Posted on: McDowell Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/NC/McDowell/598 Surname: benfield ------------------------- I am looking for information about Levi Bivins. He was according to family history the common law husband of Mary Elisabeth Benfield. My grandfather was Fonzo Benfield. I have no information on his brothers and sisters. Could this be the same Levi Bivins? He was born in Mitchell county according to my information.
