First Post Office in Jane Lew 

 1829

As described in "A History Of Lewis County" by Edward C. Smith in 1920.

The consolidation of the old settlements is shown best perhaps by the example of Hacker's creek, which in 1840 had about reached maturity as a community.
The first pioneers and their descendants had been reinforced by newer comers until the population of the valley was soon almost as great as it is at the present time.(1920 when the book was written)
The third post office in the county (Lewis County) was established at McWhorter's Mill with Fields McWhorter as Postmaster in 1829.

Note: Jane Lew was not known as Jane Lew until 1835
