    1. [TNMARION] Mary B. Levan Caldwell
    2. William Link Levan
    3. I am trying to find out more information about a lady named Mary B. Levan Caldwell whose tombstone I viewed Friday Jan 21, 2000 in the Mt Olive Cemetery in Marion Co, TN (near Whitwell). I am guessing that she is related to Jas B. Lavan and his wife Mary Lou Sampley Levan who are buried next to her but am not certain in that in my database of approximately 10,000 names, I cannot place this Mary B. Levan Caldwell. Any help appreciated. William Link Levan 205-663-9921 800 Vallleyview Rd Pelham, AL 35124 Birmingham, AL Metropolitan area. James Benjamin Levan/Lavan, III [TN] 5th TENN CAV was my great-grandfather. His son James Benjamin Levan, IV [TN, born Marion Co, TN] and migrated to Alabama between 1908-1913. My grandfather married Mary "Mollie" Teague also of that area and they were in Bledsoe Co for the 1900 Census. I have recorded in my more section of Family Tree Maker for JBL-III the following: James Benjamin Levan, III b:Apr 02, 1844 d:May 16, 1915; LAVAN James B. 71 1915 Marion #221 Friday:Jan 21, 2000, I William Link Levan visited the burial site of Jas B. Lavan at Mt Olive Cemetery, Marion County, Tennessee: Mt Olive Cemetery is located on Mt Olive Rd which is a left near Griffith Creek off St Road 108 from Whitwell, Marion Co TN toward Altamont via Griffith Creek, Gruetli Lager, Palmer, TN to intersection of 108 and Route 56: (fm Tracy City to Altamont). There is a sign at the left turn that says Cumberland Church of God: The tombstones of the Levans that I saw there (near the Pastor's house which is beside the Church). There are the following Levan's, observed by me, buried there: 1. Jas B. Lavan Co-F 5th Tenn Cav (rough gray/blackish marble stone) 2. Mary L. Lavan , Mar 13, 1857 - Mar 9, 1959 (A white Marble stone) 3. Mary B. Levan, Jan 13, 1906 - Oct 17, 1978 (A gray granite stone) All 3 stones were close to each other... William L. Levan
