This note was found with some old pictures of family. It was written by my grandmother, Alice Manerva Carson Spalding, born 1874 in Wayne County; died 1959 in Granite City, IL. She was the daughter of Manerva Stevens and Isaac Booth Carson. "Zachariah Stevens (Ohio) and Anna Kendrick (Ky) were parents of 9 children. [The nine looks smudged and darker, like it was changed. Only eight children are listed.] Mahala Sally Polly Rachel Manerva Franklin Henry Joe My mother [Manerva] was the youngest. She died in 1917 at age 84. Her mother died at age 87" [end of writing] According to what I have found, Sally married (1) Taylor (2) Freer; Rachel married Drake; Polly married Nickell; Mahala married Harlin. Polly Nickell and Mahala Harlin gave depositions so that their mother could get a pension for Zachariah Steven's War of 1812 service. I suppose that the Nickells and Harlins lived in Wayne County, IL. A William Stevens testified that he was present at the marriage of Zachariah Stevens and Anna Kendrick, which took place in KY. William Stevens must have lived in Wayne County, IL also. Alice
