Thanks for the SEVERS info. My SEVERS line is documented by me to William SEVERS b. ca 1794-1797[age discrepancy in census] in TN. He moved to Neosho, Newton County,MO by 1840. He is in 1840, 1850 and 1860 federal census there. His descendants remain there down to the present generation. I, Carolyn[Carol] SEVERS, Berry, Clouse was born there. Have you considered joining the Sevier[ and Variant Spellings] Y DNA project? So far 2 SEVERS are the only ones who have joined. carol > [Original Message] > From: <WWFGeneal@aol.com> > To: <SEVERS-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 3/18/2005 8:32:28 AM > Subject: Severs - Sibert > > My mother is Edna SIBERT Ferguson, born Feb 3, 1921, Washington, PA.
