Yes, I do have some info on Campbell, KY STEVENS. Sadly, I've found much misinformation in these books so far. I found Peter Stevens & his wife Maria Rittenhouse of the lineage of Richard of England. But, sadly they only had one child who also had only one child who had no children. I followed Obediah from Ohio to Cuero, DeWitt, TX (where I lived in the early 80s) But, people in Texas said they didn't know who their grandparents were. I have collected quite a few photos of his family. John Stevens of NY & NJ left many of his papers from late 1600s & early 1700s American records. His letters to General Washington & President Washington give loads of information about the creation of roads, canals & railroads in the early 1800s. It's easy to see how Stevens & Fulton built their steamships using info from each other's letters and thus leading to the creation of the US Patent Office. Fulton may have completed his steamboat first, but Stevens built his a little more carefully & Fulton refused when Stevens suggested an oceanic race. :-) I am continuing to identify WHERE Stevens / Stephens are buried. Colonel John Harrington STEVENS has several books about him & his family with lots of photos. I found very little when I added him to findagrave.com earlier this year.
