Notes

  • ----------------------
    Adam and Lucretia’s daughter Juleyan Campbell Blevins, married Reverend Armstead Elza Blevins, Jr. on 28 Oct 1868 in Walker County, AL. I have a copy of Juleyan’s application for admission into the Cherokee Nation for herself and six of her seven sons. (The oldest, my GG-Grandfather General Jackson Blevins, was 24 at the time and not living at home). Here is a copy of the application (it is hard to read):

    The application was never approved, and we have hit a dead-end where Lucretia’s family is concerned. We suspect that her mother was Cherokee and that Lucretia was actually 1/2 Cherokee. But it is also possible that her father John Green, is the same John Green who’s sister Nancy Anne’s descendant Sheri Horton, wrote you that she had proven the Cherokee lineage of John and Nancy Anne’s parents, Meshack and Lucretia Franklin Green.

    Juleyan Campbell Blevins
    Birth Nov 12, 1844, USA
    Death Jan 14, 1921, USA

    Juleyan was the daughter of Adam and Lucresa Green Campbell. She is reported to have had red hair like her father Adam.

    She married Reverend Armstead E. Blevins on Oct 28, 1868 at her family home.

    Her mother Lucretia Green Campbell is believed to have been of Cherokee blood. This is further evidenced by the fact that Juleyan made an application in 1894 for Citizenship in the Cherokee Nation for herself and her sons: Benjamin F., Bird and John Robert (twins), Joseph, Dillard and Armstead A. We don't know why she didn't list her son General Jackson, or her daughters Peggy, Mary and Minolevia "Minnie."

    See the photo of this application: It appears to be dated and signed by Juleyan on 7 Sep 1894. She made the application at 49 years of age as the daughter of "Lucretia Campbell" whom she "believes was an Indian belonging to said tribe."

    We do not believe that the application was ever approved and at this time, have no information as to why.

    She is buried with her husband in the Blevins family cemetery, located on property formerly belonging to her son General Jackson Blevins and later to C.P. White, MD near a house of rock built by G.J. Blevins near McKinley's Chapel in Cullman County, AL near Wilburn and Bremen. The rock house had a building stone (but it has disappeared) that showed:

    Erected by G.J. Blevins August 1907.

    Parents:
    Adam Campbell (1802 - 1873)
    Lucresa Green Campbell (1804 - 1862)

    Children:
    General Jackson Blevins (1870 - 1949)

    John Robert Blevins (1879 - 1959)
    Joseph Blevins (1881 - 1957)
    Dillard E Blevins (1884 - 1963)
