Searching for parents of Julia Stevens who was born abt 1799, perhaps in PA census states PA and same is erased. She married abt 1821 as his second wife, William Lewis, who was born Rensselaer Co, NY 1778 and died 1842 in Caneadea, Allegany Co, NY. Julia died abt 1873 - marked on her tombstone in Mount Pleasant Cemetery,town of Caneadea, Allegany Co, NY.

Linda, I don't show a Jonathan on my list and I wonder if Jonathan is also born in 13 April 1703 and had a son named Hiel. (Sorry folks, I got bit by a second spider, a furry one) and I hibernated most of the year.) The name elNATHAN is so curious and unusual, but joNATHAN is rather common.

We have found that in our Stephens-Stevens men's DNA testing project that Stevens are Stephens and one Stephenson was a Stevens. Chalk it up to semi-literate census takers and county officials who misspelled names repeatedly changing an immigrant into a new and differently named American citizen.

Author: Rekput Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stevens/38.49.1.1.1.1.2.2.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Charlie, you're very welcome. I enjoyed giving you a big nudge along in your research. Sometimes it just helps to have an outside person take a look at your research problems to break through. While I don't have the time to continue to dig out census data, etc, with what I've given you, I'm certain that you'll have a great time now finding those records and putting your family groups and tree together. If you run into a snag again on a point here or there, please give me a shout. If it's something I can try to find for you, I will. For now...I've given you your Stevens line back to ...what was it...the 4th great grandfather I think...I don't know if I counted....yes...Curtis, James, Edward and Edward. I do have some suggestions for you if you want to try to go back further. I suggest that if you can get to Spencer Co, KY, you could check land record purchases to see if there's a purchase by Edward Sr. which might indicate where he came from, or also look for another early Stephens purchase by another guy who could possibly be Edward Sr.'s father. Also, something that would be easier, would be to look for a possible probate for an early Stephens in Spencer Co...find out what you can from that....which might indicate wife's name and children...or sometimes sibblings and see if you can trace those back to New England...or wherever. I think I remember that Edward Sr. was from Maryland, wasn't he? I can't remember right now, but that's an excellent thing to know with such a common name. At least you're not looking at the entire US of the time period. I would also suggest that you check Monroe Co for probates for James M. (and wife) and his father Edward (and wife Elizabeth...since I think she outlived him). Those would probably give you a great insight into the family groups and who knows what else for info. Of course, you will want to get copies of the marriage records in Spencer and Monroe counties...and what birth records in Monroe county that exist. Again...best of luck to you and remember that I can sometimes take the time to do a lookup now and then or help you think about what you should do next for research projects. It's been fun!

Hi Guys, I'm in the process of writing a family history that includes part of my Stevens line, and I just ran across something that I haven't seen addressed anywhere else. My line comes forward from the original US patriarch John, to his son William (who married Mary Meigs), to Josiah who married Sarah Hubbell, and their son Elnathan (born 1703). According to almost all family histories online I see that Elnathan married Mary Hull (d/o Ensign John and Mary Osborn). However... This evening I was looking at a great Connecticut site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/0_ct-index.htm and scrolled down to Middlesex County, and then Killingworth to the Barbour Records. I went to the h's to look for Mary Hull's family and found: Mary, m Jonathan STEEVENS, Feb 15, 1727/28. Um, that's the same date that she supposedly married Elnathan! The Barbour collection is supposedly the official records of the town, so did Elnathan marry Mary or did his brother Jonathan? and if not Elnathan, than who did he marry? I thought that it might have been a misprint so I went to see what it said under Stevens, Jonathan, and it gives him marrying Mary Hull. I looked up Elnathan and it doesn't list a wife! I looked up my next grandfather coming down toward me and that would be Hiel. It lists his parents as Elnathan and Mary. Did he marry a different Mary? Has anyone researched out this line? Any thoughts? Thanks, Linda Trent 5th great granddaughter of Elnathan and Mary?

Julie Bissell Tupker I did one last search for you this morning to see if I could find the location of Edward Stephens in 1850 Kentucky. I was able to locate him, wife and child, Thomas in District 1, Spencer Co, KY. Edward Stephens 27 KY Elizabeth 20 KY thomas E 3 KY (Thomas was the oldest kid in their 1860 household in Monroe Co, IN, so this is the right family.) I also did a check for ANY Stephens in Spencer Co as well as a search on the IGI for possible birth parents for this Edward Stephens. I was lucky on both counts. The Familysearch.org IGI shows that an Edward Stephens born in 1822/3 was the son of Edward and Mary Ramsey Stephens. There is also an Ancestral file on Familysearch.org, which I'll get to in a bit. The 1850 census for this father and mother of Edward born 1822/3 is as follows: Edward Stephens 55 Maryland Mary R. 52 KY Samuel H. 19 KY John L. 20 KY Mary 24 KY Alex I 15 KY Sarah 12 KY Benj. H. 10 KY The Ancestral file indicates that Mary Ramsey was the daughter of Seth Ramsey and Lucy Hiatt and that couple was Marry Feb 5, 1789/80 in Lincoln Co, KY. Lucy's father was William Hiatt b about 1739. Seth Ramsey was born about 1764 in Culpepper Co, VA and died about 1840/50 in Spencer Co, KY. You should check out this Ancestral file yourself on line, but also understand that the information in Ancestral files should always be confirmed by your own research. If you go to this Ancestral file, you will find that there was a submitter and submitter information and more information to glean. It's possible that you could contact the person who submitted the information and connect with them. They usually always have some connection to the family. This submitter is in Michigan, but I don't want to post her name on this forum. Another find on Familysearch.org was a marriage reference to an Elizabeth Figg and an Edward Stephens in KY 1845-48. Further search found an Elizabeth Figg April 26, 1829 in Shelby Co, KY and who died Dec 2, 1910. Her parents were Thomas Figg b Oct 8, 1805 of Hardin , KY and Rebecca Howerton Figg b March 8, 1810 VA. This couple and a huge houseful of kids were just a page or so away from one of the Edward Stephens 1850 Spencer Co, IN families. Thomas Figg was the son of Seeli and Mary Kay Kendall Figg. He died March 15, 1867 in Ellettsville, Monroe Co, IN. His wife, Rebecca Howerton Figg was the daughter of James Howerton and Sarah Coots and she died in Elletsville, Monroe Co, IN Jan 23, 1897. I'm sure you could find at least Rebecca Figg in 1870 and 1880 Monroe Co, IN. Anyway, along with the Ancestral File data (which should always be checked for accuracy with research records) and the fact that this Figg family moved to Monroe Co, IN, it pretty much nails it in my mind tha! t Thomas and Rebecca were the parents of Elizabeth, wife of Edward Stephens (b 1822), so his wife's last name was Figg. There should be a marriage record in Monroe Co, IN for them. The 1850 census for Thomas and Rebecca Figg is as follows: Thomas Figg 44 KY Rebecca 40 VA Eli 18 KY James 15 KY Sarah A 12 KY Thomas D 10 KY Nancy S 9 KY John T 7 KY Columbus 4 KY Mildred E 2 KY Elizabeth fits in nicely as one of their older children. BTW...there is an E. Figg, female, age 80, born Maryland, also in District 1 of Spencer co, KY in 1850. She is living with apparently a married daughter and family. She could well be the mother of Thomas Figg and thus back another generation on that line. So, to recap, here's the Stephens line as we now know it to be for you: Curtis son of Robert and Dorie/Dovie Swafford Robert son of James M. and Nancy Morton/Martin James M. son of Edward (1822 KY) and Elizabeth Figg Edward son of Edward (about 1795 Maryland) and Mary Ramsey There are a lot of gaps of information left for you to research and individuals in both the Spencer Co, KY and Monroe Co, IN areas. Please go to the Ancestral files on Familysearch.org to check out all the extended lines indicated for the families I mentioned above. This is as far as time will permit me to take this. But, it was a fun research exercise and I was glad to help you out. I wish you well future research for your Stephens family.

What has been cool is the Payton side which goes with Stevens and the knott side that goes with the Riley side. The name knott is a grandmother and so is the name payton. I just thought I would be able to get further on the mens last names but that is not the case here. I don't know if you know my end of the line. Here goes. Curtis Stevens b 1910 married Mildred E. Payton I'm not sure of her birthday. They had 6 children together Ida or Ada, Linda, Charles, Arthur, Harold and Robert Stevens.

If there is one thing I have learned in my genealogy research, it is don't ever say Never about your name spelling. Because even if Your family never spelled it but one way, let me tell you, the tax man, or the census taker, or the judge, the newspaper, the neighbor or the court, etc etc etc did. My Stevens go by both Stephens and Stevens, and without the S sometimes. I have read that sometimes a brother might deliberately spell his name a different way so that everyone would know that was His family if they saw the name written. Spelling was not a big deal way back when--some President (Andrew Jackson?) said something along the lines of, "I can't respect a man who can only spell a word 3 ways." I have a news article about my great grandfather--his first name is spelled two different ways in the same article. My Groppes are Groppa, Groupe, Grappe, and Gropp. My McNamara is McNamee and his brother is Mack. I can't even begin to tell you the At Least 25 spellings for Schwertfeger. Basically, in a name, every vowel can change, every consonant can double or become single, and that's just for starters. Gotta try them all :) Nancy

I had just forgotten to insert it into the previous email where I had outlined all the data I'd found about these women and their families. Did you see that one? If not, then this little bit of data wouldn't make any sense. I know I got a copy of it back that was posted to the list, but maybe for some reason you didn't receive it. Let me know if that's the case and we'll see what we can do about getting another copy sent to you. Your name is Stevens, (actually, it seems that they went more by Stephens in the earlier years from the records I found), but there is also the maternal side. If you're only interested in the ancestral line of the Stevens men and not that of their wives (and some people are and that's okay), who are your great grandmothers and back, then just ignore that. However, I remember that I had found at least one entry that suggested one of the maternal lines may have also been from Maryland and your farthest back Stevens I found was from Maryland, so they could have come from the same place. It's easier to nail down a new location when you're looking at more than one name. I hope that makes sense. Best of luck again with your search.

My understanding is that if you STEVENS/STEPHENS line came from England, the spelling might help localize the family. According to the information I have, STEPHENS is the spelling used in Wales and STEVENS is used in the rest of Great Britain. Linda **************It's Tax Time!

Hello All To address the question of Spelling the 'Stevens' name. my last name is spelled Stevens, my grandfathers records are spelled both ways - Stevens / Stephens - all his relatives in Penns are Stephens. I learned this lesson the hard way. For years I ignored a Christ Stephens in Penns. USA because I thought he couldn't be related. Once I obtained my G/grandmothers Obit some years ago on a Research Trip - there he was - listed in the Obit. My Grandfathers brother !! Since that Time I have connected up with Cousin's from his line. Turns out G/grandfather Adam Stephens / Stevens - both ways again in the Census records was from Germany - spelled Stephan / Steffan in the Ol' Country. So don't ignore the different spellings you see. I have made a List of all the various spellings I've encountered in my research in the last 20 years. Turns out G/grand- dad Adam Stephan had at least a Dozen relatives immigrate to the US Btwn 1830 & 1880 era, all the way from New York to Missouri. A large portion of the German 'Stephan' Families in the US are related according to my research. Here is a partial list of the various spellings I have found in these related Families: STAFFAN, STEFFAN, STEFFEN, STEFFON, STIFFAN, STEPHAN, STEPHEN, STEVAN, STEAVEN, STEVEN - AND ALL of these with a 'S' at the end. The variations are endless & too numerous to list on this posting. The Lesson here is Don't Ignore any spelling similar to how your Surname is spelled.
