How Blevins got its name?

[Cindy Lu]

When my grandparents were living, they told how the town of Blevins got its name. It seems my maternal grandmothers grandmother was a Blevins. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
Have a blessed day.

My Grandfather was born in Waldron. His name was Nathan Fletcher Blevins. He was the son of William Blevins and Cynthia Anthony Blevins. He was born about 1880.

Any relationship to the Blevins's from Chillihowie Va ?

I believe we are. There is a Ken Blevins who works at Kennametal in Chillhowie Virginia and our geonalogy shows a connection. My great grand father was from Trouts Hill ( now Wayne) West Virginia. His father was Daniel Blevins and mother was Sara Belcher Blevins. Daniel was born about 1786 in Virginia. If you need any information I may be able to help. My e-mail is [e-mail]
