PREFACE:

Most likely the first person   with the surname Colvin to arrive in America was
 a certain
John Colvin who came to from England to Dartmouth, MA, between 1679 and 1700.
He moved to
Providence, RI, shortly afterward, probably about the year 1705.  In that year
he bought
three hundred acres of  land near Providence, and in the following year he boug
ht more land
near Nashantatack, on the north side of the Pawtuxet River.  He married Dorothy
 ca 1697
and fathered nine childrenAnna, John, Stephen, Abigail, Samuel, Amey, Deborah,
James, and
Josiah.  Stephen and Josiah are believed to have died very young and without of
fspring.
John married a 2nd time ca 1726 to a Mary Keach.  She bore  him no children.  J
ohn died in
1729.  This first immigrant named John Colvin had a son, John Colvin Jr.  John
Jr., made
his home in Scituate, RI.  He was the father of eight children by his first wif
e Lydia.
These  children were Jonathan, Lydia, Charity, Stephen, John Hopkins, Matthew,
and
Jeremiah.  He 2nd married the widow  Mary Lapham Dyer in 1734.  He 3rd married
Margaret
ca 1757.  Samuel, third son of John Colvin the immigrant, also lived in around
Providence
and Coventry, RI.  He seems to have fathered by his wife Phebe the following
childrenThomas, Daniel, Abigail, Joseph, Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary, Susannah, Rich
ard,
Content,  Phebe, Rufus, and Samuel.   James, the fourth son of  John the Immigr
ant, was
also of resident of  Providence and Coventry.  He fathered the following childr
enBenjamin,
Caleb, Moses, Josiah, Stephen, John David, Henry, and Anne.

Our line of Colvins finds its roots in Culpeper County, Virginia.  As of the ye
ar 2000,
your author has not been able to specifically identify  a connection between th
e Virginia
Colvins and the Colvins of  Rhode Island.  It is known that many of the Colvins
 of Virginia
served in the Revolutionary War (Henry, George, Mason, James, Jeremish, Elkin,
Lowther),
including our Benjamin.

THE  MEANING  OF  THE  SURNAME  COLVIN:

The name of COLVIN is said by some historians to be of ancient Anglo-Saxon orig
in and
derived from one Colvin or Colvinus, who was a tenant-in-chief, of  Devonshire,
England, in the early eleventh century. It was first used as a personal or bapt
ismal name
by the sons of the before mentioned  Colvin or Colvinus.   Some insist, however
, that the
name is Scottish in origin.   More recent scholarship[ points to a Norman origi
n derived
from de Colleville. Guillaume de Colleville and Gilbert de Colleville were both
 knights
who served in William the Conquerors invasion forces, thought it is not clear t
hat these
de Collevilles are related to the Colvins.  At any rate, the names are closely
associated.
An American example may be found at Colvins Mill in Virginia.  The original mil
l was
established by a Coleville in the 1700's, but the name was changed to Colvin so
metime
later.   In the ancient British and early American records the name is found in
 the various
forms of Colven, Colvine, Colvyne, Colwyne, Colwin, Colvan, and Colvin.  The la
st mentioned
spelling is the most generally used in American today.

In England, the Colvins  resided chiefly in Devon (the same area from which the
 Deatons
came), but later settled in London before the beginning of the eighteenth centu
ry.  Of this
line, a certain Jane Colvin was married at St. James, Clerkenwell, in 1733 to T
homas
Brewer.

Elsdon C. Smith, author of New Dictionary of American and Family Names, reports
 that the
name Colvin is of Scottish and Irish descent and means bold or great hero... Th
e name
also refers to one who came for Collerville in Normandy... a descendent of Ceol
evine (ship,
friend).





GENERATION  FIVE:   SARAH   ELIZABETH   COLVIN:

Sarah Elizabeth Colvin (SEC) was born 2-3-1882 in Cooke Co., TX, and married Wi

SECs father , William Henry Colvin, died 1892/1893 and about this time her moth
er, Nancy
Rebecca  Hollis Colvin,    moved her family to Van Zandt Co., TX.  In 1893, Nan
cy departed
Texas for Oklahoma leaving  SEC  behind.  She was hired out (apprenticed?)  to
a family in
Van Zandt Co., and remained with this family until she married Will Deaton.  It
 is not
known why Nancy choose  to leave Sally behind but took her other children with
her to
Oklahoma.   Sally and Will eventually followed and were in Oklahoma by 1901.  T
hey were
part of the Okie & Arkie western migration  depicted in John Steinbecks Grapes

om his
marriage to Lavenia Duncan in 1770 little is recorded about his early life.  Hi
s father
(Major William) served in the French and Indian Wars and saw service and furnis
hed
supplies in the Revolutionary War.  It is likely that John served during the Re
volutionary
Was but there is no documentation of his service. There is no record of him pur
chasing
property until 1786 when he bought 167 acres in Brumfield Parish in the fork of
 the
Rappahanock River on the branches of the Butler Swamp from a certain Charles Ha
lloway.  He
sold this land to a John Mason in 1794, perhaps in anticipation of his migratio
n to
Kentucky.   He likely played a major part in organizing the family expedition t
o Kentucky.
The move, according  to oral family history, was the result of the familys invo
lvement in
the Methodist Revival Movement and their efforts to establish a community that
was
supportive of their religious beliefs.  The party consisting of almost the enti
re William
Lightfoot family including wives and children, and grandchildren would have num
bered about
60 persons.  Their family bible undoubtedly accompanied them and has never been
 recovered
or registered with the Lightfoot  Association or any recognized genealogical ag
ency. The

ndence
between his sister Frances in KY, writing to her brother Phillips in VA.  It is

EPILOGUE:

The Colvins are a colorful, fascinating, if not somewhat mysterious family.  If
  you, dear
reader, are a member of the Colvin clan then one of your ancestors, Benjamin Co
lvin, fought
in the American Revolution.  Benjamin, like Ezekiel Billington, believed in the
 American
dream and fought to establish a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated t
o the
proposition that all men are created equal.   Both men eventually were awarded
with
Revolutionary War pensions for their service.

The Colvins of Virginia eventually migrated to Kentucky and Missouri,  and then
 on the
Texas and Oklahoma.   The reasons for their migration are  unclear.   What drew
 Benjamin
Colvins branch  of the family to Boone  Co., MO, is also unknown.   Why his gre
at
grandson, William Henry Colvin, migrated  to Texas is likewise  unknown.  It is
 known that
a great deal of tragedy followed this family.  Doyle Colvin was killed in a dru
nken brawl
in Boone Co, Mo.  Oral family history also has his son, William Henry Colvin (1
st husband
of  Nancy Rebecca Hollis) being killed in a fight with a neighbor.   William Co
lvin did die
as a young man, probably in Montague Co., TX.,  but the cause of his death and
the place of
his burial has never been documented.  Eventually Williams widow, Nancy Rebecca
, and her
children ended up in Washita and Kiowa Cos., OK.   There, Nancy gave birth to L
uther
Thompson.  Oral history has it that Luther was never accepted by the Colvins an
d he did
report  to his children that he felt  rejected and mistreated by the them.   Yo
ur author
truly hopes that was not the case.  It is known that the Colvins held positive
feelings for
the Deatons (Sarah Elizabeth Colvin married
Will Deaton).  Your authors father, Bernie Deaton, often visited with Lon and O
tto
Colvin.  On one occasion Lon Colvin loaned Bernie Deaton money.  Although it is
 not
confirmed, LDD  believes this was occasioned  by Bernie and Amanda Griffitts  D
eatons need
for money to participate in the great Grapes of  Wrath western migration. Your
author
never had the opportunity to become acquainted with any of the Colvins.  That i
s most
regrettable.  It, no doubt, would have been most informative and rewarding to b
e able to
ask them (the Colvins)  how William Henry Colvin died,  about James Franklin Fr
ank
Thompson, and about their relationship with Luther Thompson.  At any rate,   th
e Colvins
made a substantial contribution to the ancestral heritage of Alex & Zack Haas.
  Sarah
Elizabeth Colvin bore nine children and her grandson eventually  wrote the fami
ly  history
you are now reading.    Three cheers for the Colvins!!.
