My Stephens line here in West Virginia always had the name spelled with a "ph" except for a few censuses when the census taker mispelled the name. Becky --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start. We finish.

I'm looking for some information on John Beaver Stephens, born about 1812 in what is now Wayne County, WV, I believe. He married Bidsey Jackson. Specifically, I've seen information indicating he was the son of James Stephens and Mary (Polly) unknown. I've also seen one source indicate he had a brother Jesse, born about 1817. Does anyone have any information on this possible brother, Jesse, or any other siblings of John Beaver Stephens? Thanks, Dick Stephens
