POSSIBLE FATHER:
THIS IS UNPROVEN
Speculation is that JGW Biven's father is Abel or William Bivins in the 1830 Census of Wayne
County, Tennessee.
1830 Census of Wayne County, Tennessee
There are 5 Bivins listed on the 1830 Census in Wayne County:on pg. 300 is Stephen Bivins age
20-30 and Abel Bivins age50-60, on pg 301 is Moses Bivins age 30-40 and John G. W.
Bivins age 20-30, then six households away is Obediency Hill (J.G.W. Bivins mother-in-law)
and next to her is a William Bivins age 50-60. I believe that Abel and William are probably
brothers and that one of them is the father of John G.W. Bivins.

MARRIAGE: VanZandt County, Texas-Marriages from 1855 to 1884,
By Exa Thomas, 1966 GS#976.4277 V25T
Record states that Mary Ann Bivins married a Henry Bosen instead of
Henry Boren.
SPOUSE-CHILDREN: Census records show her first daughter being
born in 1849 or 1850. 1860 Census shows her first three
children--Adiline, Martha, Sam--with the last names Bivins, then
Chas H. last name as Boren. Also her first 2 children--Adiline,
and Martha--were both born in Tennessee. This makes me wonder
if Henry Boren/Bosen wasn't Martha's 2nd husband and her 1st
husband is V.K. Massey who married a Mary Ann Bivins on
Dec. 2, 1851 in VanZandt County, Texas. Also on the 1870 Census
Henry Boren is not listed, instead Mary Boren is shown as the
head of the family, but 2 dwellings away from her is a
Samuel Massey age 46---could this be V.K. Massey's brother?
