I am seeking some help, hopefully, from the members of this list. I've been looking for my great great grandparents who were married in Rutherford Co, TN in 1829. Joseph D. Stephens b 1812 in TN and Isabella B. Wright b 1814 in VA. They ultimately moved to Jackson, Platte and Buchanan Cos, Missouri. Actually Isabella died in Jasper Co, MO in 1872, but I have found no official record of that death...merely a letter to my great grandfather. Joseph D. died in Platte/Buchanan Co, MO in 1870, but no record there either that has been located. Their son and my great grandfather, John Wesley Stephens, b 1842 in Jackson Co, MO married Margaret Ann James b 1843 in KY, in 1865. They ultimately setted in Wilson Co, KS where Margaret Ann died in 1880 and John Wesley died in 1900. Last summer I did make a trip to TN, but the only thing I found was Joseph and Isabella's marriage bond in a book in the library. I really didn't find anything in the Courthouse, but didn't have any help from the staff there either, so there likely is something there if I had only known how to find it. I would love to learn who their parents were at least and where exactly they were born. Does anyone happen to have these Stephens' in their files or have access to records that might reveal more about Joseph D. Stephens and Isabella B. Wright? I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance. Jan jslopez@cox.net
