Hello:

I think that I have made a mistake in claiming Mary Blevins for an ancestor.

The name sounds so familiar.? My Wallins started in VA and came to TX via

Alabama and then settled in Central TX.

?

Good luck with your search as we all know the search continues on!!

I have a infamous thief in Dad’ family. He was a thief in Jersey Channel Islands. Not at all famous generally but famous in the family history world. His name was Theodor Margrie, he went to prison seven times in Jersey because he kept stealing things but, alway got caught. So he wasn’t a very good thief was he. The court got so fed up with him so they sent him to Borsdel in England. They made him a coach to supervisor over men in there and when he went back to Jersey he never stole again!!

I have an 11th great grandfather, Andreas Osiander in Nuremberg, who was active in the Lutheran Reformation. There are accounts that, because of a theological dispute between the two, they split up and went their own way.
