Greetings to all, I am looking for information on Stephens, Stevens in Washington county, Ohio (Caleb 1800, 1810); Morgan county, Ohio (Joseph, Nathan, Caleb 1820-1840)later Noble county, OH. thanks, Larry Robbins
Hi, My great grandmother was Minerva Angelina (Angie) Stephens m. Noah Woods. She was born July 8, around 1862 in Missouri. Her brother George W. Stephens was born around 1868 in Missouri. Their father was William Stephens and mother was Sarah Minerva Shull Doss Stephens (and later Breese/Breece). In the Benton Co., MO Marriages, Book, A, William Stephens married Sarah M. Doss, July 3, 1863. On a 1920 census in Jasper Co MO, George says that his father was born in Arkansas. In a 1900 census for Christian Co., MO, Angie Woods says that her father was born in MO, but everyone in the family even her husband and his family were down as born in MO. Perhaps the census taker was filling in the blanks again. Anyway, I would love it if someone here knew something about this family. A cousin says that George and Angie's mother Minerva was found on the 1880 census in Kansas City, MO with her stepsons William, Sellman, and Jefferson. I still can't make the connection there, but maybe someone here can. In that census, Sarah seems to be the mother of the males and they all say that their father was born in KY. Like I said, I haven't had a chance to talk with my cousin about this recently, but I make no connection. Judy
