I've been doing my family history and I am related to Jarvis Craven from SC Lawerence is my Great Grandfather. If I can help you with anything let me know. John Roy Rjohn25178@aol.com

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.

Ellen 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.

I have a Jarvis Craven that was born in abt. 1859 his fathers name was James and his mothers maiden name was Peeples, there were also several sisters and brothers. they were from Colleton Co. I believe can anyone help me on this.?

several families from the Colleton District of SC migrated to Florida...into Sumter & Polk Counties...

you might want to post some queries on these message boards to flush out some allied families...

have seen the surname "Peeples" in tracking my HARRIS family from Colleton Co, SC to Polk Co, FL

good luck!

I have sent you an email in regards to this posting. I am also including the contents of the email here so that others can see it.

Although I am not a professional researcher, I have done some research on the Colleton Craven lines. In regards to the James Craven who was the father of Jarvis Craven, I do not think that his wife's maiden name was Peeples. From the research I have done, it appears that some researchers have guessed the her maiden name was Peeples because one of her sons was named "Darley Peeples Craven". Therefore, researchers have concluded that since the son's middle name was Peeples, this must be his mother's maiden and was passed on to the son to honor the name.

Darley or Darling Peeples was a well-known minister in the area and many families named their sons after him. I think that probably James Craven and his wife named their son after the minister and that Peeples was not the wife's maiden name. It's just personal opinion, so if you have other information or proof of James Craven's wife's maiden being Peeples, please share it with me.

The only bit of information I have on James' wife is that she was from Maine. This information was included in a short biographical sketch done on one of her sons, Robert Martin Craven, and is included in the book "Montana Its Story and Biography: A History of Aboriginal and Territorial Montana and Three Decades of Statehood, Tom Sout, editor, copyright 1921, Extracted from Chapter 22: Montana's Educational System, Section: State School of Mines, volume 1 p 549." Robert Martin Craven ended up in Montana during the Civil War.

I have other information on this family, namely the children. Perhaps you already have the same information as me, but if not, I am happy to share what I have.

I hope this helps. If anyone else has any other information, please share.
Thanks,
Terri Spencer

i would like to share any info that you might have im kinda stuck at this point you can email me directly

I received your post but don't have your email to directly contact you. If you have a specific question you can write me at rjohn25178@aol.com Looking forward to hear from you, John Roy

saw your posting...my line is through Thomas Craven Jarvis's son I too have been looking for Jarvis's father. Sorry I have no info on the Williams. Reply if you wish to share information.

Just thought I would throw my family hat in the ring as well. I am a decendent of Thomas Craven (1820-1864) who married Dorothy Wasson, son of Jarvis Barnes Craven. I too would love share any info... I had some info that tied JB Craven to the earlier Governor Craven.
Thanks, Kyle

I am a direct descendent of James Craven b 1818. His son D P Craven was my 4th gr grandfather. Need help in finding info on James parents. Thanks

Do you still need info on Jarvis' father? Maebelle Bazzel

Yes please...I would be delighted to know. I also have Bazzel ancestors that I am researching. Stephen Bazzel and his daughter Eliza who married Edward Craven.
Thank you very much Ms Maebelle

Well, you have hit pay dirt. My cousin did years of research and she let me copy them. I don't have all of the Craven info, she turned it over to the Genealogy society in Walterboro, but I have the Bazzle/Bazzel info. You will have to send me your email and tell me just what line you are interested in and I will email to you. Not tonight, I am too tired. But I will get it together this weekend for you.
In the meantime,
Jarvis Barnes Craven, 8-6-1789 to 1877, married Sarah Ann Robertson, 10-7-1797 to 1876.
father was Maj. Robert (Robin) Cravens 1750/60 VA to 1830 Ark., married Abigail Harrison 1780 Ky - 1794 SC.

William s/o Capt Robert Cravens, Sr., 1696 Del or NJ - 1782 VA., married Mary Harrison, 1696 NY - 1781 VA.
There is a "probably" in here and then it picks up again and goes all the way back to 1295. This is from the files of P. VK of Salt Lake City. This line continues from Jarvis to James E. to Robt Martin to Walter Sidney To Robert Wm in Utah. My line comes from Jarvis to Thomas who died in Civil War at Elmira prison, to Edward and Elizabeth Bazzle Craven to Victoria and Stephen Bazzle, to my husband's father and then him. Maebelle

Well you are a godsend! I will send you all pertinent info to your e-mail. I can't thank you enough. It appears we are cousins in fact, my line is through Stephen Bazzel, Thomas Craven, Edward Craven. My gr-grandmother was Lucy Lovey Craven.

Thank you for responding to my search.

I put in earlier message that our family genealogist researched the Cravens and got some info from other people. I don't know if this is proven, but will assume that it is as true genealogists do not put info into their charts unless it is proven. So...

I have Bazzle ancestry from Colleton Co. and would love any information that is available. My GGF was Gabe Bazzle son of John Bazzle.

Gabe Bazzle is buried in Summerville I believe.What is your line down from him? I am from Francis Bazzle who married Mary Sleigh then their son John Bazzle who moved to Barnwell Dist.

In the genealogy society at Walterboro, they have all the information on the Bazzle family from Francis on down. My cousin donated all her info to the society last year. I have copies. Gabe Bazzle was brother to Stephen Bazzle, my husband's grandfather. Stephen had four sons and one daughter. I got to meet Gabe's daughter Anna Bazzle Scott's three sons at our Bazzle family reunion. Which child are you from? Maebelle

I would love to have any info you have on John from Barnwell Dist. We had some. Were any of you able to pinpoint exactly who Mary Sleigh's father was. Were any of you able to go any further back than Francis? Which of John's children do you descend from? My husband is from Francis, then Richard, to William Stephen to John to Stephen and then his father Ambrose. Maebelle

My mother's line is through Francis Bazzle, Stephen and I would love to have copies of the Bazzle information you have. Let me know the cost for copies and I will be happy to pay for the copy and mailing. Thank you

Anna Bazzle Scott was my paternal grandmother. I actually lived with her for many years as a child. You would have met my three uncles. My father was Heyward Scott who died in 1987. I have been trying to not only trace family history but to determine if auto-immune disorders such as Lupus is prevalent in the Bazzle line. I have found that there have been several with similar diagnoses on our (recent generations) Bazzle line but I can't determine if it comes from the Gabe Bazzle line or his wife Ida Sullivan's line.

Would love to know when family reunions are scheduled.

Tonya

I would love for you to come, it is in the fall. I will let you know. Email me at rzldzlbzl@yahoo.com. I don't know about the Lupus, but through our Bazzle line Diabetes is prevalant. My husband and daughter have diabetes. She also has Rheumatoid Arthritis. Lupus was positive at first but during further testing R A was diagnosed. Auto Immune disease is all through my family and also the Bazzle and my husband's mother's line. I guess it is everywhere. email me. Maebelle

Tonya, I am a descendant of Ida's g gf, Daniel R. Sullivan, through his daughter, Eleanor, who married Arthur Hiott, Jr, my gg gf. I can't think of any instances of auto-immune disorders in my line from Eleanor.
