Ancestors of John Alexander Stephens Generation No. 1 1. John Alexander Stephens, born December 21, 1811 in Leesburg, Loudoun County, Va; died April 05, 1872 in Loudoun, Co, Va. He married (1) Roxanna Burgess October 07, 1839 in Loudoun Co, Va. She was born June 21, 1821 in Virginia, Fairfax, and died February 03, 1895 in Germantown, Md. She was the daughter of William Burgess and Margaret ?. Notes for John Alexander Stephens: John Alexander Stephens/Stevens was by trade a house painter. He and his wife Roxanna (Roxie) (Roseanna) lived at one point on the Fulton farm which is in Loudoun county, Va near Sycoline which is a long road and a creek. The farm was named "Greenfield" and is 360 acres located 4 miles south of Leesburg on "Old Carolina Trail" There is suppose to be a old church somewhere in the area. I'm anxious to know if John Stephens parents or Roxanna's parents are buried close by. I have no hint on who the parents of John may be. Families that may be associated with them could be Clagett, Myers, Lowe, Burgess, Mason, Ault, Talbott, Smallwood, Hull, Downs, Berry, Fouch, Fouche. Unconfirmed notes. The Shackelfords, Kings and Stephens were all found in Loudoun, SPotslyvania, and before that in Caroline co. They are all related to the General Richard Henry Stephens family. Unconfirmed notes.
