FYI: Though I'm not a fan of Ancestry.com, I did find enough mis-inforamation to help me decide a few facts about the Stevens of VA & KY It's a TWO WEEK FREE TRIAL & I cancelled on the 13th day, just to be safe & it seems they didn't take anything off of my credit card (YET). :-) I did make connections with cousins in CA, MO & OH, so it was well worth the price.

Folks, this is a reminder that any post to a list that starts with the phrase "This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list." has been "gatewayed" from the surname Board to the surname List. Simply, this means that the original post was sent, in this case, to the STEVENS Board and, because the "gateway" between the Board and List has been opened, was also automatically re-sent to the STEVENS List. BUT, this means that unless the original Board poster is also a member of the List (and most are not), any replies to a gatewayed post sent to the List will NOT be seen by the Board poster. If you wish to reply to a gatewayed post in such a way that your reply will be seen by the Board poster, you must do so by clicking on the "Message Board URL:" link, and reply using the Board response system.

Because people often GUESS about where a person was born, it is usually easier to identify a person by where they died and where buried.

Richard was born in 1802 and married Sarah Rason at St Pancras Old Church in London on 25 May 1828. Richard took his family to New Zealand on the Royal Albert in 1853. There is now a huge family lineage descending from Richard Stevens through his grandson Edward J Stevens. Any information on Richard's family in England would be much appreciated.

I just discovered 5 blank great grandparent spaces in my tree. I know these 5 people were in my program and now they vanished. This makes me wonder which OTHER NAMES VANISHED from my program. Maybe I have too many names in it. BUT, what programs do you all like and why ? I have several different programs, but none of them seem "perfect" enough. Mostly, I'd like to sort names by birthdate, birthplace, spouse, etc. I'd especially like a program that does NOT make people VANISH. Thanks, DS

Great! I have a Stevens line in IL. Mary Susan Stevens is my paternal gr.grandmother. Her parents were William Stevens, one of my records has him born in 1803, but a Stevens contact has census records from 1850, 1860 and 1870 which infers he was born in 1815. Would seem to make a bit more sense, as he did not marry until April 11, 1844. He died "Afer?" or April 27, 1885/35? (I have a handwritten record which is a bit murky.) His wife was Silvina Erwin. (Again, the name is also listed Sabina, Sibina, Lavinia, etc) But her birth is listed March 21, 1888, married "Afer" or April 11, 1844. Their children were: BF Stevens, b.Jan17, 1845, Married March 6, 1869, D."Afer" or April 30, 1881, William was listed as a farmer, and BF Stevens was a minister. William was born KY, his wife, VA. William was also listed in one source as Stephens, another, Stevens. All their children were born in Charleston, Coles Co., IL, and most lived and died there. Mary Susan Stevens was b.March 29, 1850, married March 20, 1881 to Benjamin Franklin Fleenor, (My line) and died November 6, 1931. She died in Mendocino Co, CA. James W. Stevens was b.April 6, 1854, married May 7, 1876, D. December 29, 1938. Samuel T (or J - my gr.grandfather wrote in flowery, Spenserian script.) Stevens b.September 1, 1858, m. Feb. 28, 1883, d.November 23, 1942. There was a son, Milton, not listed in my record, but in the census. We think they didn't fill him in the family record because, just maybe, he was gay? Since BF Stevens and Benjamin F. Fleenor both attended Bible college in Hartsville IN, it would have been entirely natural for him to have introduced him to his sister, Mary Susan Stevens. But theirs was a tragic marriage in every possible sense of the word. At one time, BF Fleenor was censured by his church for "being unkind to his wife" and nearly lost his license. This is supposition, but, they lost two children to "tubercular Meningitis" within one month! He may not have been able, because of the times and the "men can't cry" stupidity, to offer to his wife the solace she needed. She gave birth to my grandmother, all the way across the country in Lodi, CA, October 29, 1888. Sometime after that, she was admitted to the Mendocino State mental hospital and never again left. My grandmother grew up as an only child, I have the death records for the babies, and my grandmother told me that the couple were living outside a town in Il, apparently, her husband didn't return when he was needed, and she set out to walk to town, carrying her two desperately sick children. They died, and she dug shallow graves for first one, then the other, put rocks over the tiny graves, and continued to walk to town. There was a funeral for the children, so I think someone must have gone back and found the two little graves for burial. Since my grandmother was born in Lodi, sometime shortly after the deaths, they must have moved to California. I'd have gone crazy, too, if I'd had to endure all of that! My grandmother grew up in a single parent home, was often placed with other minister's families while her father went preachin.' A friend and family member found her in the 1900 census in Ohio, living with another family, and listed as "a servant." That one makes my blood boil - Grandma was only 12 years old then! Later, she stayed for a time with the family of Bishop Wright, and she told me she was treated very kindly by him and his family. And by the way, Bishop Wright was the father of --Wilbur and Orville! The story I think, is true. I have my gr.grandfather's Bible, and there is a picture of Bishop Wright pasted in the back cover of the Bible. My grandmother married Thomas Jackson Niceley in Fresno CA, in 1913. In May 28, 1914, my grandmother, then married just over a year, picked up the morning paper, there to read of the murder of her father! And nobody warned her! She was carrying my father at the time, and he was born in November 1914. I have the headlines from that newspaper story. When a friend sent me those headlines, I was as shocked as if it had happened to me. My grandmother had told me of his murder, but not of the shock she endured. My Niceley line is traced back into the 1600's, my Fleenor line, back to a Johannes Flinner, wife Anna Minnick who arrived in the New World in late 1754, I have the name of the ship, who commanded her, and the fact that she sailed from Hamburg. Hope this helps. I've been looking for IL Stevens for several years. Very truly yours, Nikoli Antoinette Niceley McCracken, nickname Penny. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Stevens To: stevens@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 12:20 AM Subject: [STEVENS] My Secret: Harrison County, IN Stevens It's not really a secret, but for 35 years, I've been writing down every Stevens/Stephens/Stebbins/Steffans/Stephanapolis etc that I can find.

David Yes, we live in Grants Pass, Oregon and a JAMES T. STEVENS was one of the children of JAMES D. and SARAH STEVENS that I couldn't find after the Civil War. Wouldn't that be a hoot if one of his descendants was living right here? I am impressed with your research. When I look for a Stevens in any census I too will write down any Stevens there in case they are related. The information I had for John J., my husbands Grandfather, said he was born in Miller Co., MO. In Miller Co. was a Stephens family that Included a James but said James didn't have a son named John J. This family was of the PETER STEPHENS line from the Shenandoah Valley, VA in the early 1700's. Our James showed up in Miller Co. in the 1860's. Do you have the book on the PETER STEPHENS lineage? If not I would be happy to send it to you, it is loose leaf. I have not been able to find our line in it. That line is thought to be German but I'm not sure of that.

none yet. I am related to a John Doss/Dawson Stevens in Cincinnati in 1850. John was born in Indiana abt 1809. Jacob is the first Stevens that I have found who married a Doss or Dawson in Indiana in the early 1800's. Therefore I am interested in learning more about Jacob and his family who may have been around Indiana in the early 1800's to see if there is a match.

David: I guess this message was for me, Pat Stevens. You seem to have a wealth of information on those Stevens/Stephens lines. I have found our James and son John J. spelled Stephens in all of the census' but the family spells it Stevens and that is how it is spelled on John J.'s grave stone. Did you find James, Sarah and little John in the 1850? Do you have any idea where he might belong? James and family were in Miller Co in the 1860. After the war I found John J. and his younger brother, Joseph W., in Taney Co., MO. I have not found James, Sarah, their other son James T. or their daughter, Rebecca. Thank you for your input.

I checked the Jacob B STEVENS & Rhoda LEVINS in Missouri 1850 census and this is not Jacob Brod STEVENS & Rhoda DOSS. Rhoda LEVINS is not the mother of the first 11 children, including the William STEVENS living with the family next door. Jacob B STEVENS is connected to the Stongington, CT STEVENS. Jacob Brod STEVENS seems to be connected to the Orange, VA STEVENS.
