Hello Janice,

Thank you for your comments and question posted on the ancestry.com message board.

In your first posting you say you “have a John Bevington b Feb 2, 1749 living in Washington Co. PA. who was in the Revolutionary War. His father was Henry m. Ann Blaknon. His father was John m. Mary b in 1727 Cecil Co. Maryland. Nothing before that. There is another John and another Henry that were brothers. They named their kids after their own siblings...very difficult to decipher uncle from nephew. Same with the girls.”

On my RootsWeb site at:

I show John as a veteran of the War of 1812, born 21 MAY 1780 in MD, which would have made him too young for the Revolutionary War. I show him with the same parents as you do and his grandfather is show with John as one of his three possible given names. I added a grandmother Mary based on what you say here.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say “There is another John and another Henry that were brothers. They named their kids after their own siblings”. Are this John and Henry also Bevingtons and in this line? If so, who were their parents?


Then in a second posting you ask, “Could Ole and John be brothers? John was born 1727 and named one of his sons Henry.”

I show the man you call John and I call Thomas or Henry or John born in 1727 having a son Henry alright, Ole Henry. I suppose the could be brothers rather than father and son but why would you think so?
