I have been researching Overton and Habrum Sutherland of Guilford County, NC to determine if they might be related to my ancestor Alvis Sutherland who is seen along with another Sutherland named Frances "Fanny" Sutherland on the 1820 Guilford County US Census report. Frances appears to be a widow as there is no male of the right age living in her household. I believe she later married a Rueben Minor. My ancestor, Alvis moved on to Roane County, TN by 1830 and died there in 1939. I have never been able to determine his parents. However his name is unique as is the names Overton and Habrum, so I am wondering if they might be related. One researcher indicated Overton (b 1803) was the son of Overton Sr. (b1772). There is no documentation on her tree to prove this or indicate where this information came from so it may be just speculation. If you do find any indication that Alvis was related to your guys please let me know. By the way, Alvis also had a younger brother named Robert Henry if this is of any help. Robert moved to Tenn with Alvis before 1830.
