hi john i am also related to jarvis barnes craven. would like to exchange info hope to hear from you soon

Hi Leatha:

My husbands great grandfather Lawrence Craven was b. in 1856 in Colleton Co. SC. He was living with his great grandfather Jarvis Barnes Craven in 1860 along with his mother and sister Rebecca, but there last name is listed as Williams. He left SC after 1880 and ended up in Oregon where he married Ella Josephine Rose. His eldest son Perry Thomas Craven was my husbands father.

I have a lot of information, and also a lot of questions about the name Williams, and why in 1870 he is living with Jarvis Barnes Craven and his name is now Lawrence Craven.

My husbands name is Lawrence Craven.

I'm wondering what realtion you are to Jarvis Craven? Jarvis Craven was my Grandmothers father. My Grandmother and her brother obviosly had indian blood, no hidding it from their looks. We have never been able to figure out where that connection is. Do you know anything about that? Thanks,John

Roy:

I talked to a few years ago. There is no Indian blood in your background. My husband is Lawrence Deane Craven. He was the son of Perry Thomas Craven brother to your grandmother Dessie Ragan. Their father was Lawrence C. Craven and Ella Josephine Rose. Ella was the daughter of Randolph Rose and Rachel Beaver. The Beaver name comes from the german name Bieber. Rachel was the daughter of Peter Beaver and Susanah Hodson who were Quakers. There is no Indian blood on either side of the family

I don't agree, you can tell by looking at them!

John:
I have been researching this family for the past ten yeats. I have met your mothers sisters Betty and Jane. We have all attended a Rose Family reunion in Roseburg, Oregon. I have found Peter Beaver on the 1850 census in Iowa. My husband and I even visited the cemetery in Iowa where Susannah Frasier Beaver, Peter's second wife is buried. Gayle Mark is the person who gets the organizes the Rose Reunion. She has done years of research on this family. Peter Beaver married Susannah Hodson in 1839 in Hamilton Co. Indiana.

Peter Beaver was the son of Johan George Bieber and Magdalena Garber. Johan was born in Berks Co. PA and moved to North Carolina. He then moved to Ohio where Peter was born. Peter migrated to Indiana where he married Rachel. He and Rachel moved to IA where Rachel died bef. 1850. Peter remarried in 1852.

If you would like any of my information please let me know.
There is no Indian blood in this family, no matter how they look. Bloodline is what counts. I have information on both sides of your family.

Roy:

I have a question for you. Do you have any proof that your great grandmother Rachel Beaver was of Indian descendt? I would like to correspond with you about this, but every time I try to solve this problem you do not answer me back. Your Aunt Jane also thought there was Indian blood in your family tree, but she now believes that Beaver was originally German and was Bieber, which means beaver in German.

Please, lets compare our info. You left me hanging the last time I contacted you.
