Lewis Southworth, also identified as Louis Southworth (1830–1917), was an Oregon pioneer who settled a donation land claim in 1880 near Waldport in the U.S. state of Oregon. Southworth was born into slavery and brought to the Oregon Territory by his enslaver, from whom he bought his freedom with cash, earned chiefly from his expertise with the fiddle or violin. Southworth lived or worked near Monroe, Jacksonville, and Buena Vista before settling along a small tributary of the Alsea River, where he farmed and engaged in other enterprises and civic undertakings. After his first wife died in 1901, Southworth bought a house in Corvallis, where he lived for the rest of his life and married his second wife.
