I assume it was this Lewis Burwell as they were roughly the same age, and vaugely connected by marriage (see under John Spotswood).
Lewis married Anne Spotswood, daughter of John Spotswood and Mary Dandridge, on 24 Mar 1788. (Anne Spotswood died on 14 Feb 1789.)
Lewis next married Elizabeth Harrison on 13 Nov 1789.
