A fellow Stephenson researcher claimed she had a Robert Stephenson b. 1793 who married a Katherine Shields. Robert Stephenson was in Giles Co,TN in 1814. His brother Samuel Stephenson married Mary Shields. Samuel Stephenson went to Limestone Co,Alabama by 1822 and I think Robert Stephenson followed them to Alabama. Robert Stephenson and his wife are said to have had a son William Jackson Stephenson b. Alabama. This William Jackson Stephenson went to McLean Co,IL. and was on the 1895 Census of Brookyln Township in Poweshiek Co,Iowa. The Shields Genforum has an Alexander Shields b.South Carolina and a Leander Shields b. TN living in the same places as this William Jackson Stephenson in IL. I find this interesting since Alexander and Leander are names found among the Shields in Giles Co,TN. I know that George Shields and Alexander Barron were living in Pendleton Co,! SC in 1800. Robert Stephenson was a witness to a land transaction between George Shields,Alexander Barron Sr,and Alexander Barron Jr. in 1814. I think it is quite possible that Robert Stephenson did marry one of the Shields'girls. On the 1895 census of Brooklyn,Township,Poweshiek Co,IA is William Stephenson,age 68,b.Ala. His wife Polly Perkins is also listed. They married in Illinois in 1850 and a William J. Stephenson purchased land in McLean Co,IL.in 1851.

His birth year is 1732 in Lancaster County, PA. He died c. 1808 in Giles County, TN. His wife was Elizabeth McElroy Htey had 5 children: Elisabeth, Mary Polly, Williami, Jane, and John. These are the notes I have on Samuel: transferred to 4th Pennsylvania Jan. 17, 1781 wounded July 6, 1781 at Battle at Green Springs. transferred to 3rd Pennsylvania on Jan. 1, 1783, serving until June 1783. All war and bounty records in National Archives were detroyed by fire in War Office in 1800 except warrant #1425 for 300 acres of land issued July 16, 1789 for services rendered. After close of war moved with wife and 5 children to Bedford County, Pennsylvania, owning a home there in 1784. Here Elizabeth died and Samuel married Mary in Carlisle, Penn. Later moved to Mecklenburg County, NC. Late 1780's moved all families (including daughters and their husbands) to Elbert Co., Georgia, then several years later to Tennessee, south of Nashville, settling on land in area which became Giles Co. and Maury Co., TN. Early 1808, they, with children and grandchildren's families, crossed over ridge that runs along the northeast border of Giles Co., passing through a gap which for many years afterwards was known as the Montgomery Gap, now known as the Dodson Gap. Leander and Ann King settled just south of the gap. Capt. Samuel and his son John settled further south on Robertson Fork of Richland Creek. James Shields and Hugh King settled on Fountain Creek at extreme southern edge of Maury Co., (flows into Duck River), and neighbors were George and Rosannah Falls Davidson. I hope this is of help to you. Hoorah! :) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Don't know if this church existed in Giles County but accoring to the 1986 Cemetery Records Book for Giles County there is a listing for Bethesda Cemetery as states as location: Highway 31 S, left at Ephesus Church into Hardy Road, cemetery on right, across from church. I did not find a listing for a John Vining buried there but if no stone there is probably no listing. Try Limestone County AL near Ardmore which is almost on the AL/TN State Line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cynthia" <cydean@cox.net> To: <TNGILES@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 2:29 PM Subject: [TNGILES] BETHESDA METHODIST CHURCH > Dear List; > > I am researching my ancestor John Vining of Lincoln Co., TN.

Dear List; I am researching my ancestor John Vining of Lincoln Co., TN. He was born 1825 and died in 1890 in Lincoln Co., TN.

However, the Lincoln Co., Genealogy Society says that Bethesda, State Line Church does not exist in Lincoln Co. I also tried Madison Co., AL. with no luck. Does anyone know if this Church existed in Giles Co. and if so, does it have a cemetery? Cyndy _____ I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Hello to Everyone, This is just a reminder that April 8th is the deadline for orders and articles for the Marshall County Heritage Book. Just one week from tomorrow. If you have not placed your order or submitted an article we beg you to do so. The website is: www.county-heritage.com/tn/marshall You can find all the information needed at this website. For you that have all ready placed your orders and written articles we thank you so much, and for you that are working feverishly to make the deadline we are grateful. If you need any further information, feel free to email or call us. Thank you again. Ruby and Jim Thomas

Steve, you are welcome. You are exactly the person I thought might be interested in this information. Sorting the LCA and GCT Holt's has sometimes proven to be a great challenge. Then tracking down the LCA Holt's who moved to Texas has proven to be an even greater challenge. I found Mattie in the 1920 Lamar Co., TX census living with her son W.H. Holt, but didn't find her son Claud P. Holt nor the dau Rue Ethel. If you take a good look at the 1900 census for family of George P. one would never decipher her given name to be either Rue Ethel or Ethel Rue Holt. The 1910 Ellis Co., TX census records under Mattie D. Holt isn't much clearer. George had siblings and cousins who moved to Lamar County so I'm guessing that's why Mattie moved the family to Lamar County. I'm guessing that Claude had asthma or some other lung problem and that's why the family moved to West Texas. I certainly wouldn't have looked for them there. Some of the extended Holt cousins would up in the Texas panhandle but not in the Abilene area so I certainly wouldn't have thought to look for them there. If you haven't already looked for some Stephenson descendants there I'd suggest you do so. I first found the obit for son William H. Holt. It was on the same page as a news item about a Browning-Landers (from Calhoun Co., AL) descendant I was tracking. I always check out Holt obits, just to see if its anyone that might be in my database and whalla! there was information on this long lost family of George P. Holt. Now, If only I could find the cemetery record for Geo. P. Holt.

I found members of this family while researching families in some of my other lines. Since it took me more than ten years to find out what happened to most members of this Holt family line I thought I'd share this infor with other Holt-Stephenson family researchers. It should be noted that there are other, unrelated, Holt families found in Abilene, Taylor Co., Texas records. George P. Holt named in newspaper articles below was son of William N. Holt and Martha Cunningham of Limestone Co., AL. He was grandson of Henry Holt and Dorothy Lewter both of whom died in Limestone Co., AL. Claud P. Holt named in records below died in Abilene, Taylor Co., TX on 2-23-1925. When Claude died, four lots were purchased in name of Mrs. Claude P. Holt. Claude was unmarried when he died so it is believed by cemetery personnel that the lots were actually purchased by Claude's mother, Mrs. Mattie Dorcas Stephenson Holt.
