1. Major Charles Robertson Sevier, born 1778 in Virginia, according to the 1850 census of Madison Co, Tennessee; died in 1855 near Milford, Ellis County, Texas. He married Elizabeth Witt of Greene County, Tennessee.

2. VALENTINE SEVIER, b. July 8, 1780 in Washington County, Tennessee. He married Nancy Dinwiddie, daughter of James Dinwiddie and Isabel Galbreath Dinwiddie, on January 3, 1804. He married, second, Vinerah Cannon, on April 26, 1846.

It is possible that Kesiah Sevier remarried, to Major Jonathan Tipton, but Charles Robertson's will of 1798 refers to her as Kesiah Sevier.

It is clear that two men had great influence over the upbringing of Charles and Valentine Sevier - General John Sevier and Colonel Charles Robertson. Charles was apprenticed to a hatter in Greeneville around 1790, but didn't like the work and went to live with his uncle, Charles Robertson, Jr., on his Chucky River farm. He and his partner, James Dodson, actually did manufacture hats later on.

Charles served in the War of 1812 as a major in Col. Thomas McCrory's Second Regiment, West Tennessee Militia. He is listed in the Madison County, Tennessee Census for 1830.

Valentine Sevier lived with John Wilson for a time, later was apprenticed to David Deaderick in Greeneville, Tennessee, working as a clerk in Deaderick's store. They later became partners, and Valentine continued to run the business after Deaderick's death in 1824.
