Died:
Family knowledge has known that grandfather A.J. (Daniel and Elizabeth's son, Andrew Jackson Blevins, grew up an orphan. It is not known if Elizabeth was also killed, or if she returned to Missouri and got sick and died.

Daniel could very well have been killed in Arkansas. Daniel did not live far from the author's O'Neal ancestors, and from O'Neal family history it is known that pro-southern raiders moved through the northwestern Arkansas counties frequently murdering and plundering. Many of the families of this section of the state were for the North. The author's O'Neal ancestors served in the Northern Army, as did many of their neighbors.

There is no way of knowing what Daniel Blevins' political beliefs were. We know that some of his brothers were slave owners and two of his nephews were in Confederate service.

He could very well have been killed by Northern raiders who knew of his slave-holding brothers and Confederate nephews. We shall never know the mystery of Daniel's death or of Elizabeth's early demise.
