Vernon (the county seat after 1825) Posey Co IN, listed under "Ma-k Llewellyn," "Ma-k" being an abbreviation for Meshack, and the two capital Ls clearly intended as part of the surname. In the household are two males under 16, one 26-45, 3 females under 16, one female 26-45; two persons were engaged in agriculture. This family, however, may not be ours."

Does anyone know who the John Lawlin in 1810 or the Henry, Jesse and Mathew Lewellen in 1830/31 are? Wayne County, Kentucky now borders Scott County, Tennessee. Anderson Lewallen moved from Wake County, N.C. to what is now Scott County, Tennessee about 1811. Are any of these individuals connected to Anderson when he was in Wake County? If so, I'll edit that information above so we'll know which line they go to.

Attention Darlene:
Could this Mathew Luellen - Tennessee on the bottom of this section be your Mathew?
WAYNE COUNTY
(NOTE: Wayne County KY borders Scott Co. TN)
1810 - Census shows John Lawlin

Jesse Luellen - Tennessee

Darlene Luallen Griffin - May 25, 2014
Hi Dorothy! Somehow I missed your post!!! I have seen this record before. In 1831, my Mathew would have been only 10 years old. I have wondered if any of these men could be
my Mathew's father. Recent DNA has linked my family to a descendant from Richard Luallen/Lewallen/Llewellyn in Anderson Co, TN. But I don't have a paper trail beyond my
Mathew, b. 1821. I feel like he is still somehow connected to your ancestors (Andrew L, John) because they lived so close. My cousin matched 66/67 markers with a descendant
of Zachariah Davis Lewallen who also lived nearby. I feel that Mathew and Zachariah were probably brothers. They do not match the other Lewallens in Scott County. To complicate the entire situation, we match Davises and Sessions at 111 markers. Zachariah's descendant did not test at 111 but I suspect he would remain a close match.
Billie Harris - May 25, 2014
Darlene: Do we have the line of Davises who match with your Matthew?
Darlene Luallen Griffin - May 26, 2014
The Davis line that Matthew matches with can be traced back
to Nathan Davis, born between 1765 and 1784 in Lincoln
County (now Gaston), North Carolina. His son William Davis
moved to TN about 1825, eventually settling in Monroe county.
I know there were Davises in Morgan/Scott Co, TN. In fact,
two Davis daughters married Lewallens. I have not found
anyone from those families who has done DNA testing. It is
interesting to me that the Davises who have done the DNA
testing and match with Lewallens/Sessions do NOT match with
the hundreds of Davis kits. The Davis researcher who
contacted me in 2011 has been uncooperative with me and
with Sessions researchers.
