Dear Bruce: I am pretty sure we compared our Stephens/Stevens before without finding a link but I don't have any of the siblings of our James D. Stephens/Stevens so the link could be there somewhere. Your Edward was born 1860-75 and our James was born 1827-30. Your Edward could be the son of one of James siblings. I believe I refered you to Ben Stevens whose GGrandfather and Grandfather were both Edward, the younger being born in Woodford Co., KY. Ben also had a James born the same year as our James and both married to a Sarah and both lost in the Civil War. He is sure his James never left Kentucky but I still think there is a connection. I think you said Ben's e-mail address was no longer good. Too bad because he is probably the one who has your line. There are no Edward's in our line that I know of. Sure wish I could help you with this. The lines are so close you feel like they must be connected somewhere. Keep in touch. I will print and save your information in case I come across anything.
