“A Short Sketch of the History of My Ancestors, and a Synopsis of My Own Life,” signed Jonathan Blevans, eldest son of Nancy Kirkland and Stephen A. Blevans, from Blevans-Burks History, by Ruth Blevans Ping, 1932, published privately. Transcribed verbatim:"
"My great grand-father, Daniel Blevans, was an Englishman. He and two brothers emigrated to America in an early day, and settled in Virginia when it was an infant colony. He raised a large family of boys, six in number, and one dauther, [sic] namely, Will, Dill, John, Jim, Jonathan and Richard, the last two twins. Richard was my grandfather. He was a tall, robust man, six feel three inches high; he was a raw-boned man, and weighed 190 pounds, and probably if not the stoutest, as stout a man as I ever saw. Best of all he was a Christian, died in the faith, and no doubt is now in Heaven.
"He married a woman by the name of Hannah Ausborn, by whom he had two sons, Stephen and Jonathan, and seven daughters. Polly married a man by the name of John Lay. Jane married Hezekiah Austin. Mary Ann married Henry Canatyn. Rebecca married Jesse Roberts. He had two Sallies, the first died in infancy, and second married a man by the name of Patrick Evans. He married a second time to a widow whose name I have forgotten. She was a Irish woman, and we called her Granny Molly Dick for short. One daughter was born to him by his second wife. She married a man by the name of Hiram Maxwell.
