Wm Shepard Bivins/Bivens and his wife Rachel Phifer were born in NC. They were married in Mecklenburg Co, NC around 1823 and moved to GA shortly thereafter.They lived and raised their family in Butts, Spalding, and Henry Counties. Wm, Rachel, and his second wife Elizabeth are buried in New Hope Methodist Church Cemetery in Henry Co, GA. Their children were Jonah, Wm M, Mary, Columbus M H, and Daniel B Bivens. All were born in GA. Looking for parents of Wm S Bivins. Would like to connect him to other NC Bivens family. Have info on wife's ancestry and will share.
