Re: Cora Colvin Loyd/Orange Co, VA

zorbteng — 2012-05-15 21:44:25Z

Robert Herndon, if you are still alive, you are in the family tree information I have compiled. I attempted to contact some members of your Herndon branch of the family tree, living in the Albano Road area in Orange County, VA, but was rudely rebuffed. Perhaps your group has mellowed with age? If so, I would be very happy to communicate with any of you! Unlike certain others, Carrie Mae Herndon Easton (now sadly deceased) was very helpful and knowledgeable. She gave me a good deal of information, which I later substantiated in various records.

Re: Cora Colvin Loyd/Orange Co, VA

zorbteng — 2012-05-15 21:35:35Z

I have some information on this branch of the family. Would like to learn more of what you are interested in and what is your connection? Thanks.

Colvin Newton Family Tree

nancychildrey — 2012-03-20 16:15:46Z

We recently were given a page on the Colvin Newton Family Tree. Elizabeth Whitmore Reed was listed as born in 1786 in Somerset, PA and married Hezekiah Bonham Reed who was born in NJ. Does anyone know what the connection was to the Colvin Newton Family Tree?

Her father Jacob Whitmore, was listed as born 1767, in Carroll, Maryland. I am directly descended from Jacob. We have never known his birthplace. Does anyone have documentation to confirm his birth in Maryland and who his family was? We would greatly appreciate any information on this connection. Nancy Whitmore Childrey

Re: Seeking descendants of James, Henry, Robert and Mary Colvin of NC

sandranunley1 — 2011-08-17 03:15:29Z

I have Henry and Catherine (McFARLAND) COLVIN's (born 1799 in NC) family on one of my extended branches. From the 1870 Bullock Co., AL census, it appears some of the children listed may be grandchildren, children of Flora Ann (Flory) COLVIN who possibly married a Mr. PURVIZ.

However, the census goes back and forth between the PURVIZ and the COLVIN surnames, but some of the birth years seem a little late to be children of Henry and Catherine.

I have tried to find the PURVIZ children in later census records, but have not been able to locate them. Any help would be appreciated. - Sandra

Hi Barbara-- Long time no write. I just wanted to tell you that I found Alexander Colvin ancestor of our Colvin men. He came to America fighting for the British during the Rev. War and was captured in Albemarle County Va. He then stayed here after the war. I will be making a trip to Va for the proof, but FINALLY- found him and know how he got here. He was captured in 1777. I'll keep you posted.

Also search for Marcus or Marquis or LaFayeette when you are searching for Fayette, especially if Fayette is a junior he may use his middle name, as a first name.

Re: Colvin/Beswick in Pike County, Missouri

Mary, all of these names certainly fall within my Colvin/Beswick/Pullium family. I have not worked on this family in some time but would be willing to help you. Have you looked at my family tree on Ancestry.com (Hardwick Family)? Once you have done that, please contact me later today. I am always interested in finding more family. Barbara

Re: Colvin/Beswick in Pike County, Missouri

nellilyn — 2011-07-09 19:24:29Z

I believe I am connected and am so pleased to have found this thread. My grandmother, Nellie Mae Roberson Nichols was orphaned in the early 1900's, Per her "delayed" birth certificate her mother was Mary Collivan married to James Wilson Roberson. I think Collivan is really Colvin. Mary was born in 1864. I think she may be the Mary Pullium or Colvin living with Joseph V & Jane in Pike County. My grandmother believed she was born in Pike County.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Glad it was useful for someone. You might check the postings I've done from other newspapers on Oklahoma genforum, Rootsweb count postings, including Murray and Carter Counties on rootsweb and genforum; there might be something else on Colvin.

logosandlace — 2011-05-01 19:09:53Z

I just found your old post, and I am so happy to see it!

I have been searching for my father's family in Oklahoma and have found nothing concrete. My father was James Preston Colvin from Alma. My grandfather was the Otto Colvin from Alma mentioned in the obit you posted. His father was Samuel V. Colvin. Samuel died when Otto was very young and none of Otto's family knew about his history. In fact, they believed (mistakenly I think) Samuel was from Michigan. Now I have some good information to research. Your post is invaluable!

Thank you so much.

Re: colvin-native american

calvinrussellsmith — 2011-03-04 02:22:49Z

Sandy, you and I must be related. I am the great-great-grandson of Matilda Colvin. Matilda's daughter Mattie Colvin/Boutwell is my great-grandmother. Her son, Jewell Jernigan, is my grandfather.

I, too am trying to document and understand the Creek lineage in our family. Would like to connect with you and e-mail directly to compare notes.

Re: Mattie was my great grandmother

calvinrussellsmith — 2011-03-04 02:15:27Z

Mattie Colvin-Boutwell was my great grandmother. My grandfather is Jewell Jernigan (Mattie's son).

I am super confused about the native american aspect of our family. My grandfather said that his grandmother, Matilda Colvin was Creek Indian. I do not understand all the conflicting views on Matilda's ethnicity but would sure love to figure it out. Also, if you have a picture of Mattie and her twin brother John, I would deeply appreciate a copy.

You may find some more information on the Hardwick Tree on Ancestry. I believe I have more details in my files and FTM if you are interested. Just let me know. Do you have a picture of your grandmother or any of her husbands? I would love to have scans of them.
