A recent Memorial Day weekend trip to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia (at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers) to do some sightseeing and cycling along the C & O Canal Trail led to some unexpected information. We stopped in Harper's Ferry and unloaded the bicycles from the car and picked up the town brochure (one of those brochures you get for the map, never fully intending to read the whole thing) from the park ranger. While taking a break from our cycling, and eating our lunch, I took the time to actually read the rest of the brochure, and to my amazement (and groans from my wife) I discovered the following statement in the Civil War section: "Harper's Ferry was still a relatively young town, although its origins could be traced to 1733, when a Pennsylvania Dutchman named Peter Stephens settled here and began a ferry boat service. In 1747, Robert Harper, a Philadelphia millwright and the man for whom the town is named, bought out Stephens, improved the fer! ry operation, and built a gristmill on Virginius Island." Is this the same Peter Stephens. who found the town of Stephensburg (now Stephen City) 40 miles southwest of Harper's Ferry? I believe so. The following is somthing I've put together for my family from a number of sources online and in other family trees. I don't have all the documentation, nor did I do all of the research. Our Stephens Family ancestry begins in Germany with Peter Stephens, who probably immigrated to America with the Hite Family, settling in New York before migrating south to Pennsylvania and finally Virginia. Peter Stephens Sr. was born in 1690 in probably Heidelberg, Germany. Peter's naturalization oath read that he was a native of Heidelburg, Germany. His parents names are not known. One hypothesis gives indication that Peter Stephens could be the son of Gabriel Stephan. In 1701 at Steinsfurt Reform Church, Christian Neuschwany , son of Peter Neuschwany, married Anna Magdelena, daughter of Gabriel Stephens. Speculation is that Gabriel may have been the father of Peter Stephans. There is little known about his early history or the exact date he came to America, but since he seems to be so closely identified with Jost Hite, it is presumed that he may have come to this country with Hite, settling, first, in Rockland County, New York, later coming down through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the Valley of the Shenandoah River in Virginia with Hite and others about the year 1732. When Peter Stephens arrived in the Shenandoah Valley with Jost Hite's colony of 16 families, there were no settlements except along the seaboard. This little colony comprised the first white men to settle west of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. They were opening the new frontier in America. Peter was married on 17 November 1712 in Philadelpha Pennsylvania to Maria Christina Rittenhouse, born in 1695 in Germantown in Philadelphia, and is the daughter of Nicolas Rittinghousen and Wilhelmina DeWees. Family legend, only, says Peter's wife was Maria Christina Rittenhouse. It is believed this Rittenhouse identification comes from a book by Dan V. Stephens, Peter Stephens and Some of His Descendants, 1690-1935." This was only family tradition and without documentation. That she was a Rittenhouse is in question because Lewis Stephens, the eldest son of Peter Stephens absolutely married Maria Rittenhouse and this marriage is documented in her father's will. Peter and Maria had seven children Lewis, Margaret, Lawrence, Maria Christina, Mary Magdalena, Henry and Peter. There is a tradition in the family that Peter had a previous marriage and that his eldest son, Lewis, was a child of this union. Peter Stephens first settled at the head of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, when in 1733, he settled at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, where he set up and operated a ferry boat service. He sold this land and ferry in 1747 to Robert Harper, who renamed the area Harper's Ferry, in what is now West Virginia. Harper's Ferry, of course, became famous because of the Abolitionist John Brown. He headed further south into the Shenandoah Valley to land he already owned and founded the town of Stephensburg. Jost Hite settled in Opequon while Peter traveled a few miles further south and settled on Crooked Run, near which he founded the town of Stephensburg now Stephens City. On 3 October 1734, he received a patent from Jost Hite for 674 acres of land adjoining Hite (the same recorded in Orange Co.) and on 10 November 1752, he secured 572 acres adjoining his own patent. In 1743 the county of Frederick was formed from Orange. Peter died in 1757 in Frederick County, leaving his large estate to his wife his four sons and three daughters. His Will dated 28 February 1856, was probated 28 April 1757 in Frederick County. Maria died in 1758. Peter Stephens Jr. was born between 1726 and 1735 in Frederick County. He is the son of Peter Stephens Sr. and Maria Christina Rittenhouse. Peter was married to Anna Maria Chrisman in 1754 in Frederick County. She was born on 29 September 1735 in Orange County, Virginia and is the daughter of Jacob Chrisman and Magdalena Hite. Peter and Anna Maria had nine children Jonathan, Lawrence, Jacob, Joseph, Kazia, David, Mary, Levinia, and Isaac. Peter Stephens Sr. sold 198 acres of land to Peter Jr. in 1753, but Peter Sr. purchased back Peter Jr.'s land in 1754 and sold it then to Peter's brother Lewis in 1755. In 1762, Peter Jr. purchased 206 acres on south branch of North River Capacon. He and his wife Mary, sold this tract in 1765. About the year 1767, he moved from Frederick to Botetourt (now Montgomery) County, Virginia. In 1768 he purchased 185 acres on Duck Run, a branch of Cedar Creek but sold it a few months later. Peter Stephens, Jr. served in the Revolutionary War as a sergeant in the Virginia troops under Lieut. Charles Stockley. He is listed in the 1810 Census for Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia and is shown as over age 45, with two females in the home - one age 16-26, and the other under age 10. Peter died in 1812 in Montgomery County. Isaac Stephens was born in December 1760 in Winchester in Frederick County, Virginia. He is the son of Peter Stephens Jr. and Anna Maria Chrisman. Isaac Stephens filed for a Revolutionary War pension on 27 August 1832 in Wayne County, Kentucky. In his application, he stated that he enlisted in the fall of the year 1780 in Montgomery County in the State of Virginia and served twenty months in Captain Bentley's and Captain Barbary's Companies, in the Regiment Commanded by Colonel Haws. He states that they marched to Chesterfield Courthouse, then on to North Carolina and was at the Battles of Guilford and Camden, where he had a brother killed. Isaac was married on 16 December 1782 in New River in Montgomery County to Rebecca Havens, born on 19 October 1765 in Augusta County, Virginia. Isaac and Rebecca had nine children Isaac, Rhoda, Elizabeth, James, William, Nancy, Rebecca, Zilpha and Gordon, all born in Montgomery County. Moved to Wayne County, Kentucky from Montgomery County, Virginia in 1799. He is listed in the 1820 Census for Wayne County as age over 45, his wife age over 45, and one child age 10-16. He is next found in the 1830 Census for Wayne County and is shown as age 60-70, with his wife age 60-70. No children are listed in the home. Isaac died on 28 June 1833 in Wythe County, Virginia. Rebeca Stephens is listed in the 1840 Census for Wayne County as age 70-80. Rebecca died on 29 June 1843 in Wayne County. Nancy Stephens was born about 1794 in Montgomery County, Virginia. She is the daughter of Isaac Stephens and Rebecca Havens. She was married on 10 February 1814 in Wayne County, Kentucky to John Anderson, born about 1790 in Virginia. They had twn children: John, Mary Polly, Nancy, William, Elizabeth, and two sons and two daughters whose names are not known. Cheers, Michael Kent Island, Maryland

I'm looking at a 1910 census, St. Louis, Missouri. My great-grandparents Samuel and Myrtle Reynolds are on it with a sister-in-law living with them. Her name is Stella M.

I am very curious about the name "Ransom" STEPHENS. I have STEPHENS family in New York with a son Ransome b. ca. 1788. His father was William M. (birth and death date unknown) and his mother was named Elizabeth Gage. Parents of William M. were Archibald b. 1760 d. 1836 and Rachel MOTT b. 1768 d. 1857. I have lots of Stephens information that I would love to share if we have a connection. Judy Martin <commjet@aol.com>

Any help on identifying any of these families would be really appreciated. I have no doubt that my Dew STEPHENS is some how related, but I am having a hard putting ANYTHING together on these listed, except for the fact that Sarah STEPHENS, d/o John STEPHENS married Ransom MEADOWS, and that there are two other STEPHENS females in the ancestry of Ransom MEADOWS. ( A Martha STEPHENS and a Wm. STEPHENS). On the 1830 census these Stevens / Stephens are listed: Montgomery County Abraham Stephens Dew Stephens (mine) . Jon. W. Freeman & STEPHENS Lowndes County Pierce Stephens ( 1850 Pontotoc Co., MS) Moses Stephens ( Mississippi 1850) John Stephens Jr Edward Stephens William Stephens None listed with the Stevens spelling 1840 Census Montgomery County James C. Stephens James R. Stephens Pheraby (Pheby?) Stephens Richard Stephens Lowndes County Dew Stephens (1850 Rankin Co., MS) Again none listed with the Stevens spelling I think all or the majority of these are from S. Carolina . I also believe that they tie into the Elisha STEPHENS of Edgefield Co., SC and later Rankin Co., MS. If anyone can shed any information or how all these families connect, I'd really appreciate any help . Thank you Phyllis

Hello, I am new to the list and I am hoping for help with my STEPHENS/TUTHILL family, who lived in or near St Pancras, London, England. My 3G grandfather was William TUTHILL, born about 1810, Marylebone, London (no references found to his birth/baptism). His daughter, Ure Jane TUTHILL was born 1845. I could not initially find either Ure or her father in 1851 and 1861 census. Her marriage certificate gave her father's name as William TUTHILL, Billiard Table Maker, and her address as Barclay Street. . The only 'Ure' to be found in 1851 census was Ure STEPHENS, father William STEPHENS, Billiard Table Maker, living in Barclay Street. Extensive look into this family have since proven that they used the name of TUTHILL on official records, such as birth, baptism, marriage and death records, but the name of STEPHENS in census. The family in 1841 census is given as Wm Tuthill Stephens, M, 31, Billiard Table Maker, Born in county Jane Stephens, F, 24, Born in county Wm Stephens, M, 7, Born in county Robt Stephens, M, 3, Born in county Stepn Bigmore, M, 5, Born in county Crown St East Side, Borough of Finsbury, St Giles in the Fields HO 107/673/17/Folio 8 p8 This is the only record I have found of William using the 2 names together, though another son John, born c 1842, appeared to use both names, and his children were baptised as (first name) Stephens TUTHILL. I have been in contact with someone who knew this family, and the preferred name appears to have been STEPHENS. More recently the name of 'Ure STEPHENS' caught my eye in someone's tree in Rootsweb World Connect, and on further enquiry with the tree holder, there is a strong possibility, not yet confirmed, that Ure was Alfred's sister. From census info she was born c 1815. IGI have 2 possibilities for baptism of Ure TUTHILL in 1815 in 2 different batches, possibly/probably the same person. Ure PATTLE, father Robert, mother May Use TUTTLE, boy, father Robert, mother Mary I know from William's marriage certificate that his father was Robert, bricklayer. In 1851 Mary STEPHENS, Widow, Formerly Builders Wife, was living in same house as her daughter Ure. Does anyone know this family, and why the 2 names are used? Because I found Ure Jane as a TUTHILL at first, I think of the family as TUTHILL, but my recent contact who found Ure STEPHENS first, thinks of them as STEPHENS. Hoping that someone can help me with this conundrum Margaret

Dear Phyllis King & Shirley Schall, Thank you both so much for helping me!! You two are great! Thank you, Thank you. A Brewer family researcher gave me info about the 1860 US Census: Fairfield, Highland, Ohio - George is found here as a STEVENS... I found an article in the newspapers: The Athens Messenger Thursday Morning, July 5, 1877 VOL XXXIV - No 27 On Saturday Wm. F. Brewer, whose weight is about 250 pounds, got into a difficulty with his sister, Mrs. George STEVENS, at Zaleski, when he stabbed her with a pair of scissors, inflicting a serious wound on the left side of her neck. He was arrested on a charge of stabbing with intent to kill, and a preliminary examination resulted in his being bound over to Court to await action of the Grand Jury. As he was already under bonds to keep the peace for two years, he could not give bail in this case, and he was sent to jail. I can not find anything else about this incident - but she must have lived through it as I have her in the 1880 US Census: Zaleski, Vinton, Ohio.

There are many George Stephens/Stevens and even more Stephens/Stevens that were born in Canada. I looked at your 1870 census and without a doubt Frank and George are siblings. They each took a NY>OH>IA route. I have to do the surname Barrows from NY. You'll have to go one by one They may have missed being counted on census at all. I found these 3 but haven't found a Frank Stevens in Wyoming Co., NY to go with the George and Nancy so I doubt these are yours either, but it was the only George Stevens b. 1833 I was coming up with.

Thanks to the Stevens List for such great help. My great grandmother Angie (Angelina from her half-sister's bible), was married to Noah Woods, and lived most of married life in Christian Co., MO and Jasper Co., Mo. The birth date that I have for her is July 1862. Several have given me info on her birth. I am trying to pin down specific places and dates for her birth and for George, her brother. You see, my father's grandfather is my mothers' grandmothers' half brother. Sooooo, that makes my parents half second cousins. Well, I found somewhere that Angie and George W. Stevens father was William Stevens. Too bad that I didn't make any notes on that find. I would love to know what happened to George's children. At the time of the 1920 Jasper Co., MO census, he was living with his sister Sarah Ellen Doss Henley and the head of the house was Sarah Ellen's daughter by Mary Brittain Burris, both widowed. George's daughters were Pauline and Dorothy. In court records that a cousin (now deceased) found, Mr. Stevens, a neighbor had asked custody of the last two children of Mr. Doss after his death. That would supposedly have been William Willey and Steven. Then, by the date of G.W. Doss' death, Angie was born after his death, and then several years later, George W. Stevens was born. I believe Mr. Doss was off fighting in the war. He returned for a short time and then re-enlisted. Noah and Angie's children do not list my grandfather James Woods. If you would like to know, the spelling of my great aunts name on 1900 Christian Co., MO census, is spelled incorrectly (as we know, that happened often). It is actually Verona, not Virona, and she is named after the town of Verona. Her 93 year old daughter gave me that info. He was born after the census on September 14, 1901. As for Sarah Minerva Shull Doss Stevens Breeze, Angie's mother, she is the daughter of James Henry Shull and Mary (Polly) Jane Short. James and Mary Jane were married in Washington Co., Indiana. Mary Jane died in Benton Co., MO. Thanks for any help in finding out more about these Stevens/Stephens. My husband has Elizabeth (possibly Sarah Elizabeth) Stevens, married to a J. S. C. Ragsdale, Jan 25, 1891 in Stone Co., MO. Her father was probably Isaac and her mother Elizabeth Unknown. Lani Black sent info to me about her Henry Isaac Stevens and Elizabeth Skaggs who had a daughter also named Elizabeth, but I have limited info, and the birth dates that I presently have for my Elizabeth are different. We have tried to tie these Stevens families together, but haven't as yet. J. S. C. Ragsdale and Elizabeth's children were also all born in Stone Co., MO. Judy McDaniel

I'm looking for info on a sister and brother, Angie b. Jul 1862 (possibly Angelina) and George W. Stevens/Stephens b. Abt 1868. I believe that their father was William. Their mother was Sarah Minervah Shull Doss Stevens and later Breeze. George Stephens is found on the 1920 Jasper Co., MO census. He was earlier married to Minerva Jane Woods Doss. It's a little complicated, but I thought that maybe someone would have something on this family. His sister Angie Stevens Woods is my great grandmother. I don't have much info on her either. I'm assuming that Pauline and Dorothy are his children, and not his grandchildren. Burris, Mary V.

Thanks for asking Phyllis, George's wife Sarah Brewer was born and raised in Vinton Co., Ohio. They were married there 20 Nov 1853. George reports that he was born in New York, his father was born in CANADY?? and his mother was born in New York. So he was in Vinton Co., Ohio in the early 1850's... I can not find him in the 1850 census or the 1900 (he may have died by then.) I found the in the: 1870 US Census, Bloomfield, Davis, IA; Roll: M593_386, Page: 19, Image: 40 George H Stephens 1880 US Census: Zaleski, Vinton, Ohio; Roll: T9_1074 Name: George H. Stephens The 2 census and his marriage had his named spelled Stephens - that does not mean much... I believe he had a brother named FRANK, as I found him living next to George in the Iowa 1870 census. In the 1880 census there was a 10 month old nephew named JOHN C. Stephens living with George. Wish someone could connect - George and Sarah had a pile of girls and that might have been the end of line...

I also have the BARROWS surname. The variants to the Stephens/Stevens spelling is crazy but Barrows spellings are 3 times worse. There are so many variants it is ridiculous. Oh, Harold.... don't forget HUES , either. Phyllis L.

Dear List, Does anyone have additional information on this family? I can not find history on George H. Stephens parents - or date and place of death for George & Sarah Brewer Stephens. I have unconfirmed information on some of their daughters. I have documented information on Nancy Caroline Stephens and would be glad to share. Thank you, Diana Bryson-Brooks 1 George H.

I am searching for connections to the Stephens line of my paternal grandmother, Lavina Stephens Porter. She was born in 1859, I think in Guernsey County, Ohio and died in 1927 in San Angelo, Texas. Lavina's father was Joshua Stephens and her mother was Sarah Statler. I will appreciate hearing from anyone connected with this line. Jo Van Meter
