Surnames: SEVERS,LEWIS, BURKHART and HUBBARD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lBHBAIB/76.2 Message Board Post: hello! I am a SEVERS from the Newton County, MO group who came out of TN. I have been researching this family for 45 years and I have never found nor run across anyone who has concrete proof of a relationship between the Newton County, MO SEVERS and the Nodaway County, MO SEVERS even though a lot of people list them as being intimately connected!. If no one can provide that proof then everyone should list the relationship as a theory. Carol
