I don't know what names they might have used, as my grandfathers name was Robert Alexander Stevens ,but I have found his name on census as : R.A., Alec, Alex , Elax , Bob, but here goes: Thomas A. b.1855 Amanda b.1856 William b.1857 George b. 1862 Robert Alexander b. 1864 Louiesa b.1867 Abbie b. 1870 Maggie b.1872 Peter Carl b. 1874 Emma b. 1874 B.F. [Frank ] b.1876 Some of them were possibly married , and could have children at this time ,but I have no information on them at this time . Truman Stevens
