His parents were John and Rhoda (Smith) Stephens. Rhoda's parents were were Drury and Millie Smith. Many of these Stephens and Smiths are buried at Bruce Chapel, then Jarrell's Cemetery, Carmi twp., IL. These families came from Jackson Co., Tennessee (1850) to Henderson, Kentucky (1860) then to Enfield Township, White Co., Illinois (1870). I have been researching this line for over 40 years. There is no connection to a Job or Mahala in this line that I am aware of. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
