Lewis R. Stegman


Lewis R. Stegman , was a Union officer in the American Civil War. He later served as Sheriff of Kings County, New York.

Lewis R. Stegman was born January 18, 1839, in Brooklyn, New York City to Andrew Stegman and Meta Margaretha Rust, both German immigrants. Stegman was educated in public schools and attended Marpes Academy before studying law. Excessive studying, however, had an adverse effect on Stegmans health and he thus pursued work as a surveyor to allow himself more time outdoors. By 1861, he had returned to practicing law.
