Derek Please don't discount any variation on the name spelling. I too have both variations - STEVENS and STEPHENS. My father is STEVENS, grandfather - STEVENS, great grandfather STEPHENS and grt grt grandfather STEPHENS and 2 of his 4 children had STEVENS, whilst the other 2 had STEPHENS. So you can see why I wouldn't discount any variations. More often than not, our ancestors couldn't read and wouldn't know the difference. They practised their signatures so it looked as though they could write on their wedding day or when registering births etc. Kind Regards Maggs Gurney researching - NUNN - Essex, Birmingham, Aston STEVENS - Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Aston PHILLIPS - Aston, Birmingham, King's Norton (Worcs in 1834), BUGGINS - Wilmcote, Warks 1804 PITCHFORD - Aston, Birmingham, West Bromwich, BAILEY, SULLEY, MALIN, JONES, TURNER, BLUNT - Aston, Birmingham TURNBULL, LAW, THOMAS, MURRAY, HUNTER, HUTTON, SIMPSON, PAGE, BRAGGS, - Only looking at present in Scoonie, Lochore, Shotts and Leven, (all Fife) and Edinburgh - Scotland ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Stevens" <joe2phil@drizzle.com> To: <STEPHENS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 9:40 PM Subject: Re: [STEPHENS] Re: Richard Cotton Stephens > Hello Derek This is your post ?? , Don`t be so quick to discount the > different speellings !!!! , My name is Phil Stevens , my fathers name is > Joseph Stevens , HIS Father is Adam Stephens , AND Adams` father is Georg > Steffen , Need I say more ????? , Phil > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Derek Brooks" <derek_brooks@tiscali.co.uk> > To: <STEPHENS-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 11:21 AM > Subject: Re: [STEPHENS] Re: Richard Cotton Stephens > > > > Sorry no, I don't recognise the names at all. > > > > If spelt Stevens, then definitely not my bloodline, only spelt Stephens. > > > > As you can imagine there are probably tens of thousands of them over here, > > and I expect the same wherever you are. > > > > > > Derek Brooks > > Goonhavern > > Cornwall > > UK > > CFHS#09920 > > Cornish Extended Family > > http://cornish-family.netfirms.com/ > > > > UK Surnames > > http://www.county-surnames.co.uk/list.mv?county=Cornwall > > > > Cornish-L Surnames > > http://www.cornish-surnames.org.uk > > > > Cornish Ancestors > > http://www.cornish-ancestors.co.uk/Reseach/ind_res.htm > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: <bass103@juno.com> > > To: <derek_brooks@tiscali.co.uk> > > Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 1:07 PM > > Subject: Re: [STEPHENS] Re: Richard Cotton Stephens > > > > > > > > > > do you know anything about Noah Steven/Stephens? born around 1824 > > > > > > -- "Derek Brooks" <derek_brooks@tiscali.co.uk> wrote: > > > Dear Thomas, > > > > > > Nice to hear from you. > > > > > > I have information on my line from the 1880 US Census sent to me via a > > > Cornish List member, but that is all. > > > > > > I do not have access to Ancestry.com, so perhaps you found the > information > > > there. > > > > > > I am not sure what you mean by "I am curious if you are in the > information > > > some of which confirms information in your query, some of which adds > > > information, some of which contradicts your information." > > > > > > I was given the names I have via an old tree, from one of the names on > my > > > list of descendents of Burgi. > > > > > > I do not how accurate it is. > > > > > > My mother was a Stephens here in Cornwall, hence my research of the > > family. > > > > > > Any information you would be happy to share with me would be > appreciated. > > > > > > Regards > > > > > > Derek > > > Cornwall > > > UK > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: "Tom Stephens" <llanotom@msn.com> > > > To: <derek_brooks@tiscali.co.uk> > > > Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2004 11:05 PM > > > Subject: Richard Cotton Stephens > > > > > > > > > > Driven by curiosity, I have searched US Census 1870 to 1910 for your > > > Richard > > > > Cotton Stephens and his son, Charles Henry Stephens in the 1900 thru > > 1920 > > > > Census.

Not to mention that some of those census takers were probably a little tipsy here and there too.

My maiden name is STEPHENS which invariably always had to be spelled out at least to the "P" or it would have been written as STEVENS. In researching my STEPHENS / STEVENS I too have found both spellings in association with the same given names as in most of my surnames I have researched are. Can not do proper research without looking into all spellings or I would never have found my gr-grandfather and his parents. My dad and his two brothers, Philip, Delton, & Allison, were ALL nick named STEVE. My brother's given name is STEVE. BUT my given name is another matter. It is NEVER spelled correctly and it gets bad when your own family misspell it. Still looking for DEW STEPHENS / STEVENS b. 1802/ SC / GA Phyllis

i just thought i would throw this out there some times people were iliterite and the name would be spelled anyway the person felt especally in the American south my last name is Stephens but as the group got to the 1790's the name was spelt however it was thought to be spelled Stevens, stephens as annoying as it is now days for someone to misspell your name just a thought Trevor Stephens "Maggie Gurney" <tigger@likesbouncing.fsnet.co.uk> wrote: >Derek > >Please don't discount any variation on the name spelling.  I too have both >variations - STEVENS and STEPHENS. > >My father is STEVENS, grandfather - STEVENS, great grandfather STEPHENS and >grt grt grandfather STEPHENS and 2 of his 4 children had STEVENS, whilst the >other 2 had STEPHENS. > >So you can see why I wouldn't discount any variations.  More often than not, >our ancestors couldn't read and wouldn't know the difference.  They >practised their signatures so it looked as though they could write on their >wedding day or when registering births etc. > >Kind Regards > >Maggs Gurney > >researching - >NUNN - Essex, Birmingham, Aston >STEVENS - Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Aston >PHILLIPS - Aston, Birmingham, King's Norton (Worcs in 1834), >BUGGINS - Wilmcote, Warks 1804 >PITCHFORD - Aston, Birmingham, West Bromwich, >BAILEY, SULLEY, MALIN, JONES, TURNER, BLUNT - Aston, Birmingham >TURNBULL, LAW, THOMAS, MURRAY, HUNTER, HUTTON, SIMPSON, PAGE, BRAGGS, - >Only looking at present in Scoonie, Lochore, Shotts and Leven, (all Fife) >and Edinburgh - Scotland > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Phil Stevens" <joe2phil@drizzle.com> >To: <STEPHENS-L@rootsweb.com> >Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 9:40 PM >Subject: Re: [STEPHENS] Re: Richard Cotton Stephens > > >> Hello  Derek   This is your post ??

Brenda.. Yes, my Zadock and Levi Lowe in 1840-1780 were from near Forestville, Prince Georges County, Maryland. But my the Lowes have no known connection with the Stephens-Stevens that are my wife's family. We believe the Stephens were from Virginia and settled in Orange-Guilford-Yadkin, North Carolina near the Quakers in Snow Camp, Deep Creek, and Deep River... We are currently using DNA testing of Stephens-Stevens men at FTDNA in Houston to discover her European lineage which we by legend were from Wales. The DNA test haplogroup (a deep ancestral genotype) tells us the Stephens are R1b which is concentrated in western Europe but not necessarily to Great Britain. We have found unknown kin in the Laurens, South Carolina area however our search continues for a European DNA marker match.

Thanks again Tom, Yes I know from the census work I have done here between 1841-1891, there are certainly variations and weird things. I took the copy of the census to my cousins today, he is the grandson of this Richard Cotton Stephens brother Silvanus. They both agree and say its Lena, now I am really confused where Fannie C comes into it, as she was supposed to be her (lena), either they had twins and one died before 1880, which may be the answer. More digging to do later. Thanks for all you time and help, really appreciated. I will investigate, as soon as I finish the family I am working on right now. Both copies rec'd.

I have an ancestor, Francis Youree Hamiltion, who I have found listed in the census listed as Francis, F. Y., F. Z., and F. W. Hamilton. Children disappear from one census to the next. Child mortality was high, women often died in childbirth. People seem to have lied about their age, same people different ages in subsequent census. The way I read the 1870 census: Jane, 5 yrs, born c. 1864-65, Wisconsin. Lena, 1 year, born c. 1869-69, Missouri.

Hi Phil, No I am not being quick to discount, but in all my research of my family here in Cornwall, UK they are all spelt Stephens. It only changes back at about 1415 when a local Vicar/Priest was called STEPHEN and he was related.. So I guess I am lucky, so far.

Dear Thomas, Nice to hear from you. I have information on my line from the 1880 US Census sent to me via a Cornish List member, but that is all. I do not have access to Ancestry.com, so perhaps you found the information there. I am not sure what you mean by "I am curious if you are in the information some of which confirms information in your query, some of which adds information, some of which contradicts your information." I was given the names I have via an old tree, from one of the names on my list of descendents of Burgi. I do not how accurate it is. My mother was a Stephens here in Cornwall, hence my research of the family. Any information you would be happy to share with me would be appreciated.

Hi William, Talk about a proverbial needle in a haystack, I thought my request was iffy, but this one is worse. Depending on when " Oglethorpe" was current, I assume that the two brothers may be on census returns. If you can find them on that or the death index, hopefully it will state where they were born. Sometimes it just gives country, but you may be lucky and have one of our "counties" registered too. Stephens is one of the most prolific names here in Cornwall, and in UK. Without a place to start it would be near impossible. There are indexes available but you would need some rough dates to know where to start. I am trying to locate my Stephens lines in USA, but at least it is in the last 100 years. As I have only just joined this list, I am unsure how much traffic goes through, but hopefully one day I will be lucky. I wish you good luck.
