While searching through Dade County Deeds (I was looking for Hezkiah Stephens), I found a deed for Doctor Stephens. It was dated either the late 1850s or 1860s... I failed to bring my notes in. The next deeds for a Doctor Stephens or Dock Stephens (includes the Stevens spelling) wasn't until close to 1900. If anyone is still interested I post an abstract of it. Sue
