Notes |
- Tarleton Blevins, the eldest son of Stephen, Sr. died intestate probably in early 1841 in Missouri. Stephen Blevins, Sr. was appointed as administrator of his estate on October 2, 1941. Security was posted by Andrew Blevins and Davis B. Wood. Tarleton Blevins' heirs were Stephen Blevins, Sr. and the following brothers and sisters: Daniel Blevins of Caldwell County, Missouri; Elisha Blevins of Bates County, Missouri; Edward Corder,, Ezekiel Blevins, Rebecca Woods (formerly Rebecca Blevins), Rachel Blevins, William Blevins, Riley Blevins, and John Blevins, all of Johnson County, Missouri.
Theory that James, Edward and Franky are siblings and children if E.R. Corder is,
first: E.R. Corder is nearby Daniel Blevins in 1840 Caldwell, MO census. Daniel m Franky Blevins, Daniel's daughter.
second: Tarlton's estate settled by dividing among siblings: Edward Corder listed as a brother as he was the husband of his sister.
third: Rebecca Blevins Woods also listed as a sister. She married 2nd James Corder, as proven by marriage record of James Corder and Rebecca Woods marry.
fourth: James was in Whitley Kentucky, age 20-29 (1811-1820; wife of same age, and a son and dau under 5. The Blevins had lived in Whitley before going to Missouri. Franky Corder (his apparent sister) had married Daniel Blevins there in 1822, and their first two sons were born there in 1825 and 1826. Elisha Blevins, Daniel's brother, also married Polly McKee there in 1819. In fact, Rebecca was born in KY; so likely it was Whitley.
They are in Missouri by 1833 when Rebecca marries and Edward and Frankly's first child is born. (if Rebecca was indeed born 1820, she was only 13!!) So, it looks like the families left KY and went to MO between 1826 and 1833. It's likely that James' 1st family went as well.
By 1850, Rebecca is widowed and head of household with 4 Wood children and one daugher, Nancy Corder. What happened to James' first wife and kids?
The Blevins had been on the move, tracking their path of migration through the birth of their children. The first one were born Virginia, then in Tennessee, then Rebecca in Kentucky.
