    3. In reply to your request about any data on any of the marriages of Stephens/Stevens George Herndon, married Elizabeth STEPHENSON not Stephens, this is confirmed in "The Herndons of the American Revolution" on page 15. Her parents were James Stevenson/Stephenson and wife Elizabeth "Betty" of Fauquier. "He (George) married Elizabeth Stevenson/Stephens, 1 Sep 1790. in Fauquier Co. Va. Born circa 1770 in Va. died after 1850, in Pr. William Co. Va. Census Reference 820031414. On George Herndon and Elizabeth Stevenson/Stephens marriage bond, Elizabeth was identified as Elizabeth "Stephens". John Herndon, probably Ge orge's Uncle was witness on the bond.
