Comments: Hi there,
Saw your webpage while looking for anything pertainng to the family name Javins. My paternal grandmother was a Hattie Clyde Javins from McDowell County in WV. She married a W.J. Vannoy and lived out her life in the McDowell County/Mercer County area. I always heard the name is Jewish. Do you have any information you can share with me?
Thanks so much,
Gerri Vannoy Mitchell

From: Timothy J. Javins - googooandgaga@sbcglobal.net
Comments: Son of Doris Brown, Everett Javins, Brother of Mike, Joe, Dan, Paul, Mary Ann. Joseph and Daniel have entries here. Named after my great grandfather T.J. Buckley. Known as Irish / German decent. Always heard may be part American Indian and / or English. Always thought the English started when Mary Ann fell in Love with the Beatles, but now see there may be some truth in it.
For sure came from the " hills of W. V.A. " Hillbilly's ? which I have always held as a honorable boast.
Would like to know if any one else has some same traits.....
I find my self relaxing and always twitching my big toe. I feel it comes from ancestors possibly relaxing / semi - sleeping on a river bank with a string
and some bait attached to a hook to provoke a fish to bite. Please let me know if this is trait of West V.A. Again, I am proud to boast of being from the " hills ". I would fit in, although I live in Fresno, ca. now.
Sincerely,
T.J. Javins

From: Mary Ann Javins
Comments: I am Mary Ann (Javins) Holman. I am the daughter of Everett Javins, sister to Michael, Joseph, Daniel, Paul & Timothy John (T.J.) Javins.
I have done sporadic searches of Javins' relatives with little success ever since I was in college. That is where I discovered the English link to our family name. Also the multiple spellings of Javins and a French spelling of Jefon.
I did contact an aunt (sister to my dad), Louise, I think her name was. She still lived in Racine, WV at that time (mid)70's). I also was contacted by a distant cousin, Linda (I think) who lived in VA if I remember correctly. She knew my dad's sister well. Unfortunately I have lost her email addy & have since changed mine.
This is a great site for gathering all sorts of information.

From: Paul Javins - webedivn@sbcglobal.net
Comments: Well the Javins now has its own website finily! Its good to see. My father Everet lived in the hills of W.V and had a sister who was a manager of a nursing home in Charleston I forget her name. My father always said that we had Indian blood somewhere long ago. I am the Big brother of Mary Ann and Tim or (T.J. Javins)
My Brother Dan stated that he found our name dating back to the 1500's in England after a battle. The person was taken to a hospital to be treated which his name was recorded. The the next date was in the 1700's in W.V.
I know if you look at the address of people with the Javins name many still live or are from W.V or Ohio. Which stands to reason.
Well Tim I hope you catch a fish and it does'nt pull you big toe off.
Paul E. Javins From Wisconsin (Home of the Packers) Who lost agin!

From: Charles Kinder - b.kinder2@verizon.net
Comments: Daniel Javins Jr. married the widow of John Henry Kinder. Her maiden name was Margarget (Peggy Gompton) Compton.Peggy's mother was captured by Miami indians. She had Peggy who was fathered by an indian. John Kinder was also captured by indians, met Peggy and they were married. they had twins named John Jr and Barbara and perhaps a third child. After John died in an indian raid Peggy married Daniel Javins Jr and they had a number of children. Thus we have both Javin and Kinders from Boone county (WV) with indian blood. Thats my story and I am sticking to it.

I am from the Javens side of the family and the PA. part of the U.S.A. they are as follows:
James C. Javens 9-1929
Ira Javens 7-1900 wife Idella Brenneman
George B.C.Javens 11-1876 wife Arabelle Hendrickson
George William Javens 1849? or 1852 Born PA wife Eliza Stuck
George Javens 1826 wife Susanah Smith
Joseph Javens-1798 wife Hannah
John Javens 1767 wife unknown
I would love to find the tie in to our families from the south. My father was told as a child that two French brothers came over in the 1600's to Jamestown and went into the woods. His side ended up in the rural area of PA.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Can you help me?

I am looking for relatives of Rader Javins of Irwin PA. My mother, Donna Lou Saunders, may have been a Javins. Her birth is a little sketchy. She was born to Helen Moberly of Huntington, WV. and somehow related to Rader
Javins, Peggy White and Billie Hicks. I have just found letters from them
having made the connection with my mother in the early 1970's. Do you have
any information on any of these names?
Thanks so much!

I was born a w.v. javins and was told all my life that javins was scots-irish protestant....and that was me. well many of my friends were interested in heraldry and geneology, some of them even from ireland and scotland and all agreed in telling me- no there is not any javins family name from ireland or scotland. i felt misled by my parents and was very disappointed. i just went on yet it bothered me....its my surname shouldnt i know the truth of where its roots rest. West Virginia!!!-and that most certainly is true especially after 4-5 + generations and i salute all who smile in the comfort and assurance of that indeed. your 100% right on! yet i ended up finding out a bit more. i currently live in israel married to an israeli jewish man and upon my 1st trip here i noticed an old squirlly looking blue eyed man in the hallway of our apt. building. my husband told me he was a "JAVINS" from poland who migrated here. years later i moved to the north of israel in the golan heights and discovered on one of the older kibbutz there are about 5-6 different javins/javinski families all from an eastern european ( askenazi jewish descent).i have not had the oppurtunity to go and speak with any of them yet perhaps in the spring i will return to their area and do so. javins is appearently a somewhat common israeli name, funny- suprize,who'd of ever thought...

Virginia Javinses may want to check the Obituary Index to the Alexandria Gazette for names starting with J published by the Alexandria Library. Also see the 1850 Census Index for Alexandria which includes a number of Javins names.
