Hi,
My ggggGrandparents were John Cheavers(ca.1774) and Rachel Keys/Chess?(ca1775 ) I believe Cheavers is just another variation on the Chavis name. They lived in St. Landry Parish and I am told the family was from the Carolinas. I know nothing more before them. I am stumped. Do you or anyone else reading this post know anything that would help?
Thanks,
Margaret

Can you help me,
My name is Randy Evans Chavis, I live in Clarkton NC, I am trying to do some
genealogy research on the Chavis Family tree, and I dont have much to go on.
I know that father Andrew Evans Chavis was born in Bull Swamp Swansea SC
his brothers names Alti (deceased) and William . His Sisters names were Dolly, Patricia
(Pat). His fathers name was Shuler Chavis, his mothers name was Carrie Ott Chavis.
Shuler Chavis fathers name was Fed Chavis and mothers name was Agnes Miller Chavis.
This is where I need the help, I need any information that would help me trace the family
tree past Fed and Agnes. This my be helpful, at some time the Chavis family may have
lived in Swansea, Orangeburg or Lexington South Carolina. I have also been told that my
great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee Indian. I would like to know if the Chavis
family tree has any native American ancestors. Any information that you may have about
the Chavis family, that would help me in my research would greatly be appreciated.
