Hello. I have found two references to my ancestor Bradstreet STEVENS (1787-1870) being a "cousin" of Thaddeus STEVENS (1792-1868). The Oberlin.edu site where Bradstreet relocated to (Oberlin, Ohio) called them cousins and a Dodge web-site said they were of the same line. I am trying to establish whether they are truly related. Both Bradstreet and Thaddeus were active in the Anti-Slavery movement; Thaddeus was a Congressman in Washington, D.C. and Bradstreet's son Ezra and grandson Durham were active in D.C. politics. (Durham White STEVENS was assassinated by a Korean national in San Francisco.) Various bios on Thaddeus list his parents as Joshua STEVENS (c1759/c1767-c1812) of Methuen, Mass. and Sarah MORRILL. Bradstreet STEVENS is from the line of Samuel STEVENS (1680-1753) and Rachael HEATH. > Nehemiah (1713- ) > Francis (1746- ) > Bradstreet. I may be missing children of Nehemiah. Nehemiah was born in Amesbury, Mass. He relocated to Hampstead, NH; mar. Anne DAVIS (1721- ) and I show two children: Francis (1746- ) and Samuel (1747- ) Can anyone connect these two? Regards, Jan
