Does anyone have any information on a John Thomas Stephenson who received the Southern Cross in Huntsville,Madison Co,Al between 1901 and 1920, as outlined at the Madison Co,Alabama website for men who fought for the Confederacy from the Alabama counties of Marshall, Madison and Jackson? John Thomas Stephenson is listed as "Huntsville Pvt. who served in Co. G, 32nd Tennessee Infantry. From what I have found at the Giles Website, Co,G.,32nd TN Infantry was made up of men from Giles Co,TN. A Thomas John Stephenson is buried in the Maple Hill Cemetery.A book called "The Valliant Survivors",by the Madison County Daughters of the Confederacy, has T. J. Stephenson,Co,G.,32nd TN Infantry, Marker # and the numbers 357 and no dates. The book also lists a J.T." Stevenson,"Co,G,32nd TN Infantry,Marker #7,with a birthdate of 1 Feb 1841, with a repeat of the number 357. Two markers for the same man ? On the 1910 census of Madison Co,Al,Meridianville, is a J. T." Stephenson,"age 68,b. TN,wife Mettie H.,38,b.TN and Hugh,son,age 7,TN. Census I have shows only the father of T.J. b.TN There is a J.T. Stephenson who filed an application for a pension in Bedford Co,TN,claiming he fought with the 32nd,but gives no indication of the company Since my Sylvester Brown Stephenson joined the Confederacy in Madison Co,Al,I thought this John Stephenson might be a son of Samuel Stephenson and Mary Shields who settled early in Giles Co,TN and appear again on the 1850 census of Giles,but birth dates don't match. 1850 US Census for District 9, Giles, TN Samuel Stephenson, 53, 1797, SC Mary Stephenson, 53, 1797, SC Mary Stephenson, daughter, 18, AL John Stephenson, son, 16, AL Silvester B Stephenson, son, 13, AL That book "Valliant Survivors" has Jeff Stephenson,buried in the Liberty Hill Cemetery,Madison Co,1833-1886,serving with Spurlock's VA. Cav. This Jeff Stephenson is buried next to William Alexander Stephenson in the lot of George Darwin. This Jeff Stephenson must have been a son of Samuel and Mary Shields because William Alexander Stephenson was their Grandson,W.A. being the son of George Alexander Stephenson and his wife Elizabeth Perry. Samuel Stephenson's father Robert Stephenson served with three Darwin brothers from York Co,S.C. during the American Revolution. W.A. Stephenson married Dolly Darwin in Madison Co,Al in 1879. She was of the Darwins of York Co,S.C. What I find hard to believe is that Jeff would have gone all the way to VA. to serve in the Confederacy. There is a Jefferson Stephenson who served in Spurlock,s Co,of the 8th VA. Cav,but I don't believe he is the same Jeff buried in Madison Co,Al. Any help with the Stephenson/Stevenson of Co,G.,32nd TN Infantry is greatly appreciated!
