From Wilkinson County Historical Collections by Maddox (always verfiy this info -- there are some mistakes in this book)
He states John Methvin, b. 1811, was the son of Thomas Methvin. Also states that John Methvin's first wife was Mourning Glover, dau of Kelly Glover. His second wife was Mary Ann Manson, dau of James and Margaret Manson. By 1880 Mary, the widow of John was head of household, living with her: James A. Methvin and Gertrude.
Hope some of this helps.
