About Nathan Blevins
Not the same as Nathan Charles Blevins
Disputed origins
There is no evidence that Nathan is a son of James Blevins & Elizabeth Ward (they bore their children in Virginia).
From WikiTree Comment:
As reflected in the Research Notes on Nathan's profile, it is disputed whether or not Nathan is actually a son of this James Blevins. There is no clear source supporting this relationship. An affidavit from his Revolutionary War pension file does claim he was born on the Haw River in the Colony of North Carolina, and moved to Grayson County as a young child. There is no evidence that this James ever lived in North Carolina
