest
of Monmouth. By the 1980s, nothing remained to mark its location. Lewisville
post office was established in April 21, 1868, with Abraham Wing first
postmaster. Wing was born in Poland in 1838, and was living in Lackemute at
the time of the 1870 Census. The Lewises, who lived in Lackemute at the time
of the 1870 US Census, were the parents of David R. II (b c1845 MO), James H.
(b c1849 OR), Eliza (b c1853 OR), and Mariah (b c1855 OR). In the Hart
Cemetery near Lewisville is the grave of James A. O’Neal, who came to Oregon
with the Wyeth Party in 1834, and who served as chairman of the second “Wolf
Meeting,” held on March 6, 1843, and as a member of the legislative committee
appointed by the meeting. On February 28, 1905, the Lewisville post office
closed to Monmouth."
