James Blevins

James Blevins was born 25 Dec 1761. He was a Private in the Continental Line during the Revolutionary War, serving as spy or ranger. James married Hannah O. on 4 Jan 1793, and had children.

James and his family lived in Lee, Virginia from 1810 to 1820, then settling on a 50 Acre land claim in Caines Creek, Kentucky in 1823. James died on 28 Nov 1843, and is buried in a graveyard beside Caines Creek road.

Hannah is thought to be a Lyons name comes from the second Revolutionary War Claim #5221. In this claim James states he married “Hannah Lyons” January 4th, 1793, in Virginia. Hannah O. was Hannah Osborn a dau. of Enoch Osborn and his is the only known instance where the name Lyons is used officially in connection with Hannah. This claim was not completed by his death. Hannah O. submitted another claim as his widow and in that claim, she refers to herself as Hannah O. and some have theorized correctly she is the daughter of Capt. Enoch Osborne and Jane Hash. Hannah O. was about 33 years old in 1793 and had an earlier husband and this writer concludes Hannah O. was the mother of his ancestor William and James with the father being Nathan Blevins. This is due to several known facts including the fact that William eventually moved to Lawrence Co., Ky, which move was most likely to be near his mother Hannah in her old age and near other members of his family.
