Book call " Index to Revulutionary War Service Records,Vol IV: S-Z. trnscibe by Virgil White" Page 2469 " Sievely,John, srv as PVT in Va Troops, card #4704 roll#47.
John married a lady name Leah. Somewhere between 1782-1798 and someplace.LEAH WAS KNOW AS BETTY ROSE IN NORTH CAROLINE. I found that this information in book call "TENNESSEE CIVIL WAR VETERANS QUESTIONAIRES.PAGE 2061." Leah Scivally: John Scivally; was betty Rose ; in North Caroline." The question was ask to her grandson J.C. TIPPS. J. C. is the son of Michael and Leah(her daughter) Tipps. I am not sure that this story is true. I know that John was not in NC during that time. I am not sure it Leah was Betty Rose. In the Virginia Marriages early to 1800. There is a Seevy,John m'd Hollars,Eve on 12 Jan 1799 and this is about the time John m'd Leah. Could this be Leah and with John sister name Eve he call his wife Leah.
John and his family left NC sometime and went to Al because their third son was born in Al. They return to NC had a fourth child then move to Tn.In 1807 they can be found in Knoxville area.
