    Notes 
    • According to "Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island," published in Chicago, IL in 1908 by J. H. Beers & Co., the immigrant Bliven ancestors were three brothers, Joshua, James and Edward Bliven, all coming from England and arriving in Salem, Massachusetts before 1650. According to this account, James remained in Salem, Edward's whereabouts are not mentioned, and Joshua is reported as being in Newport by 1669, and it mentions that his sons, James and Edward, both settled in Westerly, RI. This "history" of the Bliven family is, unfortunately, not documented, yet has been copied by many genealogists since 1908 and perpetuated as truth. There is, however, no proof for this origin of the Bliven family. Therefore, this lineage begins with this Edward Bliven of Westerly, RI. NOTE: There is an Edward Blevin [sic] in Oyster Bay, Long Island, NY, who makes his mark as a witness to a deed of James Blevin [sic], dated 1687. An Edmon Blevin also is a witness 12 Apr 1687.
