Since all of John Brown Stephens children were born in MS I guess this can't be my line. James D. Stephens was born in KY about 1827. He married in Morgan Co., MO about 1848 and there were two older Stevens/Stephens in Morgan Co. in the 1850 census. One was a John Stevens who had been in MO about 10 years as the first of his children to be born in MO. was 10 years old. In Campbell Co., KY I found a Reverend John Stevens who left that area about 1840 but I haven't been able to find a list of his children. With so many Stephens /Stevens families and so many John's and James' they are pretty hard to sort out. Need to get back to the LDS library. Thanks again. Pat
