I also found the description of old St. Stephens very fascinating. I recently formed a tenuous connection to the place when I sent away for my great-great-grandfather's land patent for the acreage he purchased from the government in what is now Chickasabogue, I gather, in the 1840's. He had to go to the government land office in St. Stephens to apply for the land patent and the name of this locality is all over his documentation. Bronya Feldmann Berkeley, CA
