Here's a source that may be useful for researching your family: Sorted by Name. I found some folks named Javens here and also some Javinses, who continue on the next page and so forth. West Virginia members of the Javins family are well represented.
Comments: Son of Doris Brown, Everett Javins, Brother of Mike, Joe, Dan, Paul, Mary Ann. Joseph and Daniel have entries here. Named after my great grandfather T.J. Buckley. Known as Irish / German decent. Always heard may be part American Indian and / or English. Always thought the English started when Mary Ann fell in Love with the Beatles, but now see there may be some truth in it. For sure came from the " hills of W. V.A. " Hillbilly's ? which I have always held as a honorable boast. Would like to know if any one else has some same traits..... I find my self relaxing and always twitching my big toe. I feel it comes from ancestors possibly relaxing / semi - sleeping on a river bank with a string and some bait attached to a hook to provoke a fish to bite. Please let me know if this is trait of West V.A. Again, I am proud to boast of being from the " hills ". I would fit in, although I live in Fresno, ca. now. Sincerely, T.J. Javins
