      My grandmother Fairy (Hubbard) ROOP (1907) had two half-sisters,
      Valarie Lokey Beatrice BLEVINS (1911)
      Sara Lucredi Ellen BLEVINS (1913)
      After their mother's, Chloie (Hubbard) CHILDRESS' (1891-1920), funeral at White Top, VA, the grandfather, Memphis HUBBARD (1871-1969), of the two sisters took them to their father, Charlie BLEVINS. The only references that might help to locate the girls is that before the father and mother seperated, the father commuted between Washington/Grayson County, VA to Giles Co., VA where he worked in the coal fields. Memphis lived in Catawba Co, NC. Memphis as well as Charlie, were probably born in Wise Co, VA. And, Chloey lived aound Beckley, WV when she died.

      Information on any of these people or suggestions on how to find any of them, especially the two BLEVINS sisters would be greatly appreciated.

      In a family tree starting from George Edward Sizemore (b. 1750), I have 27 persons with the Blevins surname, starting from James Blevins (b.c. 1770) who married George's daughter Lydia. They had 10 children, lived in Ashe County, NC and many moved to south-west Virginia.

      The given names of the children were Wells, Mary, Elizabeth, Eli, James, George, Hester, Daniel, Armstrong, and Edward.

      I saw your list on the internet. I am a true Blevins. Stuff I know:

      1. in 1790 in Westerly, Rhode Island, there are about 60 blevins, in 1800, NOTHING. where did they go?

      2. I have a congenital blood disease (no, i'm not gonna die from it), and it was brought to the USA by a single female from France who settled in the maryland tidal basin. There are only about 500 ppl. in the USA with this. congenital heterozygous Methemoglobinemia. My dad has it, his dad had it.

      3. The oldest I know is: Jonathan Blevins from Georgia, born 1815, died in 1905 in Keller, Texas he is my gr.gr.grandfather. our line sort of goes to sleep somewhere between 95 & 100 and just don't wake up in the morning.

      4. I have a book tracing all the desecndants of this man to about 1972.

      My great grandmother's name was Paralee BLEVINS (b. c1859), her father was Anderson BLEVINS (b. c1830). Both were born in Alabama, possibly in Dallas Co.

      I have just started research on this branch of my tree and am seeking everything I can find which pertains to the BLEVINS...

      My great grandmother was a Negro and I never knew her since she was long gone before I ever was around. She married Jerry THOMPSON (b.1859, of S. Carolina) and they lived in Noxubee Co., Mississippi. Now, I have a couple of photographs of her and I knew my grandfather, Jerry THOMPSON, Jr. (b.1895) and there is an unmistakable Native American streak in there. Moreover, family legend has it that Anderson's father was a full blooded Cherokee while his mother, a slave, was also of Native American descent. How would I go about getting more information on this? I would appreciate any and all information, as well as helpful tips. Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

      p.s. I am also interested in John F. BLEVINS (b. c1828) of Dallas Co. He was a white physician...

      I am researching a Rebecca BLEVINS that married a Charles GARLAND. I would be interested in all you have about her (if in fact you think she matches the one below). I have met many people who are related through this line, but have not seen anything on Rebecca.

      3-Charles GARLAND (December 2, 1801-January 18?, 1871 Mitchell Co, NC) sp-Rebecca BLEVINS (1807-1870-80 Mitchell Co, NC)

      I also have the following BLEVINS:

      6-Mary Frances ARROWOOD (b. after 1872 d. November 19, 1918 Mitchell Co, NC)
      sp- ? BLEVINS

      3-Bridget (Biddie) GARLAND (b. June 25, 1805 TN d. Between 1840 &1845)
      sp-William BLEVINS (m. 1820)

      I think that Iam related, through Artimisia (Blevins) Shake, to a Lemuel and Lucinda (Taylor?) Blevins who were in Kentucky around 1800. I think Lemuel was born in North Carolina between 1775 to 1784. Does this tie in to the Blevins line you are linked to?

      My name is Danny Keith Blevins. I live in Van Lear ,KY ( you may have heard of it from the movie "coal miner's daughter").

      I have been researching my particular Blevins family for several years.

      My 4th great grandfather was Elisha Blevins (b.ca.1809 in Lee Co.,VA?). he married Alsey Tackett the daughter of Lewis Tackett and Susannah Sumpter. I believe Elisha's father might have been a William Blevins.

      I'm doing family history on Blevins also.
      Alford Blevins of Arkansas was my grandfather, b.1875.
      He married Myrtle Victor(y) of Kansas.
      Her parents were Ada Lewis and Washington Victory of Kansas.
      I have Cherokee indian but I dont know if its Alford or Myrtles' side.
      Alford and Myrtle had 8 children born in Ok.
      They lived for a while in Coal CO, OK.

      I've been checking out your Blevins page, and offer the following for possible inclusion there:

      My great-grandmother was Mary Ellen Blevins, born 23 Sept 1824 in Mt. Vernon, Bullitt Co., KY (now Mt. Washington). She married Peter Sharpe Dickinson in Bullitt Co., KY, in June, 1844.

      Her father was James Blevins (born about 1785, parents and place not yet known, died in late 1830 or early 1831, probably in Mt. Washington, KY). His wife's name was Mary--that's all I have at present on her.

      There were several other children in this family--another daughter, Ann, younger than Mary Ellen; and at least one son, James, born in 1830 or 1831. Ann and James were living with Mary Ellen and Peter Dickinson in Peoria, Ill., in 1850, where they appear on the federal census.

      Sometime after 1850 this younger James Blevins married a Charlotte somebody. Subsequently, according to family lore, he was a steamboat captain on the Mississippi and he went up with his vessel (literally) when it blew up on the river. But I have no verification of this. This James and Charlotte had several children, one of whom, in her 30s, was living with the widow Charlotte in 1900 in St. Louis, according to the census of that year.

      Mary Ellen Blevins Dickinson lived until 1903, and on the 1900 census is reported to have indicated that both of her parents were born in South Carolina. Thus far, I have had no luck locating South Carolina Blevinses in the census records of 1790 or 1800 or 1810. But they are fairly thick in NORTH Carolina. Could Mary Ellen have mis-remembered? I have not been able to make a connection between my James Blevins and any Blevinses in North Carolina--or anywhere else.

      So I seek information about both James Blevinses--the ancestory of the elder and the descendants of the younger.

      Would like any help anyone can give me on Mart Blevins and his family that migrated from Texas in 1885 to AZ, just in time to get involved in the Pleasant Valley War. I am trying to write a book on the subject and any help would be appreciated. Could you post this on your web pages where you think it would do the most good?

      Saw your web page. My father is Donald Dean Blevins, born in Johnson City, Tennesse. Since 1972 he's lived in San Marcos, TX. His mother, Mildred Greer (who died in October, 1996), was married to Robert Blevins (who died very early -- in his 30s or early 40s -- from a heart attack). Dad married Betty Jean Allen from GA (she died in 1992). They had three children: David Lee, born 3/4/55 in Tripoli, Libya, Africa (and currently in Pacifica, CA); Donna Jean, born 3/14/57 in San Bernardino, CA (and currently in Austin, TX); and Dennis Alan, born 9/22/65 in San Marcos, TX (and currently in Austin, TX).

      My dad's sister is named Roberta (Bobbie) and she currently resides in Jonesboro, TN. She had three children by two different husbands: Robert, born in New Jersey (and currently in Atlanta, GA); Beverly, born in new Jersey (and currently in Johnson City, TN); and Annie, born in Houston, TX (and currently in Fort Worth, TX). Before my mother died she got a lot of this information. My cousin, Robert Levin, who lives in Atlanta, GA, may have it. If I can be of help I will.

      My father's grandmother was Nettie Blevins, who ran a boarding house in Johnson City, TN. She married Jim Blevins. Nettie died in the mid-1980s, around 1984 or 1985.

      Children
      William #1605 b.___ ___1760
      John Blevins #1606 b. 1750 -1780
      James Blevins #1607 b. 1750 - 1780

      I am descended from the Blevins family That settled along Little River in Grayson County, Va. about 1770. Can you provided any information about John Blevins #1606 and James Blevins #1607. One of the original Blevins to settle here in the county was John Blevins. He may have been known as Jackey Blevins. John married Catherine Cox. Catherine was the daughter of Lt. David Cox. Any information that you might have concerning the Blevins that settled in Grayson County would be greatly appreciated.

      It is interesting to note that the Blevins of Grayson County settled where Little Rivers empties into New River. Many early settlers followed the New River into N.C. and Tenn.

      William H. Pixley died in 1863. He was murdered by bushwackers. When his sons Tom and Jamesreturned from the war, they took revenge and murdered their fathers murderers. They then changed their name to BLEVINS and left Mo. and Ks.

      James (Jim) Blevins lived in Fayetteville, Ar. and married a girl there. He also lived and had a farm in Osage territory in NE Oklahoma. His brother William bought land in 1903 in Crawford Co. Ar. We think he could have lived here also.

      If any of this ties in with any info you might have, please contact me.

      I have been researching my mother's family, Morrell, from Hickory Tree and Bluff City, Tn. I have researched the Morrell's back to Thomas Morrell, I. From England. My grandfather was John Blevins Morrell. My great grandfather was William Robert Morrell and he was married to Eliza J. Peters. I have traced her family also, back to Germany.

      Now, for my problem! I'm working on my great great grandmother Martha D. "Patsey" Blevins, b: Oct. 26, 1796. She married my gg grandfather Caleb Morrell, b: 9/1/1787 and married April 20, 1823. I can not find anything else about her as the court house in Sullivan County, Tn. burned during the Civil War and so did birth, marriage and death records. Would you'all have come across her name in any of your research? I have been led to believe her father was John Blevins, but which one? There are several Blevins's married throughout our Morrell line. The Morrell's came through the Shenandoah Valley across the Morrell Trail into Carter County and settled in Hickory Tree. My mother's old home place still stands and is on Morrell Creek.

      I attended the Sullivan County Genealogical Society's reunion last month and purchased several books, one being the History of Sullivan County. There is a picture of the Blevins' Plantation and story about it, if you have not seen this, let me know and I will be happy to make a copy of it and mail it to you.

Ordered to lay off a road from Greasy Cove to the head of Limestone Cove,on the road to Burke Co.,NC. John Blevins,William Blevins,Jonathan Blevins,Daniel Blevins,Elisha Blevins,Richard Blevins,also named was William Lewis(my ancestor),John Hales,Isham Hales,William Hales,James Ward,William Samms,Joseph Culbertson and others.

      I have unsuccessfully tried to backtrack each family to find the origins of my William LEWIS. Obvious connections, but nothing definitive.They all have links to Pittsylvannia>Henry Co VA areas, but I'm at a brickwall. Any Lewis's names sound familiar in your search? Other names from Greasy Cove of interest were the WEBBS,DILLARDS,HUTCHINS,RIGSBYS,JULIANS,TINKER,TITLE,FOSTER,CLOUSE,MOON, along withn the LOVES and SEVIERS

      We are researching the descendants of Daniel Blevins born 1710-1730 from Lunenburg, Halifax, & Pittsylvania Cos, VA (as the counties were formed, he probably did not move), then Buncombe Co, NC, on to Montgomery and Grayson Cos, VA and to Washington Co, TN in the 1790s. Our history is based on a story done by Daniel's great grandson, Jonathan Blevans about the family. We have been verifying this story for over two years, everything Jonathan stated has been proven except Daniel being from England, that one fact has not been proven, yet. Daniel's sons: John, James, Dillon, William, Henry, Jonathan, & Richard. Daniel possibly had a daughter named Lucy, married Isaiah Austin.

      I still think that the second information (Census is the right one as far as time frame for Burvie being born in 1853.) Burr married a Juliette Goodman either in KY or IL they had all of their children in Paducah, McCracken Co., KY. There is like 10 yrs difference between the first Milinda and this Milinda on the census.

      Would like to hear from anyone working on any of the information above, maybe somehow I can figure out which line is mine.

      How can I get a message to the world that I am researching the family of Daniel Blevins. To be more specific his son Linkhorn Blevins and Sally Belcher who thrived in the Wise county area of Virginia. I have some data on this family and can be of help to others.

      Why in all this material can't I find the name Linkhorn Blevins? He lived in the Powell Valley area of Va., And also was predominate figure in wise co., Va. He was the son of Daniel Blevins, Jr. Linkhorn lived and died in the wise co., Va. Area having owned several hundred acres of land. My g-grandfather Alexander was his eldest son. Alexander migrated to bath-Montgomery co., Ky. Area about 1868. He previous married two women from va., One marriage took place in Whitesburg, Ky. The other I’m not sure. Alex served about one year in the confederate army. There is a linkhorn Blevins cemetery in the city of wise, va.. I need help in finding Linkhorn's mothers name. I have been told its Lucy Roberts but, this has to be a mistake. I'm no expert in researching but have substantial data on Daniel Blevins, Jr.'s family. Thanks for reading this, would appreciate any info or lead you might toss my way.

      We are researching the descendants of Daniel Blevins born 1710-1730 from Lunenburg, Halifax, & Pittsylvania Cos, VA (as the counties were formed, he probably did not move), then Buncombe Co, NC, on to Montgomery and Grayson Cos, VA and to Washington Co, TN in the 1790s. Our history is based on a story done by Daniel's great grandson, Jonathan Blevans about the family. We have been verifying this story for over two years, everything Jonathan stated has been proven except Daniel being from England, that one fact has not been proven, yet. Daniel's sons: John, James, Dillon, William, Henry, Jonathan, & Richard. Daniel possibly had a daughter named Lucy, married Isaiah Austin.

    120. Jill Ann Church arsouthpaw@juno.com
      My name is Jill Ann Popejoy Church. I am originally from Strafford, Greene County, MO, and now reside in Mabelvale, Saline County, AR. I am a Blevins descendant, and two years ago started searching for my roots. I really don't know how to explain my "brick wall" except to just show you.

      Anna Mae Blevins Popejoy ... my mom
      Clell Blevins ... my grandpa (illegitimate son ... kept mom's maiden name ... raised by aunt)
      Anna Blevins ... prostitute in Kansas City ... may have eventually married a Connelly)
      George W. Blevins ... born in Independence County, AR ... buried in Ozark, MO
      James Thomas Blevins ... on the 1860 Independence County, AR census wife Rosanah Blevins shows up on the 1870 Christian County, MO census living with George.
      A James Blevins shows up on the Washington County, VA census with the Gatewood Blevins household, as does Peter and Eliza Blevins. All of the ages stay consistent with these individuals as they all show up on the Independence County, AR 1860 census, Eliza being a Davis by then. However ...
      I have a copy of Gatewood's will, filed on September 12, 1868. He distinguishes his three sons John, David and William and his three daughters Sarah, Lucinda, and Elizabeth as beneficiaries of his property, and how to divide it up. Then he gives James, Peter, and Eliza $5.00.
      Maybe I'm reading more into this than necessary, but could it be possible that one of Gatewood's brothers died and Gatewood and Catherine took these three into their household? If this is possible, how can I find out who James' parents were?
      If Gatewood Blevins is truly James Thomas' father, that is wonderful, and my months of empty searching has paid off. I just want to be sure.
      Also, I cannot find what happened to James. Please send me anything you may have to shed some light on this dilemma.
      Specifically, I'd like info on Gatewood Blevins (2355) a James Thomas that may match my description, and Rosy Blevins (2423.) Thank you so much!!!
      If you're interested, I can send you all I have, which at this time isn't much, but I'd be glad to share what I have..

      I have tried getting some help on the Blevins Roots Web Research page. My dilemma: I am able to trace my family tree to a Hamilton Blevins b. 1807, married to a Phoebe Woodruff. He is listed as having been born in VA. She is from North Carolina. I found this info on the 1840 census from Ashe County, NC.
      I am trying to figure out where he was born, and who is parents were. The census does not list the children's names prior to 1920, so I am not able to figure his parentage. You seem to be pretty well versed with the Blevins...any help?
      p.s. their childrens' names were Calaway b.1834, Margaret b.1836, Catherine b.1838, Lucy b.1840, Hamilton JR. b.1843, Julia b. 1846, Mathilda b.1849. They were all born in Surry County, NC.

      My name is Linda Mann. My mother was Rosetta Mae Blevins born in Dot, WV. Her parents were David Jesse Blevins born in Grayson Co., VA in 1877 and Alsey Emaline Cathryn Caroline Dowell. David's parents were Alfred born 1854 in Grayson County, VA and Nancy Ball born about 1850. Alfred's parents were Morris born about 1825 in Grayson County, VA and Lucinda ? born about 1840 in VA.
      Owen Blevin's page says that Morris' parents were James and Susanna Welch and James' parents were Daniel and Sarah Belcher. According to Owen Daniel was born in 1710 in Westerly, RI but I sent off for all records from Westerly pertaining to Daniel Blevins.
      The only Daniel Bliven born close to 1710 was born in 1737. He married Hannah Greene in 1762 and lived and died in Westerly RI.
      I have census records to prove info through Morris.
      Does anyone have any more information on Morris Blevins
      Last name of Lucinda? Parents of Morris if not James?
      Any information would be greatly appreciated.
      If I can furnish any information on the Bliven name from the Westerly RI records I have please let me know.

      I just encountered my first Prodigy discussion in the quest for information about my maternal ancestors. I was rather surprised to find the information in a Blevins family discussion...I've not been able to flesh out the Blevins line until now. I do have some information for you regarding Lady Sarah Rowden.
      Her father's name is Lord Rowen, her mother is Lady Norel and they are all from London, England. Sarah married Martin Schults (Germany; son of Fentyn Schults). Martin died in Corsicana, Navarro, Texas.
      Their son was Martin VanBuren Schults, born 2 April 1833 in Cohobbie,Falls,Missouri, died 28 August 1890 in Pauls Valley, Garvin, Oklahoma.
      He was married to Angeline Mahalia Blevins on 24 June 1856 in ,Grayson,Texas. Her father's name was Andrew Blevins, mother was Jane Plevins(?)Adkinson. They had several children, one of whom was Fredonia Victoria Shults, my great-grandmother.
      If you wish any further information/details, please email to arclight@mindspring.com. I have a photo of Angeline.

      I found your address on the INGEN WEB site. I am looking for information on the Blevins family in Indiana.

      My maternal grandfather was a Blevins. I have traced his family line back to Hezekiah Blevins in Sullivan Co. IN. From census records for Sullivan Co. in 1840 & 1850 I know that Hezekiah was born in Virginia. I suspect that his father was James Blevins who was born in New England on Dec. 25, 1762.

      I was wondering if you would have any information that definitely connects Hezekiah to James. Or if you would have any information on Hezekiah and his family? The family seems to vanish after Hezekiah's death in 1869.

      I was very happy to find your page on the Internet. My Blevins line is at a deadend at C. A. Blevins. He was born about 1873 in Tennessee. He married Ida May McKenzie in January 1893 in Meigs County, Tennessee and they had two sons: Lawrence Millard Blevins and David Alexander Blevins. My grandfather is Lawrence. All I know about CA Blevins is that he was called Coot. I found a record of his marriage and divorce to Ida May and a court document giving him a fine of $2.50 for gaming. That's it.

      I have 3 BLEVINS marriages in my CAUDILL lines.
      You have a great Web site! I didn't find any CAUDILL's but one entry for ref#1289 John Adrew BLEVINS b ca 1849, father Andrew Franklin CLEVINS, mother Susan JOINES did look interesting as the JOINES surname is common also in my CAUDILL's.

      Here are my BLEVINS, mostly Wilkes and Surry Co, NC;

      Frances Jane "Frankie" BLEVINS b 22 Apr 1876 Wilkes Co, NC; d 2 Mar 1933 Wilkes Co, NC, buried there in Walnut Creek, Walnut Creek Cem, Wilkes Co, NC; m Alfred Martin CAUDILL who was b 1869 in Wilkes Co, NC; d 1933 in Wilkes Co, NC.

      Frances parents were Harvey BLEVINS & Phoebe HOLLOWAY.

      Alfred's parents were James Harrison CAUDILL b 1839 Surry Co, NC; d 1924 Wilkes Co, NC and Sarah Jane TILLEY his 2nd wife.

      Also John Andrew BLEVINS m Martha Luella CAUDILL; Martha child of James Harrison CAUDILL & Mary Candis TILLEY his second wife.

      Also Frances J CAUDILL dau of James Harrison CAUDILL & Sarah Jane TILLEY his 2nd wife; Frances married Mr BEVENS/BLEVINS.

      James Harrison CAUDILL was b 1839 in Surry Co, NC; d 1924 in Wilkes Co, NC.

      Are there any connections or help you can give. Do you know if the JOINES family is connected to you or someone else?

      Here is my JOINES/CAUDILL's;

      JOINES/CAUDILL families in Wilkes Co, NC
      (ADAMS/PRUITT/PRIVETTE)

      Two of my CAUDILL's married JOINES:

      Pheraby/Pheby CAUDILL (ca 1800 - ca 1970) m Ezekiel JOINES, he b 1800 in Wilkes Co, NC. His parents were Thomas JOINES & Mary CAUDILL (cousins?).

      Also Sarah CAUDILL (sister to Pheraby above) (1801-1886), m 1825 to Major JOINES.

      These 2 sisters' parents were buried in the JOINES Cem on a farm near Traphill, Wilkes Co, NC. There parents were Jeremiah CAUDILL b ca 1779, d 1829-30 & his wife Sally Jane (Sarah) ADAMS (1787-1858). I believe Jeremiah's parents may have been William CAUDILL & Elizabeth PRUITT/PRIVETTE.

      I would love to hear more info on the JOINES family in NC as there does seem to be a close family tie.

      In looking at your pages I located some information on the blevins in Green Co. Kty. William Jr. Blevins B. 1760 Pittsylvania married Mary Thompson of Sullivan Co. Tn. Their first child Daniel b. 1794 in Sullivan Co.Tn. married Lucy Roberts. you have them listed #1605 I have the same children as you except John blevins who was born in 1803 You Have a John Blevins b. 1803 #2340 but no other information and doesn't seem you have him connected to William Jr.
      Could have missed him ? Or have you not research him?
      You have b.yrs. on the first 3 children
      Christopher b.1801-John b.1803- Joseph b.1805-General b.1807- Alfred B.1809- Hiram B.1811- Jackson b. 1813- Mary b.1813- Lucy B.1817

      Let me know if this was an over site or you have other proof that John you have in 1803 #2340 belongs somewere else.
      I have only Kty left to finish searching and I believe that will complete the line of John thru last generation which is my grandchildren.

      Am researching Gatewood Blevins (#2) who was born about 1813 and died after 1860 census. I believe that his wife, Elizabeth, may have been the daughter of John & Nancy Ann (Glover) Sams. Gatewood's daughter, Nancy Jane married William Wallace and died on the way west to Oklahoma and Texas. b She died about 1862, I believe - my files are not at hand!

      In 1850 census of Sullivan County there is a Nancy Sams in the household of Gatewood & Elizabeth Blevins of the age to be Elizabeth's mother. In the next census Nancy Sams is residing with Gatewood's daughter, Nancy Jane (Blevins) Wallace. I know that there are 2 Gatewoods and that one apparently doesn't descended from the other.

      Also, I, too, wonder about the instrument that names Gatewood as an heir and descendant of William Blevins but continues on to name John Blevins as William's son. Where does the Indian come into this family? Nancy Jane (Blevins) Wallace's children have Indian roll #'s.

      Was interested to see your Blevins web page. I've long been aware of the VA/NC/TN Blevins families, although I am not directly related. My mother's family was Blevins, of Boston Protestant Irish stock. This group descends from a number of brothers and cousins who came to Boston and New York between 1849 and 1870 or so from County Armagh in Northern Ireland. They seem to have been in Armagh since about the middle 18th century, maybe earlier, and are by tradition ultimately of Welsh origin. Before Armagh, I suspect they connect to a numerous Blevin/Blevins found in coastal villages near Liverpool, just across the Irish sea in England and not far from Wales. The surname is a rare one (despite the fecundity of your branch of the family), and I suspect there is likely some connection way back. Have you developed any clues to your William Blevins' origin? Placing his family as part of the early Scots-Irish migration to SE Pennsylvania would seem a good bet.

I have a complete list of the Blevinses who were enrolled as Cherokees in the Dawes Census (the only census the tribe now recognizes) at the turn of the century. May write something. Glad to share info.

      My father was Winfred Ernest Blevins, Sr. (birth certificate name Winfred Earl), b. 1908; grandfather Thomas Washington Blevins. These are Arkansas Blevinses, and I have somewhat more. If anyone know much of the ancestry of Thomas Washington Blevins, I'd like to have info.

      I am working the family of Riley Blevins, b. ca. 1817 in Lee County, VA, who moved in approximately 1820/21, with his parents and other family members to Floyd County, KY. In 1835, he married Sarah Barker, and, in 1845, moved his young family to the South Fork of Clifty Creek, a tributary of the Little Sandy River, in Carter County, KY. He subsequently married Elizabeth Lawson, the widow of a Mr. Harris. He and Elizabeth may have divorced, as she moves, with their children, to Kansas and, in 1865 (?) he married a third time, to Mary Boggs. He may have been the son of a William Blevins, b. ca. 1782, and a Sarah (maiden name unknown), b. ca. 1785. I am looking for his descendants, ancestors and his siblings and their families. My e-mail is dboggs@porterwright.com and my U.S. mail is 3936 Rose Hill Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45229.

      I am not sure if you have obtained this line from "kitchy" or not? I just sent her an updated confirmed list of the Samuel Looney Blevins descendants. I have a picture of his tombstone from the Haskew Cemetery in Woodward, Okla. County. Also I have a listing of his children with only one being questionable. One of his children is William Blevins which was my grandfather and I detailed information concerning his life along with his children. If you have not acquired the above information on this generation from Kitchy or Roy Godsey, I would be more than happy to send it to you.

      My husband is a descendant of John Isom Blevins, born 9/5/1850 in Crawford CO, Indiana, married on 1/7/1871 in the same county to Winifred Lucinda Dooley. John died on 2/23/1924 in Crawford Co and is buried in the Sloan Cemetery near English, Indiana. He and Lucinda had Elizabeth [Veatch], Mary Mabel [Schoonover], George William who never married, Annie Estella [Austin--my husbands gt grandmother], Leona [Nichols, Lewis], John Anthony, and Alva R.

      According to Civil War records, John I. is the son of William Blevins, born about 1815 in Ky, and died in Nashville, Tenn. 3/11/1863 of measles during an epidemic in the Union Camp there. He married twice, first to Sarah "Sallie" Crawford in June of 1848. By her he had John Isom, James W., George W., and Nancy E [Hunt]. Following the death of Sallie in 1861, he married Nancy Jane Roberson on 2/6/1862. There were no children. Court records indicate a problem over the pension of William with the second wife trying to get his pension over the rights of the children who were underage at the time. The children won the case and the second wife disappears from the family history.

      There is reason to believe William is the son of James Blevins who was residing in Crawford Co., Indiana in 1850, living with a daughter, Elizabeth "Betsy" Brown and her husband, Zack. Possible children other than the Elizabeth Brown, are William who married Sallie Crawford, Sarah who married Cyprian Bennett, Mary, Willabe who married possibly a Catherine Pearson, Nancy who married James Kee/Key, and Matilda who married George Snider, all in Crawford Co., Indiana.

      This James was born about 1781 in Virginia according to the 1850 census.

      I know very little else about this family, would like to connect it back further if possible. At least 6 of his children were born in Kentucky, but where is unknown.

      Any help would be appreciated, at least a direction in which to search would be nice. Most of what I know is from research done in the early 60's by me, while working in the Indiana History Room of the New Albany, Indiana Library and from an aunt of my husbands, Nadine Roberts Hammond of English, Indiana. Glad to share what little I have.

      I am seeking the parents of James Blevins, born about 1781 in Virginia [?}. He may have married in Ky about 1808-10 to Sarah ? This much was gleaned from an 1850 Crawford County, Indiana census. For certain, he had a son, William who was born in Ky in 1815.

      William married June 14, 1848 in Crawford County, Indiana to Sarah Crawford. They had the following children: 1. John Isom, born Oct. 5, 1849 in Crawford Co., and married to Winifred Lucinda Dooley on Jan. 8, 1871. 2. James W. who was born about 1854 and died young. 3. George W., born June 26, 1856, died Oct. 8, 1909 and married on March 16, 1879 to Rachel Redden. 4. Nancy E. born Oct. 10, 1859 and married to ? Hunt.

      Following the death of Sarah Crawford Blevins, William married Nancy Jane Roberson in Crawford Co., Indiana. There are no known children of this marriage.

      William died in Nashville, Tenn. during a measle epidemic during the Civil War and is most likely buried in that area. He was in the Indiana 81st Regiment, Company H of the volunteer infantry. His first wife is buried in Potato Run Churchyard in the Harrison-Crawford State Forestry in southern Indiana, with no marker to show the exact location of her grave. The second wife filed to receive his pension, which the four children of the first marriage opposed in court.

      My husband descends from the son of William, John Isom.
      Seeking anyone who can give me a clue on which direction to search for the parents of William. One relative said they came from North Carolina, but census records clearly indicate they were from Virginia.

      I am searching for the daughter of Nathan Blevins and Lucy Combs. They married 1/22/1846 in Atchison Co., Mo and had daughter Elsie A. in 1847. Nathan died in Wyoming (year not definite), then Lucy married my ggggrandfather James Armstrong Gilkison on 11/27/1852 in Atchison Co. However, Elsie was never raised with them. I have been working with Combs researchers and no luck yet, so thought I would try Blevins. Was Elsie raised by maternal or paternal relatives or did she die, and if so when?

      I have just read your Blevins' "Data from Wm T Clark" and the names and locations are all tying in with the info I have from my father's family. His name was Everett Marian (Marien) Blevins, b. 1909 in Dover, OK. However, I didn't find his gr.father, James Edward Blevins, b. 13 May 1860 m. to Nettie Bowen, b. 20 Mar 1865 in Farmington, Graves Co. KY. James Edward's father was Elisha Blevins, b. 1 Mar 1826, m. 13 Apr 1848 to Margaret. I have the page from Elisha's Bible (photstat copy).

      Would really appreciate hearing from you if you think our info matches. One generation of Blevins' married into several members of the Hall family & also Hill & Johnson famillies

      Thank you for any info you can supply.

      My ancestoral line is: Me(Francis Marion Blevins (Dale-female in spite of spelling of names), father: Ira Walter Blevins (dob 4 Oct 1895 - believe it or not, he is still alive and is going to be given the French Medal of Honor the last of this month for serving in WWI), grandfather: Augustus Marion Blevins (DOB 1 Sept l870 in Arkansas), gr-grandfather: Joseph Blevins, (dob - don't have records in front of me but he was born in Alabama in 1830s), gr-gr-grandfather Armistead Blevins, again records not here in front of me but it was either in Alabama or Tenn. Armistead was the son of Josiah Joseph Blevins. According to my records, census, etc, Josiah was born about 1780 in Virginia. Parents unknown but family bible lists - no, I'm not positive about father's name without looking it up - was either John or James but not proven. Josiah had an illegitimate son, James, mother unknown who was born in 1800 in Tenn, raised by Josiah and killed during Civil War by bushwackers. Josiah, Jr. died fairly young and therefore is not mentioned in his father's will. There was a terrible legal battle over Josiah Blevins will in that he left everything to his lawyers and nothing to his children. This went on for years and when finally settled, there naturally was nothing left.

      Being a Blevins, my tongue is tied in the middle and flops at both ends. I do love to ramble on and hope I haven't bored you too much. I would appreciate any help and/or suggestions you could give me in sorting, typing and entering all of this stuff so other people could use it too. In the past, I did go through and make a list of all of the info regarding Blevins that I had starting in the 1700s, listing names, places, spouses, dates and events. This shows quite a pattern in helping to show when and where families went. Also, the Blevins sure were limited in first names. Seemed to love William, John, James, etc.

I'm interested in finding information about his parents/siblings. John and Mary had been married 29 years, per censu, which would indicate they were married ca 1871, probably in IL. Same census information indicates that Mary Yokum ws b. May, 1851 in IL, and that both of her parents were born in IL.

      They had two children: William, b. July 1876, in MO (per census); and Lucinda, b. Feb 1880 at Sand Springs, KS; she married Byron A. Lyday in Feb 1899 in Manchester, KS. It is through Lucinda that I'm researching the Blevins-Yokum surnames.

      I am enlightened to see that you are helping people to find their family history. I am a former Blevins, and have enjoyed reading through your list of that surname. I do not know enough about my Blevins history to really search it. All that I know is that my father is Barry Lynn Blevins, and that he has a sister named Barbera.Barry married my mother in 1974 her name was Sharon Raye Robertson at the time. I was Shadow Lynn Blevins.

      I have not know my father or his family. And though all i hope to achieve is knoweledge of my geneaology, my dream is to one day introduce my daughter to the person that i still think about on a regular basis.

      The last I heard, Barry was working around the Galveston or Port Lavaca Tx area. If you have any information about the Blevins from south Tx, I would forever be in your debt.

      Thank you again for your work in bringing families together.

Her grandmother was Gertrude Buckles Blevins and is buried in the Weaver Cemetery, Sullivan Co.TN. I think she may have been married to John M. son of Alfred and Rebecca Cross Blevins for they are also buried here with several of their other children.

      Records have Alfred the son of John H. and Leanah Blevins. Do have any information on the parent of John ot Leanah? John born abt 1806 TN Leanah born about 1816 NC.

      Do you have any information about John M. born abt.1878 died 1944 or a Thedore Henry Blevins?
