Their first son John was born in 1822 'according to his gravestone] in Indiana. Mary Chilcote's father, Robinison L. Chilcote & family lived in Randolph Twp., Dearborn co IN in 1820 as did her brother Benjamin & his family. MARY's sister Permelia was married to Frederick Corrick who lived in Laughrey Twp. of Dearborn Co. in 1820. Mary's sister Jemima was married to George Corrick and they lived in Hocking co., OH in 1820. Prior to coming to Dearborn, Robinson L. Chilcote was living in Randolph Co., VA [his dau. susannah married there in 1808, he was on 1810 census there and his dau. Permilia married there in 1813, so they moved to IN between 1813-1820. Prior to living in VA, Robinson Chilcote lived in Huntingdon Co., PA. with his family. There were a number of Stevens living close by in Huntingdon, including Peter, Vinson (Vincent?), ! William and others. Robinson's wife was Betsy Wright, d/o John Wright and Jemima Hendon. robinson and his wife were born in Baltimore Co., MD. William Stevens & his wife Mary chilcote moved to Hocking cO , OH by 1825 as did Mary's sister Permelia Corrick & her husband Frederick Corrick. On the 1850 census, his birthplace was listed as OH, but on 1860,70, and 80 it is listed as NY. there were only 2 Stevens families in Dearborn Co in 1820 and I don't know if related. One was the family of Ranna [aka Rene, Romeo] Stevens who was b. in Nova Scotia in 1787 and he was in Sparta Twp. The other family appeared to be 4 brothers or other close relatives. there was a census entry for Obadiah Stevens in Laughrey Twp. age 26-45 [ but there were 2 other males of the same age, so one could be William]. Also in Laughrey Twp as the next entry on the census was Charles Stevens age 26-45 and family. I have a suspicion that William may be related to the Uriah Stevens family of CT who lived in the Wyoming Vlley of PA in the 1750's, then later in Albany Co., NY in the 1780's. this was an extended family that spread out across PA and westward. Charles Stevens in Dearborn named a son Uriah and he had a son Silvester also. Those names both appear in the extended stevens family related to the Capt. Uriah Stevens, Rev. War vet of CT, PA, NY. All just circumstantial now ...still working on proof.
