* This John Bevier is an enigma to the genealogists. From various clues about his past and ancestry, I have attached him as a child of Cornelius Bevier. All clues indicate this is his proper place, but cannot be proven. He moved to Cayuga County as one of the earliest settlers in about 1803. He is said to have constructed and operated a flour mill on the Owasco Lake outlet. It is also said that his father and grandfather were in the Revolutionary War. His grandfather was Captain Andries and his father was a young lad that witnessed the Fantinekill Massacre. Ralph LeFevre, in his early book about the settlers and descendants of the New Paltz Patentees, indicates that Cornelius was thought to have eight children, although these have not been positively listed by the previous genealogists. Some of them moved to Owasco in Cayuga County after the Revolution to take up Land Bounty Rights. Almost all of Captain Andries' children did this and took advantage of his Land Bounty Rights. My GG grandfather, Dr. Josiah Bevier, is one of those early settlers. LeFevre also said that the descendants of Johannis (John), one of those children, then moved to Illinois and Wisconsin in later life. The descendants of this Johannis did move to those areas, so I have concluded that he belongs here on the tree. My other choice is to leave him and his descendants off the family tree altogether because it is not a proven fact that he is a son of Cornelius. I am very driven not to leave him and his descendants out of the mix for the next eight or nine generations for this reason. I feel compelled to place him somewhere, so he and his descendants are not forgotten forever. I beg the readers indulgence on this matter.
