I am trying to confirm the relationship of Lucy Coles and Robert Cole, any help you can give me on verifying or maybe helping extend the information listed below would be great.
Lucy Chavis(Lucy Cole): She was born in 1750 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. and she died in 1850 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. She married Robert Cole, and had the following children: Burwell, Jincey, Caty, Thomas, Robert (1774), and Bartlett (1785). Her parent was Catharine Chavis (b. 1734, d. (unknown)).
Lucy Chavis(Lucy Cole) was born the daughter of Catharine Chavis. She married Robert Cole circa 1775. He died circa 1784, and Lucy went on to have Thomas, Bartlett, and Katy. [It should be noted that Lucy allegedly had a son named Burwell. However, I find no Burwell Cole in any census but I do find a Bartlett living near out Israel Cole in 1840. We know that Lucy lived near Israel in 1850, it is very likely she also did in 1840. Lucy Chavis had a sister Betty Chavis (b. 1754, d. 1800), who had a son named John James Chavis who died in Wake County, North Carolina circa 1808 in the home of William Stewart. Lucy's sister Betty had died by then, as Lucy presented testimony that she was John James Chavis' only living relative.

Parzeda Chavis was my great-great grandmother too. She married William Henry Harrison. The following except is from a book written by Arthur Allen which tells of the free negroes in Illinois (they were actually bi-racial):
"Parzeda was the daughter of Washington CHAVIS, a native of Tennessee. On 19 May 1840, Washington CHAVIS, a free man of colour, was given power of attorney by William G. VANN of Jefferson Co., Miss., to take his slaves, Ann, her mother, Cynthia, and her brother Henry, "to either of the State of Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, or any other non-slaveholding State of this United States," where Washington was to be permitted by law, in VANN's name, "to emancipate and set (them) free from the bonds of servitude." They received their freedom on 15 Jun 1840, in Madison, Jefferson Co., Ind. They were described as "a certain Negro woman named Synthia and her two children, to wit, Ann and Henry, which said Negro woman is about 30 years of age, dark complexion, middle size, with a slight scar in the forehead & her child named Ann, a bright mulatto girl rather large size, stout made and about 16 years of age, and her other child named Henry, a bright mulatto boy about 3 years and 6 months o!
ld..."
Parzeda had 13 children: Elmer, born about 1871; Archie, born in October 1883; Persia G., born in January 1887; Jordan C., born in April 1889; and Anna O., born in February 1891 (married on 7 Jan 1909, in White Co., Ill., Frank NELSON, who was born in Nebraska in 1874, the son of Richard and Mary LEWIS NELSON). Anna and Frank NELSON and their son, Lawrence G. NELSON, who was born in 1910, were living with Anna's parents in Carmi in 1910.
Jordan Claude Harrison was my great-grandfather. He married Irene Marshall, a Native American, who had my grandmother, Betty Harrison-Moore and Virginia Harrison.

Hi Janis,
The info. that I have on Maston Cleveland Chavis is mainly oral history. My mother's only living brother grew up in the Marion, IL area and remembers "Uncle Clev". I am more than willing to share what I have. You can email me at: lela_v_browne(a)yahoo.com.
I don't have any photos of Maston Cleveland.
