Book Description
Finding the descendants of William Blevins Sr. has been the object of researchers for many decades. The author was happy to learn much about William Blevins Sr. and his ascendants and descendants as he sought information from his family and genealogical researchers who were willing to share information, books that have been written, and a wide range of information available on the Internet. Without all these sources this work would not have been possible. The author thanks all those who have so generously contributed to the information contained herein. They know who they are. Much of what is reported here was obtained from authoritative works and obscure data unobtainable in any single source. Some was also furnished by other genealogists who, with a great deal of patience, answered my questions with detailed responses. Without the material and encouragement of so many generous persons; this report could not have been written. In conclusion, my parting wish is that those persons who have contributed both time and information to this project may read it and forgive me for the errors which have surely crept into it.

Book Description
How Methodist settlers in the American West acted as agents of empire In the early years of American independence, Methodism emerged as the new republic’s fastest growing religious movement and its largest voluntary association. Following the contours of settler expansion, the Methodist Episcopal Church also quickly became the largest denomination in the early American West. With Sacred Capital, Hunter Price resituates the Methodist Episcopal Church as a settler-colonial institution at the convergence of “the Methodist Age” and Jefferson’s “Empire of Liberty.” Price offers a novel interpretation of the Methodist Episcopal Church as a network through which mostly white settlers exchanged news of land and jobs and facilitated financial transactions. Benefiting from Indigenous dispossession and removal policies, settlers made selective, strategic use of the sacred and the secular in their day-to-day interactions to advance themselves and their interests. By analyzing how Methodists acted as settlers while identifying as pilgrims, Price illuminates the ways that ordinary white Americans fulfilled Jefferson’s vision of an Empire of Liberty while reinforcing the inequalities at its core.
