https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/b/i/v/Gary-Keith-Bivens/WEBSITE-0001/...

Following the Revolutionary War there appeared in the Meadow Branch

section of Anson county, North Carolina, three prominent characters:

Nathaniel Bivens, the ancestor of the Bivens' of that section of Union

County, which was at the time, still Anson County; Thomas Griffin, who

served in the Revolutionary War in Virginia, and whose wife, Mary Muillis

of Virginia moved into the same section about the time another very

prominent man who was a Baptist minister, i.e., Rev. Joseph Williams,

Jr. Rev. Williams himself served in the Revolutionary War in the 1st

North Carolina Regiment. Rev. Williams was the ancestor of all the

Williams' in this section of Union County (then Anson).

The Bivens', Griffin's, and the Williams' all lived in the same

neighborhood and intermarried until a great majority of those fol;ks in

the eastern part of Union County are related. Bivens is English in

origin with the name originally Benans. The Bivens' of this family line

originated in London, UK.

Familey of Kintyre, Scotland and Mecklenburg Co., NC and Their

Descendants", complied by Adelaide McLarty, date unknown. The book

reported that about 1740 the Scots began moving in the the Waxhaws from

PA, MD, and VA.. There were 6-7 families there in 1751 followed by

settlers chiefly from Augusta Co., VA. By 1850 there were 8000 white

settlers there. Nathaniel BIVENS served on the first jury of the newly
