My brick wall is one Thomas STEVENS of Madison/Montgomery County, KY, married 1786 to Elizabeth CALK, daughter of William CALK, a KY pioneer. He was born about 1762 maybe in Albemarle Co, VA. In an interview for Godspeed's, his grandson said he was born in Albemarle Co, VA, but a lot of info in that interview turned out to be incorrect. After Thomas' marriage to Elizabeth CALK, they removed to Greene Co, AL where Elizabeth died. He then removed to Shelby Co, TN where he lived for a while and then removed to Texas about 1834 where he received a large Spanish land grant. He died in Texas about 1842.I don't know if his childrens names would provide a clue to his parents or not. He had 11 children: Elizabeth, 1787, KY (Edward T Freeman) AL LA AR Sarah, 1788, KY (Phillip Williams) Parthenia, 1791, KY (Thomas Jones Manion) TN KY Tamer, 1798, Madison Co, KY (George E Hunter) KY AL TN TX William C, 1800, Madison Co, KY (Mildred W Moore)KY TN AR Thomas C, 1802, KY m(Jane A Kincaid) KY TN TX Fidelia, 1805, Madison Co, KY (Jefferson Messick) KY TN Madison V, 1808, KY, (Uphana or Juana)KY TN TX Mary Zelo Zasko, 1811, Mont'y Co, KY (John Bradley, Thomas B Altom) TN TX Joseph B, 1813, Madison Co, KY (Matilda Hawkins)KY TN AR Andrew J, 1817, KY (Emily, Caroline Pewitt Maddox) KY AL TN TX Any information will be appreciated.

Does anybody know JON FAIR ? He's the person who told me that my Thomas Stevens b. 1813 ,Harrison, IN is NOT the Thomas "Missouri" Stevens b. 1813 ,Harrison, IN son of Benjamin Stevens & Nancy Arnold. In Harrison County, Indiana, has anybody sorted out all of the Thomas Stevens, Benjamin Stevens, James Stevens, John Stevens, William Stevens, etc ? How many people are working on a Stevens line (or any family line) through Harrison County, Indiana ? I have several similarities with the Thomas Stevens of Paul R Dafft, but without that northern migration thru Indiana, I can't see a connection. Thanks, DS

I have not researched the Harrison county Stevens and I was looking back through the previous posts when I noticed the family of Jacob Stevens and Rhoda Doss. Not sure how I overlooked this email before. I am looking for a John Doss(or Dawson) Stevens, who lives in Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio in 1850. Jacob is the first Stephens/Doss relation that I have found. I did see that Jacob supposedly bought land in Harrison county around 1809. This is about the time that my John was born - in Indiana. I noticed that their children seem to be sparsely documented so far. I have not located John in 1840 as there are a few possibilities in Indiana - including Harrison county. In 1850, there is a Joseph (b. abt 1830) living with John, and an Edward(b. abt 1826) living next to him. Also in the same township is an Elizabeth(b. abt 1830) whose daughter lives with Edward in 1870. I know John is somehow related to a James Stephens in Lawrence county, 1820, then Martin county in mid-1820s until his death in 1842. According to one of James' children, he was born in NC and his first wife was born in TN. There are other Stephens in Martin county in 1840 - Thomas Willet Stephens who came from TN near Knoxville and Richard C. Stephens that I can not find in 1830 - I think is related to Thomas. Also there is a William Stephens b. between 1800-1810 that is only there in 1840. Many of the names are similar to those of Harrison county and I see that Benjamin in 1850 is listed as born in TN. In 1830 in Harrison county, I see Jacob and Thomas are of the same age as the James I am researching(b. in the 1170's/1780's. I'm getting the picture that there was a mass Stevens migration from NC and TN in the late 1790's and early 1800's. Charlie p.s. I leave today for a couple of days, so I will follow up when I return.

I just found that someone has attached Jacob Brod STEVENS to Joseph STEVENS and Jerusha STOW and this line goes back to John STEVENS & Alice ATKINS of CT. They also claim Rhoda DOSS was born in CT.
