I am researching my great-grandfather Henry Ivera Stephens, born March 22 1836 NC, died May 10, 1899. Buried in the New Salem Cemetery, Owensville, Gasconade Co., MO. He married Louisa Ivy Sullivan Feb 7, 1861. In 1850 census for Franklin Co., MO. There is a Levi Stevens 39, wife Depry 37 and children Frances 15, Henry 13, David 11, Martha 9, Melissa 6, Mary 4 and Mary McCownes 66. All born in NC except Mary age 4. They are not found in the 1870 census. I feel that this is Henry’s Father. In the 1880 Census Henry at the age of 43 is in Boone, Franklin Co., MO with is Wife Louisa 40, Ester 16, Martha 14, Larlton 10, Ulyss 8 ( my g-dad), Louticia 6 and Henry H 2, If anyone has any information on the death of Henry and of is family in NC I would appreciated.
