Nancy I have a genealogy cousin, Carolyn, who has a STEVENSON line in Augusta Co., VA. We are working on HARMANs together so I only know a little about her STEVENSON line. She just had surgery yesterday and will be out of the loop for a few weeks. I am sure when she recovers she will be happy to correspond. William STEVENSON - lived in Westminster, Frederick, MD m. Ruth LAMB (1800 census shows 6 sons - I know two) 1. Levi Lamb STEVENSON b.c. 1787 MD d. 1873 Staunton m. Elizabeth DUNLAP in 1815 Augusta Co., VA 2. Joel STEVENSON b. Mar 1798 d. 1854 AL m. Elizabeth SCHOPPERT There is a book that covers this line through Joel to some extent: "Lauderdale County, Mississippi four families, 1835-1936: McLaurin, Simmons, Stevenson, and Smith" by William Shepherd Smith; 2002 w/ index This may have nothing to do with your Joseph but it is another avenue to pursue :-) Good luck Linda B.
