    1. Stephenson to Bradley County,Arkansas
    2. Tommy Stephenson
    3. I can tell you one person who went to Bradley County,Arkansas and that was Green Stephenson 1821-1875, son of John Stephenson and Eleanor Cooper Stephenson. John Stephenson 1785-1845 was the son of Robert Stephenson and Jane Barron of York County,S.C. Mr. Elmer O. Parker was a descendent of the this John Stephenson and I am a descendent of John Stephenson's brother, Samuel Stephenson b. 1795 to Robert Stephenson and Jane Barron. I corresponded with Mr. Parker for about ten years. He wrote that Green Stephenson sold his inheritance and went to Bradley County,Arkansas to work on the plantation of a James M. Gill in the 1850's. When the Civil War broke out Green joined the 2nd Arkansas Infantry,but was soon discharged because of health. I don't know if Green Stephenson was on a wagon train that went to Bradley County,Arkansas,but according to the late Mr. Parker he went to that county. Mr. Parker was related to Coopers and Walkers in Chester County,S.C. I need some help with John Stephenson or Stevenson who settled on Bullock's Creek in what is now York County,S.C. in 1762. Mr. Parker was never able to determine where John Stephenson lived before coming to York County,S.C,nor do we know the maiden name of John's wife Jane or Jean. Mr. Parker thought that he might have been the John Stephenson and his wife Jane James who sold some land in Augusta County,VA. to William Ramsey in 1752. After John Stephenson died his wife Jane married Alexander Fleming in York County,S.C. about 1773. Alexander Fleming bought from Joseph Kuykendall 285 acres near a stream the flowed from north to south on the south fork of Fishing Creek. Alexander Fleming was killed in the American Revolution and I believe Jane Fleming appears on the 1790 census of Chester County,S.C. as the "Widow Fleming". Jane Stephenson Fleming died in 1793. I am looking for documents which mention Stephensons,Stevensons,Stinsons in Chester County,S.C. and Lancaster County,S.C. and which might mention a John Stephenson and his wife Jane or Jean. Mr. Parker believed that John Stephenson came down the Old Wagon Road to S.C. and not by ship as some of the early Stephensons settled in Chester Co,S.C. Any help is appreciated.
