Rhea County
"Alfred C. Blevins, M. D., a well-known and practicing physician ofDayton, Rhea County, is a native of East Tennessee, born in what wasthen Rhea (but now Meigs) County, May 27, 1831. His parents, JamesBlevins and Ruth (Rockhold) Blevins, were of English and Irish descentrespectively, and both were natives of Sullivan County, Tenn. Thefather was born in 1803, and died in Meigs County in 1845. The motherwas born February 29, 1808, is still living and makes her home withthe subject of this sketch. They were married in Rhea County (MeigsCounty having been cut off since) in 1826, and passed the remainder ofhis life in that county. The father was in early life a blacksmith,and afterward gave his attention exclusively to farming. He was aDemocrat in his political views, and was a member of the MethodistEpiscopal Church South, of which his wife is a worthy member. Oursubject is the second of nine children, seven of whom are stillliving. He assisted his father on the plantation during his father'slifetime, and secured a liberal education in his youth. At the age oftwenty-one he began the study of medicine by studying under Dr. JohnM. Lillard, of Decatur, Meigs County. After reading one year he wentto Washington, Rhea County, and here he continued to read medicineunder Dr. John Hoyal. He remained at Washington about three years, andin the meantime, in the fall of 1859, he went to the MedicalUniversity of Nashville, Tenn, and attended his first course oflectures. In the fall of 1860 he went back, and in the spring of thefollowing year he duly received his diploma as Doctor of Medicine.July 4, of the same year, he enlisted as first lieutenant of CompanyE, Twenty-sixth Tennessee Regiment of Infantry, Confederate StatesArmy. John Crawford was captain of the company, and John M. Lillardwas colonel of the regiment. He served twelve months in the field, andwas the made assistant surgeon of the Forty-third Tennessee Regiment,of which Dr. James W. Gillespie was colonel. About twelve months laterhe was made chief surgeon of the Third Tennessee Regiment, and servedhis country in that capacity until the close of the war. He returnedhome in July, 1865, after four years' service. In the fall of 1865 helocated five miles southwest of Decatur, and began practicing hisprofession. In the fall of 1868 he purchased the old homestead, andmoved upon it the next year, where he continued the practice ofmedicine in connection with the farming interest up to 1883, at whichtime he moved with his family to Dayton, and soone entered upon alarge practice. In May, 1871, he married Miss Virginia CatherineChatten, a native of Meigs County, born November 10, 1851. This unionresulted in the birth of four children - three sons and one daughter.Dr. Blevins is a Democrat in politics, and his wife is a member of theMissionary Baptist Church. Our subject enjoys the distinction of beingthe man who started to build up and improve the now prosperous town of
Dayton."
