William Llewellyn and Elizabeth Hembree (bro of John of Scott Co & Leutian)

Billie Harris - Jun 16, 2011

O.K.   Was the person who compiled this information correct?   He has William Llewellyn's brothers were John (first sheriff of Scott County) and Leutian.   If those are the only brothers, then they wouldn't be the children of Anderson Lewallen who obviously had others - Joel, etc.   So, my question is:   Were they grandsons of Anderson's?   There's a connection, but were they Anderson's sons of grandsons?
