I am not sure of my connection to the subject lineage but I suspect it goes back to Hezekiah Ervin from NC. My grandfather, John Ross Ervin, wanted to name his first born, may faher, Hezekiah Ervin back on April 18, 1909 but my grandmother,Buleah Simmons Ervin, prevailed and named him Harry Wilburn Ervin. Two of my uncles are Robert lee Ervin and John Wesley Ervin, twins. My grandmother was a simmions from Johnson County Illinois, near Marion, Il. My father's family grew up between Benton and Commerce, Missouri. I grew up in North Cape Girardeau, Missouri and my brother has a farm near Egypt Mills, Missouri. I have heard of the Ervin cemetary but don't know how to find it. Can you provide more detaild directions and any data as to linage because I always heard that my grandfather, John Ross Ervin, and his siblings were orphans. I know my fatehr had uncled Henry and Thomas and Wilson from Jackson is my father's cousin. Louie Ray Ervin
