Biography
He is the child of David Blevins and Sarah Torbett. He was Justice of the Peace in Meigs TNin 1840.
He was included on the 1833 Rhea County tax list (1 white poll, no property) for the first time and on February 4, 1837, John purchased 160 acres in Meigs County from Joseph McCorkle.
His name appears in several estate settlements in Meigs County, where he purchased such items as saddle bags, a powder horn, a padlock, a set of blacksmith's tools, and several househod items (knives and forks, bowls, pitchers, dishes, a wash pan, etc..)
On November 2, 1857, James A. Darwin was appointed Administrator of the estate of John T. Blevins , deceased. Family tradition says that he was killed in a riverboat fire at Cottonport landing. He probably was buried at Lower Goodfield since their land was just east of there on a small tributary to Goodfield Creek.
James filed an inventory and account of the sale of property held at Cottonport on November 26, 1857, and a year's support was set aside for the widow and children. The sale account includes a list of lumber sold for about 5 , including pine, walnut, and miscellaneous planks and sheeting. Also sold was an engine boiler (to H.M. Bales) for 5.00. On April 25, 1859, an additional lot of lumber was sold for .27.
