Dear Subscribers, Reading the online 1800 tax list of Henderson Co.reminded me that I have a good many questions about David Stephens, who died intestate ca 1813. He had been a quartermaster, as I remember, in the company of Philip Barbour in the War of 1812, but he resigned. I do not know whether he was in poor health or not, but in 1813, he died. From my reading of court records and deeds of Henderson Co., I have gathered the following facts. His widow was Elizabeth [unknown]. His sister, who was a co-tenant in the purchase of Lot 23, later married George Sprinkle, and from time to time, the Sprinkles are found in Indiana. Elizabeth Stephens, widow, married ca 1815 to a widower from Granville Co., NC--Samuel Farrar Williams. Williams had about eight or nine children, most of them grown by this time. Williams had been Elizabeth Stephens neighbor, as he had purchased from the Sprinkles 100 acres of Lot 23. Williams was hauled into court several times for failing to give an account of guardians account for the Stephens children. In 1817, one of Williams's sons, called in 1820 census Samuel Williams, Jr. married his stepsister, Catherine Stephens. [This information is taken from the transcripts made long ago by Ora Chandler. I do not have copies of the marriage bonds
