My mother was raised by William Lawrence Trevathan (1894-1945) (she was
the orphaned niece of Lawrence's wife, Lilly White). Lawrence was the
son of Henry Lewis Trevathan (brother to Robert Dempsey Trevathan) and
Claudia N. Billups of Rocky Mount, NC. H. L. was in turn the son of
William Carter Trevathan and Sarah Jane Price. W.C. was the son of
Dempsey Trevathan (1804-1875) and Mary Elizabeth Sory. In a booklet
published in 1940 and authored by Robert Dempsey Trevathan, whom you
have a short biography of on the Trevathan page, it is said that Dempsey
and John, brothers and sons of Robert and Grace Trevathan came to this
country from France bet 1820-1825. Yet the Trevathan/Trevethan Genealogy web page
says that Robert (m. Grace) was the son of Robert the son of William of
cornwall who came to this country in the 1600's. Could someone please
update me on William Carter Trevathan's ancestry. Lawrence Trevathan
was a wonderful father to my mother (she named my brother after him) and
in his memory and for her 80th birthday in March, I am trying to compile
an accurate account of the family. Does anyone know of this French
connection? Also, Does anyone have any information on Claudia Billups,
Lawrence's mother, who married Henry Lewis Trevathan? Any help will be
appreciated.
