About Daniel 'Longhunter' Blevins
Two known children were Daniel Blevins, Jr. & John Blevins
Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blevins-111
Daniel Blevin (aka Blevins) was the son of of James Blevin and Margery Tosh. He was born in about 1712 in Westerly, Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.[1]. Sometime between 1718 and 1733, his family migrated from Rhode Island to settle on the western Maryland frontier in the Monocacy Hundred of what was then Prince George's County, Maryland.[2]. His father James appears as the head of his household in the Monocacy Hundred in 1733. Daniel also appears on that list, as does Elisha Walling, the husband of his likely sister Mary.[3][4]
Pittsylvania County was carved out from the western portion of Halifax County in 1767, and several Blevins men appear on the list of tithables for Pittsylvania County in 1767, including a "John Blevins (son of Daniel)."[14] Daniel himself does not appear on this list.
However, he does appear to have still been in Pittsylvania County at that time because in 1771, Daniel Sr., his wife Sarah, and his son Daniel Jr. executed a document of particular importance for Blevins researchers: a power of attorney in connection with their efforts to pursue a property interest that Daniel and his son Daniel claimed in land located in Westerly, Rhode Island.[15] This power of attorney was executed on 1 July 1771, and proved in court in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, on 27 September 1771. It establishes:
- Daniel was still living in Pittsylvania County in 1771
- His wife was named Sarah (____), also still living in 1771
- He had a son named Daniel, who had already migrated west to Botetourt County, Virginia, by 1771
He claimed an interest in 100 acres of land located in Westerly, Rhode Island; likely land formerly owned by his father James before their migration south from Rhode Island to Maryland almost forty years earlier. The details of Daniel's death are uncertain, but he died after September 1771, probably in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
Children
There appear to be only two proven children of this Daniel:
- Daniel Jr., who appears with Daniel Sr. on the 1771 power of attorney
- John, who appears as "John, son of Daniel" in the 1767 Pittsylvania list of tithables
As discussed in the research notes below, there have been many other children previously attached to this Wikitree profile, without any reliable source.

Disputed Origins
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blevins-111
Many published sources and online family trees incorrectly identify the father of the 5 siblings, James Blevins, Mary Walling, Daniel 'Longhunter' Blevins, John ‘Jack’ Blevins and William ‘the Elder’ Blevins as William ‘Old Bill’ Blevins. The earliest researcher known to have made this claim is Bill Dwayne Blevins, in his book < Blevins Ancestry>, self-published in 1972. Blevins does not identify his source.[17] Other researchers have repeated this claim, but all appear to ultimately be relying upon Bill Dwayne Blevins.[18]
This claim has been disproven. For details, see the profile of < William Blevins >, the profile of < James Blevin >, and <"The Unique Signature Marks of Two James Blevins: A Key Clue to the Origin of the Southern Blevins Family" >.
Some have also identified their mother as Ann Blevins, or as Mary Bean. These claims are disproven for the same reasons.
Disputed Spouses
The 1771 power of attorney establishes that Daniel's wife's given name was Sarah, but her last name at birth is unknown. Prior versions of this profile have identified his wife as Sarah Belcher and also as Sarah Sutton. No source was cited for either of these claims, other than Leslie Blevins' book The Longhunters, which claims he was married to both Sarah Belcher and Sarah Sutton but cites no source for either claim.[19]
Please do not reattach either spouse without first posting a comment for discussion on this profile citing a reliable source for the claim.
Disputed Children
The following children, previously identified without any reliable source as the children of this Daniel, are disputed for the reasons noted below:
- William ("Devil Will") Blevins (abt.1742-aft.1766) -- This William was the son of John Blevins.[20]
- John "Jack" Blevins (aft.1748-abt.1816) -- This John (Jack) was the the son of John Blevins.[20]
- Dillon Blevins (1748-1836) -- This Dillon was the the son of John Blevins.[20]
- Henry Blevins (bef.1759-1847) -- This Henry was likely the the son of John Blevins.[20]
- James Blevins (1761-aft.1834) -- There is no evidence that this James, who claimed in his Revolutionary War pension file that he was born in New England in December 1761, was the son of Daniel. His origins are unknown.
- Jonathan Blevins & Richard Blevins (said to be twins, born about 1763) - There is no evidence connecting this reported pair of twins to Daniel. This claimed connection appears to be unsourced speculation by Leslie Blevins based on the Jonathan Blevans story discussed below.
- Nathan Blevins (abt.1763-1834) -- According to his Revolutionary War pension, this Nathan was born on the Haw River in North Carolina. There is no evidence that he is connected to Daniel nor any evidence that Daniel ever lived in North Carolina.
- Joseph Blevins (bef.1767-bef.1840). There is no known evidence connecting this Joseph to Daniel. This claimed connection appears to be unsourced speculation by Leslie Blevins.
- Elisha Blevins (1767-1839). There is no known evidence connecting this Elisha to Daniel. This claimed connection appears to be unsourced speculation by Leslie Blevins.
- Lucinda Blevins (1765-1814) - There is no known evidence that Daniel had a daughter named Lucinda. This Lucinda is said to have been born in Buncomb County, North Carolina, in 1765. There is no evidence that Daniel ever lived there.
Please do not reattach any of these children without first posting a comment for discussion on this profile and citing a reliable source for the claim.

GEDCOM Note
Biography
Daniel Blevins #2 (3rd gen.) (William#2-2, William#1-1) b. ca 1714. Daniel #2 and brothers John, James and William #3 had homes on Smith’sRiver by about 1748 in an area that became Montgomery Co., Va, and their wagon road there was referred to by surveyors. They were joined there by their father, William #2, and then relocated to the Little River area in what was then Pittsylvania County, Va, in the 1760s where Daniel #2 owned land on Marrowbone Creek south of Martinsville in an area now in Henry Co. Va. Daniel #2 appeared on the ‘New River tithables list’ at the head of Little River, in 1771. Little River empties into the New River about 3 miles west of Baywood Va. “Blevins Crossroads” is located along the Little River about 5 miles south of Baywood. Daniel #2, William #3, and William #4, and their families, left the Little River area in the mid 1770s. Daniel #2 along with William #3 wentinto North Carolina and settled along the Holston River in an area that is now in Sullivan Co., Tn. This move was most likely due to a 1774Virginia decree that they feared would force them off the land, and to pay back-rent if they didn’t leave the Little River area. Daniel #2 married Sarah Belcher about 1750. Sarah Belcher (1729-1799) a daughter of Benjamin Belcher and Sarah (Collins) Belcher.
