OK, the new plan is to scan every book for it's list of STEVENS / STEPHENS inside the book. Some have years already written beside the name, but most don't. But at least it helps give me a much better idea of what's inside the book. I found several wrong Absolum STEVENS (one is the son of William & Mary) I found several Arent STEVENS I found 9 James D STEVENS I scanned 4 more STEVENS / STEPHENS books. I also looked thru and scanned court records and cemeteries in southern Indiana. oh, yeah, and I ate breakfast & lunch and that accounts for my time so far today. Now, after supper, I'll look thru what I've scanned and search more for your names. I really would like to find everybody's "brick wall" so you can go on & find another "brick wall". Always, DS

that would be correct. he died at the battle of lake george...fighting like a lion!!

Gayle, The Only possibilities I could come up with are a Morgan Stephens b1839 & a Martin V Stephens b1840 - Both in Tennessee on the 1850 census. Could U give a little More specifics on the 1900 Census info. I could not find the Census Record U refered to?

Hello David....The death certificate for Absolum Stephens only says burial place is Monticello, KY. no middle name or initial.. ....informant John E. Stephens (son b. 1897) Steubenville, KY. Absolum's other sons were: James W. b.1879, Charley b. 1884, Arthur b. 1886, Henry b. 1888, and Oley b. 1890. No sons named Lewis or Lawrence. Until I found the death certificate for Absolum's sister Nancy, which provided her father's name being William Stephens, other researchers told me they didn't know the father Stephens first name. I have just contacted a researcher who is more closely related to Absolum. Perhaps she can provide more information on his family. I will let you know. Absolum was a widower when he died in 1839. Perhaps he was buried next to his wife. I'll look for that today. Thank you so much, Janet

According to the family history. Jonathan Stevens came to Schenectady NY along with a Thos. Smith when he was 18 yrs old. He married Leah van Slyck Von Coppernol (widow of Claes Willem Von Coppernol- they had a son Willem. Claes died in the Schenectady Massacre in 1690) . Leah married Jonathan in 1693 and they had 4 children, Henricus( Nicholas), Arent, Dina( married Hagadorn) and Annetje( married another Hagadorn), I have ,too, found numerous Jonathnas and have visited many places trying to find info on my Jonathan..no cemetary exists with either of them. Tho it states that he was from New England..I have looked everywhere and find no Jonathan..with a 1675 birthday, that isn't accounted for. Many of the family researchers want to make him the Jonathan who married in Ct..I have the will from him and it is NOT our Jonathan....soooooooooooo I'd look anywhere that you might think will give me an answer. I have noticed that you often have info at the bottom of your emails that have our ( Kathy Shouse's site) noted.....so I assume that you have visited our site and seen what info we offer. I look forward to hearing from you TIA Lissa

Yes, odd children's names make searching easier, but common names verify you found the right parents and give clues to grandparents & ggparents, etc. Absolum is buried in which cemetery ? Do you have a "Lewis Stephens" in your family or a "Lawrence" ? I have some ideas. On 10/8/07, Janet Wright <jkw46@zianet.com> wrote: > Thank you David.

Thank you David. I'll try to keep the information I have from being too complicated. The only thing I can tell you about William Stephens is that his name is on Nancy Robinson's death certificate as her father. Information given by her daughter was that Stephens was always spelled that way in the family. Other researchers plus myself have searched for him without success. Edith Bryant married Jeremiah Slaughter in 1850, in Whitley County. He dies April 30, 1856, in Whitley County. Absolum was born to Edith Bryant on April 20th, 1856 in Whitley County, KY. No fathers name is given on the birth record. His name on the record says Absolum Bryant, even though his mother was married to the Slaughter, who died ten days later. Absolum, his mother, or sister Nancy (born 1853-56) have not been found for the year 1860. 1870 Census for Whitley County, KY has Absolum listed twice. In one census he is with mother Edith and husband James Robinson, who she married in 1864. (Information given on the marriage application states this is her second marriage). He is listed as Absolum Robinson. Another census taken two months after the first one has Absolum living with a Bryant family in Wayne County, Ky., and his name is given as Absolum Slaughter. In 1876, Absolum marries Abbey Howard, age 16 in Wayne County, KY. His surname is given as Stephens, and he used the Stephens name the rest of his life. His occupation was mostly listed as blacksmith. Absolum dies May 11, 1939 in Steubenville, Wayne County, KY. He is buried in Monticello, KY. Birth date and year are given as March 31, 1856, which differs from the Birth Schedule for Whitley County. Informant was his son John E. Stephens. He had other male children and I can supply their names and birth years if you would like to have them. I and many others from this family will be very grateful for any information you may find. Janet

Hello Janet, first I wouldn't bet against Edith & William being married. Normally, records weren't kept in the western states. I don't know when ,Whitley, KY began recordkeeping, but it's hard to find any records that survived unless it's a bible record. This might be a clue: Absalom Waller STEPHENS b 1815 d1815 ,Monroe, MO and his father is William STEPHENS & mother Elizabeth Louise NELSON from ,Orange, VA & VA. (Even though Absalom is listed with birthdate & deathdate the same year, he's listed with a wife in 1838 and Jasper 1839; Clinton 1840; Thomas Benton STEPHENS 17 Jul 1841. If you let me know what you can find on this "William & Absalom" idea, I'll do more looking for Absalom tomorrow. Do you have any dates or spouse for your Absalom ?

Hello Lisa, I go back about 600 years from your Jonathan. I also found numerous Jonathan STEVENS & John STEVENS in my db, If you know where he and/or his family are buried It's better to identify him. Also a wife or wives , otherwise I have hundreds of "John STEVENS". And several born about 1675.

Dear David, I will do a better job searching my notes. None of these names are family names that you show.

The obit was of Chauncy M Stevens who was born in 1825 and died Aug 29, 1886 in Evans Mills, NY. His father was John Stevens of Lowville, NY and he had a brother Horace. There were 4 sons and 4 daughters, some of whom went west and at the time of the obit were in Wisc. and Iowa which places them with other Stevens branches at the time.

It also mentions a brother names Horace from Evans Mills, NY. and 8 children, some of which went west and at the time of the obit lived in Fon du Lac Wisconsin and Souix City, Iowa.

According to her death certificate, Nancy Stevens/Stephens Robinson was born Dec. 2, 1857 daug.of William and Edith Bryant Stevens/Stephens, in Whitley County, KY. I have not found a marriage anywhere in KY of William and Edith. Edith has only been found as Edith Slaughter, and Edith Robinson, suggesting that perhaps she and William were not married after all; however, Edith is found in several census' with her son Absolum Stephens, listed as Edith Robinson, widow (of James Robinson). Nancy Stephens married Thomas Robinson (step son of her mother Edith). She is buried (1935) in East Jacksonville Cemetery, Morgan County, Il. Does anyone know anything about this William Stevens/Stephens? Thanks you, Janet Wright
