While researching for a William STEVENS from Chester, VT. I came across several ref. to a William Stevens living in Andover, a small town near Chester. Because I could find little info. on a William in Chester I began looking at the William in Andover. I recieved the following info. from a local Chester resident who was kind enough to do some searching for me. He says, "There was a William Stevens who lived in Andover in the 1700's & early 1800's. It seems to be a different line from from the family in Chester. This line coming from Henry who settled in Boston in 1635. William was born in Townsend, MA, 22 Jan.1753, son of William Stevens & Sybil Farnsworth. His birth does not seem to have been recorded in the Townsend vital records. He settled in Jaffrey, NH & moved to Andover, VT. & again back to Jaffrey, NH where he died 27 Sept. 1828. He was a member of the Vermont House of Representatives, in 1806. He also had a son William who was born in Townsend,MA, 28 Jan. 1783 (Hen! ry C. Hallowell, Vital Records of Townsend, MA., to 1850 (Boston, 1992), 248. He also had a dau. Abigail born in Andover, VT., 16 Jan 1808." Any clues there? From another source I show a Abibail Stevens m. to Sanford GRANGER, 26 Feb. 1826, Chester, VT. Also a Jereh. (one of the names you listed) as m. to Betsey FISHER, 6 Sept. 1822, Chester, VT. If you should come across a PETER STEVENS, born abt. 1808 from Chester area, appreciate you letting me know. Hope some of this info. helps. Pete
