I can identify most of the Hawkins and Hamblen Co. Seaver marriages. I tend to think that the Sevier group is a totally different family, pronounced SeVEER rathe than SEEver. However, occasionally I have found a Se(a)ver(s) family member mis-transcribed as Sevier. Most of the Hamblen and Hawkins Co. TN Seavers (Sever/s, Seever/s, etc.) are descendants of Joseph and Jeremiah Seaver, sons of William Severs, who died in southwest VA about 1814 (Joseph's guardianship record was recorded Nov. 1814 in Washington Co.). Jeremiah is found in Hawkins Co. censuses from 1830-1860 (he died 1869). Joseph was on Hawkins 1836 tax list, 1840 Grainger Co. census, 1850 Jefferson Co, TN census (Hamblen was formed 1870 from Greene, Grainger and Jefferson), and 1860 Hawkins Co.; he died before 1870. A sister of Joseph and Jeremiah, Susannah, married Jacob Grubb of Washington Co, VA; she was living in Grainger Co. in 1830, Jefferson Co. in 1840, Anderson Co. in 1850 and then back in Grainger Co. in 1860, 1870, and 1880. Joseph and Jeremiah's brothers, John and William C., were living in Wythe Co. VA. Another brother, Henry, died about 1822 in VA, unmarried and without children.

He married Caroline Biggs 1870 in Hawkins Co., TN. This may be an entirely different man, but the name is rather unusual. > >Seaver, Alice Spouse : Watts, Franklin > Marriage date : Jul 15, 1880 > County : Hamblen > Gender : Female > Source : County Court Records > Microfilm Number : 0969613 - 0969615 There was an Alice Seaver, age 17, listed as granddaughter of Matilda Seaver (Joseph's widow) in Hamblen Co. 1880 census. There was an Alice M., age 8, living with George and (Mary) Emeline (Seaver) Lawson in 1870. SPECULATION: Since George and Emeline married Sept. 1864, it may be that Alice was a daughter of Mary Emeline by her first marriage to her cousin, John B. Seaver, s/o Jeremiah. Although the 1870 census does not indicate a different last name for Alice, it could be that she took her stepfather's name, but used her legal name for her marriage, or it could be a census error. Although this is speculation, there was no Alice living in any of the Seaver households in 1870. I have not found Mary Emeline & George in 1880. >Sever, Frank Spouse : Phipps, Emer > Marriage date : Jan 19, 1866 > County : Hawkins > Gender : Male > Source : County Court Records > Microfilm Number : 0972789 - 0972791 Possibly from a different family of Sever(s), who lived mainly in Scott Co, VA, which borders Hawkins Co, TN. >Sever, James T.

By the 1880s, Joseph and Jeremiah's families, and those of their southwest VA relatives, were quite consistently using the Seaver or Seavers spelling.

In 1850 they were living in Davidson Co. with Wm. 18, Clinton 16, Corns (Cornelius) 14, Jas 11, Susan 8, Alger 6 and Joel A.B. 4. Comparing the 1840 data to the 1850, there was a 10-15 year old male in the home in 1840 who is not present in 1850; he could have been John M. and would have been 20-25 in 1853, definitely old enough to marry--SPECULATION >Seavers, John M.
