Hi,
I saw your post regarding your research on the Chavis family in Wake County, NC. I am also researching the Chavis family in Wake Co. for my mother-in-law and would like to see if any of our Chavis lines are the same.They also have Native American Heritage.
I believe they originated in Virginia, migrated to Granville
Co. then to the Creedmoor Rd.and House Creek areas in Wake Co. Around the 1930's some of the family moved to Raleigh to the Third Ward area.
This Chavis family were "free" mulattos as many are found in the 1790 census living in the Method Community.
I hope that we can compare notes.
Thanks!

This is a bit confusing because there are so many Locklear and Chavis relations. But here goes. I think your grandmother Bertha Locklear Chavis was the daughter of my Aunt Bertha
Chavis Locklear and Charlie J Locklear. They were born around 1895, so timing is about right for your grandmother to be one of their younger children. It was also common for the younger children to be named after their parents.
