Looking for birth record of Elijah/Elias Blevins (K86N-JHZ) in Bath County, KY
Hi everyone! I am looking for the birth record of my third great-grandfather, Elijah Elias Blevins. He lived in Bath County so there is a good chance he was born there. I have his birthday as 17 May 1845 but I haven't been able to find an actual birth record. I am trying to confirm who his parents are by using his birth record. His death record has a George Blevins as his father (can't find a connection) and a Mary Highley as his mother, but that was actually his wife. I have no other clues. Please help me!

Hello Cadence,
Here is the Research Wiki on how to find Kentucky Birth Records.

You may have the wrong father for Elias, K86N-JHZ. Here is a 1860 Census at Ancestry. You can search for it on FamilySearch.org if you don't have ancestry. https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/39168415:7667?tid=19708784&pid=18705772638
You have this as a source but you have one George BelvensLB3B-QMQ as father and a Mary Highey LB3Y-2LC as mother.
Please let us know if this is helpful.

I have a Mary Blevins in my line. Her mother was Elizabeth Shrout and her father George Washington Highley.
I think the connection is doubtful but just checking to see if Shrout's might be a connection?
Hope we can find a fit
