The Blevins men were among the Overmountain Men from Pittsylvania, Henry County, Virginia to settle the Holston in Sullivan County, Tennessee. As with all information there are still many differences in agreement on the Blevins family line. This is the best approximation on my part and my sources. Thank you!

I found that Nancy Fletcher would often show up as Nancy Miller in the census reports. This is again probably due to confusion on the part of the census taker. Nancy's mother was Minerva Miller prior to becoming Minerva Fletcher.
