Sorry for the delay in responding to the request on my Stephens line. This is my wife's line; Theresa Diane Vaden Vines Laura Belle Lloyd Vaden Stella Estelle Stephens Lloyd (Stella was born in Tupelo, MS in 1903) Carroll A. Stephens (married Mary Jane Barnes of Itawamba or Lee county) James A. Stephens John Abram Stephens. One source I have found states that John Abram was the first cousin of Zachariah S. Stephens' sons. If this is true, then Zach is John's uncle (doesn't my wisdom and/or logic amaze you). I would love to know which of Zach's brothers was John father. I have the following brothers for Zachariah - Edward, Jeremiah, John Andrew, Joseph, and William. I would also be interested in information on the Randolph family (please see below). John Abram Stephens was born 31 Oct 1817 in Tennessee and died 25 Dec 1878 in Itawamba Co, MS (?). I believe he is buried in the Stephens Cemetery in Itawamba county, MS. John Abram married Elizabeth Caroline Randolph on UNKNOWN in Mississippi. Elizabeth Caroline was born 13 Jul 1825 in Tennessee and died 20 Jun 1901 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. John Abram Stephens and Elizabeth Caroline Randolph had the following children: 1. James A. Stephens was born 27 Aug 1847 in Mississippi. He died 20 Sep 1885 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. 2. Mary Elizabeth Stephens was born 1 Jan 1849 in Mississippi. She died 22 Feb 1881 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. 3. Margaret Ann Stephens was born 1 Mar 1850 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. She died 6 Dec 1880 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. 4. Lucinda Stephens was born 1852. 5. Baby Boy Stephens was born 18 Aug 1853. Baby Boy Stephens died 18 Aug 1853. 6. John A. Stephens was born 1854 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. 7. Zachariah A. (Zack) Stephens was born 1856 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. He died 1929. 8. Sarah M. Stephens was born 1859. 9. Pamila Francis Stephens was born Abt. 1858. She died 1884. 10. Jimima Stephens was born 1864. She died 1886. 11. Baby Girl Stephens was born 10 Jul 1865 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. She died 10 Jul 1865 in Itawamba Co., Mississippi. I am reasonably confident of the data in my wife's direct line and somewhat comfortable with the rest. However, I would love to have further verification/confirmation of what is listed here. I am amazed at how active this list is. I wish some other county list were this active.
