leftwich5@home.com let me know if you get anything new on Severs of any sort. vnsevers has come up with some old info reinterpreted and a Charles J Severs born l8ll seems to be son of Wm Severs l752 rather than Wm Severs l797 unless we have some dates wrong. He (Charles J) was parent of Frederick Ballard Severs who was an indian agent of far reputation and who had married an indian who was said to be Cherokee in one place and Creek in another. Apparently lived in AR in an area between two rivers that had been dedicated to indians in some US policy before they stold additional Indian lands and resettled with Europeans in the later l800s. FB Severs was born l835. I will send a copy of this to Debbie Leftwich and < maybe, We can get her interested again. I am going to start sending any Severs related info through Severs-L@rootsweb.com to see if it can be aroused a little as well. Encourage anyone interested a little to subscribe by sending Subscribe to Severs-L-request@rootsweb.com. There are a large numger of Severs who could be connected to others by doign a little work. Unfortunately, it probably would be in court houses around their earliest known locations. More is getting available on computer, however, and it remains a fertile tool for exchange of existing information and is far cheaper than a night in a motel and a drive to some remote court house. I have a ton of Broderbund CD's (about 400 CD's <grin>) and will be glad to research anything briefly for anyone on the Severs-L list even if unrelated to Severs. I get about 20% success on blind alleys and that is pretty good. Best for the new year. Charles Severs
