    1. [ILSANGAM-L] Stevens-Antle
    2. I tried to send this information directly to Debbie, but it keeps bouncing. It is rather long and I apologize to the list for this. Hi Debbie, Martha Antle Stevens was the daughter of my GG Grandparents, Rev. John Antle and Elizabeth Buchanan Antle.  I don't have a lot on Martha and nothing on Simon, but I am forwarding the information that I do have.  Hope this helps. Alyce Antle Beggs Descendants of Martha Antle Generation No. 1 1.  MARTHA7 ANTLE  (JOHN6, HENRY5, PETER4, HENRY3 ANTILL, JAMES2, RICHARD1) was born August 08, 1818 in KY, and died May 17, 1890 in Salisbury, IL.  She married SIMON T. STEVENS December 19, 1839 in Sangamon Co., IL.  He was born 1816 in Vermont, and died Bef. 1870 in IL. Notes for MARTHA ANTLE: NOTES:  2/23/99  There is no indication as to where Martha and Simon are buried - EXCEPT that last night I found in the Cemeteries of Salisbury the tombstone of Marshall A. is listed with STS and RCS shown.  Wife, Laura is not buried there nor is son, Andrew Dillon Stevens.  I believe STS is Simon T.
