Joseph Lawrence Bevins and his wife, Lucy Eliza Robinson were my great-grandparents. All of their children are deceased now and their grandchildren are either deceased(like my Dad)or getting older. I'm hoping to find an answer to this puzzle. My Grandmother, Lucy Anna(Annie)Bevins Mills was the youngest of Joe and Lucy's children. She had a small notebook in which she kept notes of important family events. I'm not sure how many kids Joe and Lucy had. I'm sure of James Lawrence, Robert Lee(Lee), Elsie and Grandma. But, in her notebook, Grandma had written "William" between Lee and Elsie. Did they have a stillborn baby? A child who died very young? Or am I just remembering wrong? I didn't inherit that notebook & haven't seen it since I was a teenager(probably the late '60s or early '70s). If any one can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

Corrections in your family tree. Mary Polly Williamson's parents were:
John Williamson and Elender Day. Not Benjamin Williamson and Lucretia Scott. Also Joseph Bevins, Jr., who was James G. Bevins' father was married twice. His 2nd wife was Lydia Ratliff. They had the following children:
1) Mary married George Hatfield
2) Joseph Floyd married Vicey Runyon
3) Anna drowned as a child.
Where did you find your information? I have marriages for all of James G's brothers and sisters if you are interested. I'm always interested in meeting family. How are you related?
