This John White Bivens was the son of Alexander Bivens and Martha White Bivens. John was born in 1828 in Humphreys county Tn. He moved with his parents to Benton Co around 1840,where they all resided until their deaths. Alexander was born 1801 in Rutherford Co,Tn.(Murfreesboro). Alexander was the son of Leonard Bivens who supposedly had 15 other sons. I have never been able to absolutely connect with any of the 15 siblings. I have a feeling that some of the Warren Co and Wayne Co Bivens should be related to Leonard because of proxmity.
I have census and court records putting Leonard in Rutherford Co in 1805. There is
also a Fielder Bivens noted in these records but I can't determine if Fielder was a son or maybe a brother. I would like to find someone who has info on Leonard and all his sons.
