Surnames: Stevens/Steen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XJB.2ACE/284.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I am trying also to clarify the Steen/Stevens of Texas. I will quote from the Historic Marker in DeWitt Co., TX. Joseph (1810-1861) and Sarah Ann Steen(1820-1860)arrived in this area from Rankin Co., MS and bought land from members of Dewitt's colony and began to farm and raise cattle near this site. The 1851 Gravew of their infant son Joseph Enoch Stevens has the oldest marker in this family burial ground. The infant's grandfather Elisha Stevens (1776-1851) was laid to rest nearby a few months later....etc. Any Connection?
