I am not a descendant of any CHAVIS, although I do have some in my family related through marriages at different times, however, I have done a bit of research on some of the associated names and wondered if you have ever researched the possibility of your family descending from the group of settlers known as the Lost Colony of Roanoke? I know that some of the Lumbee tribes are supposed to bear the same surnames as some of those early settlers, and one of the rumors has been that some of the colonists went to live with the local Indian tribes and intermarried with them, thus accounting for much of the mixed heritage of the tribes. One of the Colonists was a JOHN CHEVEN, very similiar to CHAVIS and one of the ways the surname was spelled in the past (CHEVES, CHAVES, etc.) The CHAVIS name has been found to be free even before 1650, and it could very well go back to 1587 to the Lost Colonists. A list of the people who settled in 1587 and who disappeared are:

Hi,
I'm searching for info on william c chavis, born in 1854 in burnt swamp nc. his father was henry chavis and mother was annie lowerie. His wife was Avegan lowerie. they had a daughter Molley who married george dial, I cant find molley living after 1904 but they had 3 children that william and ava raised it seems. I just cant find much because I was adopted and by the time I found my family, most were already passed. I am the granddaughter of george and molleys daughter, Ruby Lee. I would love to know more about my family and my native heritage. Thanks everyone
