Hello List: The earliest Stephens in my line is the John Stephens b. 1776 in Wake County NC. d. Bedford County, TN in 1831. Married 1st Ghasky Hartsfield in 1795 in NC (my line). They were the parents of six children from what I can determine. 1.Allen Stephens b. 1797 in NC 2.Josiah Stephens b. 1801 in NC 3.Wiley Stephens b.1804 in NC 4. Jack Stephens b. 1806 in NC 5. James Stephens b. 1808 in NC (my gggrandfather) 6.Sallie Stephens b. 1810 probably NC I believe John's father was John senior b. about 1750 possibly NC. I need proof of this. I do not have my James Stephens wife (or wives) name(s). I do have the children's names. John Stephens moved from NC to Bedford County with Ghasky and children around 1811. One of James' sons was also James (Samuel) b. in Bedford County, TN (my ggrandfather), he was born 1848. Hoping someone out there can make a connection and help with my brick walls--or maybe I can help you. Thanks. Ella Porter, San Luis Obispo, CA
