I am researching a relative who, according to his widow's Civil War pension app, died in Stephensville, Fl. She applied for the pension in Lafayette County. I've checked Lafayette, Dixie, Madison and Hamilton counties and tried the local USgenweb pages and also the USGS mapping link. Stephensville, Fl. doesn't exist (nor does Stevensville). Can anyone tell me where Stephensville, FL is/was? Thank you.

Utilizing the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) search form at <http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form> I entered Stephensville, FL as a populated place and received 0 hits.
