Janet... There's this taken from the Vital Stats from NB Newspapers by Daniel Johnson - so there could be more records in New Jersey on Joseph Stevens. http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/NewspaperVitalStats/FullTextResults.aspx?culture=en-CA " The following list contains the names of prominent Loyalists of New Jersey against whom proceedings were instituted in the counties named during the Revolutionary war for the purpose of confiscating their property for joining the New Jersey Royal Volunteers or for giving aid and comfort to the adherents of the Crown. Lawrence A. ACKERMAN, Derrick ACKERMAN, David D.ACKERMAN, John J. ACKERMAN, all of Bergen; ..... *Joseph STEVENS*, Wm SMITH, Stephen SKINNER, Cortlandt SKINNER, Thomas SMITH, James SHOTWELL, Cecil SARGEANT, all of Middlesex; .... " There are also 2 Land Petitions with the name Joseph STEVENS attached to them: 1805 Charlotte Co. & 1813 York Co. The Land Petitions are wonderful sources. There's also a Land Grant for a Joseph STEPHENS 1784 Sunbury Co. Have found no connection to a John Stevens - nor to anyone else, yet.
