Surnames: Levins Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Jg.2ADI/1327.2 Message Board Post: I am also researching a Levins (Levens, Leavens) family, in Illinois. I've traced my relatives from Oregon to Randolph Co. Illinois. I have info on a James F., Thomas, Isaah, Zacceus, all born between 1818 & 1823 I believe. There father was Othiel (Otho) Levens, and that is where I am trying to research. Any relation? Have you come across any of those names. I know James & Thomas were popular names though. Thanks for any info. Jaime
