I went to the Federal Archives today and here are some of the things I have found. 1860 Jeffreson Co., IL census Abram Severs has a James Severs age 16 born in ARK living with him. Does anyone know he he belongs to? 1860 Jefferson Co.,IL census Ashely P.O. This area is on the boarder of Washington Co.,IL James Severs 33 IL is the right age to be a son of James M. Severs Elizabeth 36 TN James M. was in IL before he was born James H. 15 TN Pricilla Hick 45 TN There is no marriage record of James and Elizabeth in IRAD. Washington Co., IL isn't included in IRAD. If James and Elizabeth were married, they could have been married in Washingotn Co.,IL or TN when James was 17-18 and fathered James when he was 18. Catherine Severs 42 IN George Tate 17 IL This Catherine is Catherine Severs Tate. There is a marriage record in Washington Co.,IL of Samuel Fait and Katherine Severs. Catherine is presumed daughter of James M. Severs and sister of Abram Severs. I have a pension record of Samuel Tate from the Mexican War. He died 1847 in Mexico. James M. Severs wrote a letter stating that Catherine and Samuel were married and had a son George. Abram was named guardian of George. There were also letters from Mary Anderson and S. Smith. I don't know who these two are. Catherine Tate is listed in the Jefferson Co.,IL 1850 census with James M. Seviers. In the 1870 census Catherine's last name is Tate again. 1860 Union Co., IL census George Severs 55 NC Elizabeth 31 NC Rachel 13 IL George 10 IL Lorenzo 8 IL Sarah 4 IL Margaret 1 IL I don't know how or if this family fits with mine, but the name Lorenzo is interesting. 1840 Henderson Co., KY census Ignatious Severs 1 male under 5, 1 m. 5-10, 1 m. 40-50 1 female under 5, 1 f. 5-10, 2 f. 10-15, 1 f. 30-40 3 slaves 1 manufacture L. D. Severs 1male under 5, 1 m. 5-10, 1 m. 20-30, 1 m. 40-50 1 female under 5, 1 f. 5-10, 1 f. 10-15, 1 f. 20-30 1 agriculture, 2 manufacture This L.D. Severs could be the same Lorenzo Dow that was in Posey Co.,IN. There was actually a Lorenzo Dow that was born 1777 and died 1834. He was one of the first Methodist Preachers in this country. He must have had quite a following to have so many children named after him. There is a website that gives info on him. Just do a search for Lorenzo Dow. Kathy Pugh
Would anyone by chance have anything on a Tyndall Severs. He would have been born circa 1820 in IN or IL. According to some papers my uncle sent me, he would have been a son to James M. Severs. Are there any Tyndall's associated with Severs? I have found nothing about Tyndall Severs in Washington or Jefferson Co., IL. There is in the Dubois line a Sharron Tyndall Dubois in the late 1800's. Abram Severs (b. 1820 in IN) married Rebecca Dubois (b.1825 in TN) 1847 in Johnson Co., IL. Does anyone know of any other Dubois associated with Severs? Kathy Pugh
I have no proof that Jacob and George are brothers or even related. I have them both in the same county at the same time and in the 1820 census they are checked as being over 45. But I did find Jacob buying his land in Posey Co., IN 1823 through the BLM-GLO. I can't say for sure that this Jacob buying land in Posey Co., IN 1823 and selling it in 1826 is the same person selling land in 1807 in Sullivan Co., TN. I am speculating that they may be related because there was a George and a Jacob in Sullivan Co., TN and Posey Co., IN at the same time. The only reason I looked in Sullivan Co., TN is because when I started Genealogy, I was told by relatives that my James M. Severs was the grandson of General John Sevier, war hero/ first Gov. of TN etc. But I have evidence that points me to George Severs. As for Abraham Severs, I only mentioned him because he was mentioned in a Washington Co., IL historical book as being there at 1821. My James was there also from before 1824-1855. I don't if it was a coincidence or if they are related. James M. Severs is presumed to have a son Abram. Kathy Pugh

The Bible of this William C. (John b. 1795 also had a son named William C. b. 1827) is in the possession of the Smyth Co. (VA) Historical Society. If the William Severs in the 1800 was the William who died in 1817, or another unknown William, would it not still be possible that the William 1752 was a brother of Henry b. 1743? Pat -- Patricia M.

Jacob of >Scott, VA's widow, Hetty (Esther) is found in the 1830 Switzerland >Co, IN. > I see from a later posting from Charles that Jacob Peck Seavers was born 1809, so he couldn't be the Jacob in Posey, IN in 1820. I see from my A.I.S. files that there was a Jacob Sever on the tax rolls in Muhlenberg KY in 1800 who doesn't appear there after 1800. There was also a Jacob Sivires in Hampshire Co. (W)Va who doesn't show up later. However, since there are gaps in the A.I.S. files--lost or missing censuses, etc.--we cannot conclude that either of these Jacobs ended up in Posey Co., but it might be worth looking into.

George is interesting as there was a record in court in Breckinridge Co Ky of a George Severs about l846. Jacob Peck Severs lived in that county about l850-l880 and I have suspected that George might have been a brother and come to visit or something. Charles Severs >

The last known child was born l809 and she appeared in Census as an older female until l830 and did not make the move to Nodaway Co in l849. Wm and Catherine seemed to live with William (Son) until l830 or maybe l820 and the following census seemed to be living with John. Neither was listed in l840 in TN, however. The date of the move is documented by the birth of children of John. Wm died in Nodaway Co in fall of l852 and was buried there. I suspect Catherine to be buried on the farm in Anderson Co TN but do not know. If WM Severs was the Hessian soldier deserting from Savanna GA in July l782 he was really l0l at death. The change in Calender by the English in l752 may have confused everyone (including William) into thinking he was born l752. I do not believe the English Calender had a Feb in l752 as it was a short year from march to December or something. The Hessian was born Feb l751 but birth date used by William is unknown. I would kill for knowing it. Charles Severs

There were two more persons in the family named Daniel Severs. One was Daniel F and the other (My family group_- Daniel Hugh Severs). I do think George is a possible child of this group but Abraham, less likely. George has been used in this family but not Abraham and they were NOT very inventive when naming children. I have no info on William Severs 1752 before his marriage in Montgomery Co VA in l793. I have been looking in the area from Savanna GA to Montgomery Co VA for any other info on him. I had hoped for an indenture or oath of alegiance but have not found one.

I have been printing off the Seaver(s)/Sever(s)/Seever(s) data from the 1880 census as time permits at the FHC. The LDS church is selling the 1880 census on CD-ROM. It is very well done! This is not just the Soundex (which had only families with children under age 10) - it is the entire census. I now have data from all of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and the western states. For most of these, I have them by family groups, and they list relation to the head, age, race, marital status, and birthplace. If you have a mystery Seaver/Sever, please let me know and I can look them up for you - atl east in the states I have data for. Regards -- Randy

The George who was on early land and tax records of Sullivan Co, TN must have been too old to have been a son of William & Catherine Peck Severs. I believe there are a couple of records from 1796 and 1797, and then he disappears. If a George shows up elsewhere thereafter, is there any evidence, or better yet, proof, that it was the same George? If so, is there any hint of his age? Note that the William (1752-1852) who married Catherine Peck was 40-ish when they married. Perhaps he had been married before. I have looked at the possibility that the William 1752-1852 was the father of the William who died in Wythe, VA in 1817. There are Bible records that indicate that the children of his first marriage were born between 1794 and 1805. From those dates, it would seem that William-1817 could have been a contemporary of Jacob, Elizabeth (Lamar) and John. It seems to me that we don't have enough information about the George of Sullivan, TN to know whether he was a contemporary of Jacob, etc. (born 1770s??) or of the 1752-1852 William. One possible scenario would be that the 1752-1852 William was a younger brother of the Henry b. @1743 who is said to have been the father of Jacob, Elizabeth Lamar, & John. The William-1817 could have been (1) another son of Henry or (2) a s/o the 1752-1852 William by an earlier marriage. Given that George left traces in Sullivan Co. close to the same time that Jacob and William-1817 were in the Scott/Hawkins/Sullivan area, it would seem that George could have been a either the son of or the brother of Henry b. 1743.

Breckinridge, KY is somewhat closer to Posey Co than to Switzerland. So...perhaps the Jacob Severs that Kathy found in Posey in 1820 is Jacob Peck Severs (s/o William 1752-1852 & Catherine Peck Severs), while the Jacob of Scott, VA went to Switzerland Co, IN. Jacob of Scott, VA's widow, Hetty (Esther) is found in the 1830 Switzerland Co, IN. Charles, do you have any information about where Catherine Peck Severs died and when? I had an old note in my files that she died in KY, but I can't confirm that. If she did die in KY, where was William at that time? From the 1850 Nodaway, MO census, it appears that William moved there in the late 1840s with his son John and John's family. Some of the young children were born in TN, so they must not have lived in MO long. Pat >if there is no Posey Co IL it must be Posey Co IN that was where >both Jacob and James M Severs lived.
