    1. [STEPHENS] RE: Stephens in Arkansas
    2. Phyllis King
    3. Hi, This is going to be a really unusual request but maybe it will bring forth some answers to long awaited questions. After many years I have finally found my Enoch A. Stephens in 1870 Union Co., AR. with parents Duncan(Duey) Stephens and Melissa Garner and in Little River Co., AR. 1880 . But in 1880 LRC is where some more questions arise . Evidently Duncan Stephens has died and Melissa Stephens has remarried to a Robert Jean(s) and Enoch Stephens 12 is listed as a Jeanes instead of Stephens . Also listed is a William age 12 , John age 7 , and Allen age 5 all with Jeanes surname. Sources say Robert W. Jean was not previously married and appears on 1870 LRC census as single living with his father. Therefore we conclude that these 3 boys are probably also Stephens. The William age 12 does not appear with Enoch and family on 1870 census as a twin so maybe age is wrong or not a Stephens. There is also a Sales/Sails Stephens which lives next door to Melissa in 1900 that we assume as one of the Stephens children but can't verify as such . There were no second names used on census and his birth year varies on 1900-1910-1920 census . Could his name be Allen Sales Stephens ? Duncan Stephens middle initial was an S. Any help appreciated .
