STEPHE:t-ISON FAf·1ILY RECGRDS Chapter I is the record of DAVID STEPEENSON and his ·wife, ?v1ARTHA lwlcCLlJRE S'f_8PHE1TSON., It was prepared by Mrs o Hattie Stephenson Smith(l~ir--s. William G.) and Mrs. Mabel (H.M.) Sharp and others whose names are listed on the contributors page. It is the belief of Mrs. Virginia Nye Spencer Pur~ sell of San Rafael, California, who did most of the re search on the family of JAMES STEPHENSON, who died in Mon~ roe County{W.) Va., I802, which is in chapter III, that the DAVID of chapter I, was the son of JA.J.'1ES of Monroe. It will require more research to prove this. A letter from Mrs. Pursell on this subject will be found in chapter II, which is the record of a JAMES STEPHENSON, who was born in Greenbrier County(W. )Va., I799. In all probability this JAMES is the 8th child of DAVID and MARTHA McCLURE STEPHENSON of chapter I. History records of several counties of Ohio, put into the records by various descendants of both DAVID and JAME!S mention the 8 children, but only 7 are mentioned in the will of DAVIDo The will records, history records, tax records and other sources used are all in chapter VIII.

The wife of our subject bore the maiden name of Princess Lee, and was born in Marion Co., o., Aug.I, I864. He par ental grandfather, Parker Lee was a native of Penna. Her parents, Lewis and Susan(M rrison) Lee, were born in Mar ion and Muskingum Counties~0 respectively. Latter b.May 4, 1846. After the death of Mr. Lee, his widow married E. H. Allen or Buck Twp., Hardin Co.The 2 children of this couple, Earl Stevenson b.Aug.I6,I896 and Emery Lee Stevenson b. August 20, I889. In politics, Me. Stevenson is a staunch Republican, true at all times to the principles of his chosen party. Social ly he is connected with Amacitia Lodge No.79, I.O.O.F., Scioto Encampment No.I79. With his wife, he holds member ship in the Methodist Episcopal Church in Kenton, Ohio. Note from this copier; The first part of the account above is so closely parallel to the account of DAVID STEPHENSON who died I8I5 Champaign Co., o., leaving 8 Children, whose relatives lived in Clark County, where JAMES(grandfather of William Ward) went to work, it seems that JAMES must have been the SON of DAVID and wife MARTHA STEPHENSON. They were married in Greenbrier Co.(W)Va. where James was born(Census I850). David was said to have had 8 children, though only 7 are mentioned in the will. But a will, made under such circumstances, given orally on a deathbed, and recorded later by the witnesses in Urbana 1 could most ea~ ily have been inaccurate. James was b. ·Greenbrier Co. (vl) Va. I799, David and Martha· were married there Dec.I8, I789 by Rev. John Mccue. Record of James bir·th is copied from his Bible, and the record of the children of David and Martha M~Clure9Besides James) Has already been put into this account.

CHAPTER II JAMES STEPHENSON RECORD LETTER Page I April 7, I960;2IO Ross Valley Dr., San Raphael, Calif. Dear Cousin; It was nice to hear from you, and I 1m con vinced that your DAVID STEPHENSON is the same DAVID list ed as one of the sons of JAMES STEPHENSON who d. Monroe Co~{W)Va., I802, but I can't prove it either(and I do know what a disappointment it is to you), in spite of my spending 3 days going through masses of records and letters out of which I put together those parts which seemed cer tain into the record which you saw. (Chapter III) The core of what we know about James of Monroe came from his last surviving grandson in Jackson Co.O.(Wm.older bro. of my great grandmother, Nancy, f. son of Wm. one of the 4 brothers who settled in Jackson County, Ohio. Mr. Dan Williams, father of Ben Ames Williams, was Ed.of "Standard Journal" Jackson, o.and in I895 he went around interviewing old people about their familes & early hist ory of the county. Aug. !895, he published what he'd gath ered re the STEPHENSONS from William Stephenson, who was then 77, and his father had died 50 years before, but still William was quite accurate about the uncles and their fam ilies who has settled in Jackson Co.,O. and he even remem- bered the names of 2 other u.ncles;DAVID and ELIJAH STEPP ENSON- If you've ever tried to pry family information out of un interested people, you know the interview went like this: "Did the whole family· come to Ohio?" "No not all~• "Can you remember the names of any of your father's other brothers?" ''Well, there was a Di-.VID and an ELIJAH" "Did they die in Virginia·?"Well, ELIJAH did." All I'm trying to say is that I just dDn 1 t think your DAVID is ruled out of that family merely because William didn't remember that the "Uncle David" he'd heard mention ed as a child had really died in a different part of Ohio before he(William) was born in the wilderness of Jackson County in I8I8. That "Standard Journal" article was quoted practically verbatim in a little Horton Hist. Nothing more about Dav id in it. Complete files are said to be in Columbus, I am sure it means State.(Possibly Museum Lib.) A grandson of JAMES, one of Jackson 4 bros.,Robert, told Mr. Williams that the brothers father, Jamesof Monroe, was son of a JAMES who came to America I?OO. Mr. Williams, try to organize various vague statements, listed him as JAMES I, the brothers father as JAMBS II. I can't accept that yet, because I don't think anybody in Jackson County at that time knew their antecedents that far back. I think it was much more likely the result of of a little reading and jumping to the conclusion when he found an early Cont'd next page CHAPTER II J!J·1ES S'I'EPI1EN3~H~ RECORD T.JET'I'ER Page 2, JAMES with a son JAT--IBS. There were several James Stephen sons in Northern & western Va. However, several serious serious searcl1ers persist in calli.ng JA!•fES of Monroe JAMES II. They're a great cross tc me, and vice versa. JAMES of ?·1011.roe' father may have been James, but we need more proof. You may have provided it_ If we can prove that your DAVID ASSIGNEE OF F~MILTON STEPHENSON was truly that DAVID, son'of JAMES of MONROE. That Craven c. S.C will I773J naming JA?IBS !?1 IL\r1ILTON, becomes interesting. There are many vague & Contradicting angles in trying to put together this big family. For instance, my great Uncle \villiam names 9 ch. of JAMES, and other relatives sai.d he had II sons 7 5 daughters. That big family explains one puzzle, there was almost one generation between the brothers who went to Jackson Co. 1 John h \-I757 and my 1rJj_ 11 iam1i I dor1' t knov.T tlm' s b ~ date J ·b-..;. t hia dau~ Nancy 1N"E1 s l), Ifl?J! ~ sn.d. i~l1r:}rt:1 v1ePn S6Ve1,a} ch.fl younger than she. I believe that your DAVID, JOHN b~I757, ALEXANDER and ELI JAH(possib:; the ELIJAH BRAZIL STINSON mentioned later) were among JA:MES and ANNE'S eldest ch. and were not mentioned in their fa~her's will because they were grown and out on their own, perhaps had rece~ved their shares. From bits & pieces here and there, I think it was avery loving family. MARRIAGE BONDS Bath Co. Va.(formed from Greenbrier) 1783 DAVID STEPHENSON and Mary Davis.

CHAPTER II JAMES STEPHENSON LETTER Page 5 The longer I go over this, the more I'm convinced that your DAVID is the DAVID nam.es as the son of JAMES of Monroe County, (,i )'\fa. Certainly he belonged to the same inlnlediate family. But how to prove it, that he was a son_, not a nephew or other close relative, is a problem. I think the best bet is a close search in Kanawha County, where a DAVID lived on same land in Teay•s Valley as JAMES known son, John. Do please write Mrs, Davenport, and to Mrs. Carns, desc•• endant of Elijah, and see if they have turned up anything in the intervening years. All best wishes, my dear cousin, wish we could meet and talk. Most sincerely Virginia Spencer Pursell Mrsif Wm.M.

He felt sufficiently permanent on 1rlolfe Cr. to take up new land and that by I8IO his brother William was already in Cabell Co. and selling his share of the family land~ indicates that the widow, Anne, died between I807~I8IO, and by I8I0 9 the home on Wolfe Creek was being broken up and the family scat tering. William reached Jackson Co. Ohio the same year 9 I8IO Samuel, with wife Jane 9 & at least I child~ John S. 9 joined him there in I8II, followed later by at least two older brothers, John and James. The Samuel who took up land on Wolf Creek I807 could only be our Samuel, son of our James, there was no other Samuel who could be confused with ours. In the entire history of early Mor.roe County, as shown both by Court records~ andthe history published by "Morton" there have been only two fam ilies "Stephenson-Stevenson.... Stinson" that of our James and one other, which became extinct in Monroe Co. I807, except for one"George Stephenson" who had II Daught·ers 9 no sons. No legal records whatever of the antecedents of this George. Family traditions say he was the son of a George Stephenson, "A Germar./' who came to America ca. I770, settled on Indian

Creek, had 2 sons,"a Samuel who went to Augusta 9 causing the name to become extinct in Monroe 9 and the "George who had the II Daughters, no sons." That Samuel disappeared into

Augusta before the period in wh~ch we are interested 9 and the only male STEPHENSON on record after I799 are our James and his sons.

Also, our Samuel Stephenson mar. I802 9 Jane Shope(Swope), daughter early and very prominent family on Wolf Creek. Will of JAMES STEPHE!NSON

Stating briefly steps by which JAMES STEPHENSON Sr. was iden tified as father of above children; JOHN, JA:MESj SAMUEL and WILLIAM STEPHENSON were among first settlers in what is now Jackson Co., Ohio. About I895 the Hon.Dan W. Williams, editor and Historian, was collecting data on earliest families in the Co. for publication in his paper.,the "Standard-Journal". August, I895, he published an article on the STEPHENSON Fam ily, based on an outline supplied by last surviving son or the 4 pioneers, WILLIAM-STEPHENSON, of Fourmile, son of the pioneer WILLIAM. Mr. Thomas Wayne Horton based his !925 hist ory of the related Horton family on this outline.Mr. Dan Williams was writing as late as 1921, correlating bits of in formation from other descendants.From these researches, and from "History of the Lower Scioto Valley", from "History of the Hanging Rock Region" and from correspondence with desc endants, these are some facts which emerged regarding the family in Jackson Cou..~ty; I. The 4 pioneers to Jackson Co., John., James, Samuel and William Stephenson, were brothers, sons of James Stephenson of Virginia. 2. James Stephenson's wife was a Miss Garner or Hardner. 3. One of his daughters married Boyd Miller. 4. Samuel Stephenson, one of the brothers in Jackson County was known to have married "Jane Shope" of Monroe County,· Virginia, and their oldest child was born in Monroe County in I80.3.

2.A Greenbrier court order 9 I79I, in which James Stephenson Sr., wife Anne and James Stephenson Jro were named as of' Bath County at that time. The -smae group later in Monroe County, even though James Jro was not named in James Srws will. 3. An exhaustive search of Monroe County records showed no male STEPHENSONS in the county from I799 to modern times 9 except the JA:MES s~., of the I802 will and his sons,whose land was on Wolf Creek. 4o Wolf Creek was the ancient home of the SWOPE Familye Mon~ roe County marriage records 9 and the published genealogy of the Swope family shows that Jane Swope married Samuel

Stephenson, 1802. In the original banns 9 her name was spel~ led Swoope. No other m·arriage of any Samuel Stepehsnon to anybody, any year; nor of any Jane Shope~Swope~Swoope to anybody, any year. Just the one I802 9 a year before John Shope Stephenson, son of the pioneer Samuel and Jane Shope Stephenson(of Jackson Cou.nty 9 Ohio) was born in Monroe Coo 9 Va. Oren Morton, in his "History of Monroe County 9 We Vae" took official recognition bf these variations in spellingsg stating that "Perhaps no name had such liberties taken with it as Swope"o The dovetailing of the above Ohio and Virginia records conclusively identifies James Stephenson Sro 9 as the father of the Jackson County.9 Ohio)) brot..herso JPJ·1ES STEPHENSON died r1onroe Coe 1802.

Nancy was the common nickname for"Agnes'' among the Scotch=Irish. She was the daughter of Joshua Ewing, for whom one of her sons was named, and was named in her father's will as Agnes Stc:a ephenson. Her sister Sarah, mar.Alexander Stephenson9 and had a son, John Garner Stephenson, as previously stated. A

NATHANIEL EW'ING, son of a JOSHUA EltlING 9 settled in Iredell County, North Carolina, served in the Revolution from there and founded a prominent family .. In that same county!) Iredell there still exists a distinguished Stevenson famlly 9 whose rounder 9 WILLIAM STEVENSON, came to America from Antrim,Ire land, settled in Pennsylvaniai I748, moved to Iredell Co.N. c. I762. At the same time, his brother,JOHN settled in Blackstock, now on border between Chester and Fairfield Co untiesoS.C. Numerous others of this clan came directly to Iredell and these two counties, and several came by way of Pennsylvania to South Carolina.

Since Samuel's marriage is dated the following Octe20th, Monroe Co., we can deduce that Samuel was probably the oldest of the ch. still liv ing at home when the father became ill and decided to make a will. Samuel rec'd a grant of 50 additional A. on Wolf Creek, Monroe Co. I807. Both of his children were probably bo1~r1 there, certainly his son, John Shope Steph enson, b.IO-IJ-I803j and probably dau.

WILLIAM STEPHENSON son of JAMES STEPHENSON SR&(who died I802 in Monroe Co. Va.)

WILLIAM 9 born N.c. date 11nknowng probably ca I780. He was named in his fatherns will, and was one of the younger child ren in James' very large familycHis mother was undoubtedly Anne,,_ Jamesv .. surviving wife, and Willi.am named his first child for her. As stated before, James Stephensonvs wife is said to have been a Miss Garner, and his will and other re cords in his life name hi.s wife "Anne"~ But t'\Thether Anne was his only wife, mother of all his children, and therefore Anne Garner, we can't be sure of yet., The first glimpse we get of 'William., aside from his name in c.Tames Sr 9 s willj written in I802,June 2nd., r-1onroe Coe,Va. is a week latera On the 9th of June, \-Imw and his older bro-= ther, James Jr., were in Bath Co.,Va~~ their old home, from which they had recently moved to r-'Ionroe CoQ Together they counted out a sum of money and put it into a pair of saddle bags. On the IOth, they started out for Greenbrier. James carried the key to the saddle bags ~ntil the morning of the I2th, and then gave it to William. Later that morning, Will~ iam went into the store of Kinkade and Vance and "Counted the money" according to the 'bestimony of James Vance Page I6 JAMES STEPHENSON died Monroe Co. Va.

James Vance of vvarm Springsj Bath County. This testimony appeared in the trial of a man named Sulser, accused of robbing the brothersj after they left the store and con= tinued on their way over the mountainse

By I8IO, William was in Cabell Co.(W)Va. 9 when he sold land at the head of Wolf Creek, Monroe Co. to Valentine Miller. (Ref. Early land conveyances Monroe Co.) This was obviously his share of the farm home, and indicates that his mother, Annej had recently died and the family scattering~ His old est known brother, John, was also living in Cabell Co. at this time, Teay's Valley, which later became Putnam Co.WeVa.

That same year, I8IOj William reached Jackson Co@ 0. 9 in the first wave of Greenbrj_er men who became permanent settlers. So many Greenbrier families came in the years following, that Jackson Co~ was called Greenbrie for many years. Most of these men or their fathers had served under Andrew Lewis at Battle of Point P1easant I774-~ They were hunters and ran gers, recruited at Fort Unlon in Greenbrier, of which Bath

Co. Va.& Monroe were then a part~ After the battle 9 which

they won against the Indians 9 but with heavy losses,they bur ied their dead and assigned guards to assist the wounded home, then decided to pursue the Indians to their home vil~ lages on the Scioto near present Chillicothe. Cutting across country, they stopped overnight, both going and coming~at the Salt Licks in present Jackson Co. The beautiful hard wood forests and abundance of game, including buffaloes, ap pealed to those men and many fell in love with it and resol~ ved to come backoBut the Revolution was on, in which many of

them saw service all ovev the Colonies 9 and it was not until after Gen.Anthony \fayne Y s treaty 1r,ii th the Indians in I795, that a few of them began to t1')i 01-~lo back to Jackson County9 the first big wave of set t-1 t!rn.(~ri.t. came i11 I8IO e WILLIAr,1 STEPHENSON'S origj_r1.al ra.r:.n was in what is now Frank lin Twp.~ and was described by 1··:/i.s son, 1rlilliam., ir1 I895.,as the farm now owned by Sam. Stcphflnson of Clay. Mre Morgan Evans of Oak Hill, who said he knew Sam Stephenson~s child~ ren and home well, wrote me in Feb~I953, that the farm lies

For the help of anyone able or willing to search deed in the Recorders office, in Jackson Courthouse, the farm lies Range I8W, Twp.6N, Sec.24 25,23, I4 or 13. It would greatly help our knowledge of other facts about the family, to learn when and how 1rlilliam acquired the land, when and to whom his widow or children sold it. Page I?

378.,"In July I8I2 9 Gen.Edw. Tupper of Gallia Co. came to the Licks to seek volunteers to fill up the Regt.which he had been commissioned to raise. More than 200 men enlisted for 6 months service.First camp after leaving Jackson was near a big spring on Lower Salt Creek, where many men carved their names on a large boulder 9 fallen from the cliffs a= bove some years before. This was known as Camp Rock 9 until it was blasted and used for building a new pike, an inexcus able piece of vandalism.In I895 it was in place~ and bore the legend"Camp cf I8I2". Gen. Tupper led his men thro Chil licothe and Urbana to the Maumee, entering Indian country in August. Ordered to march down the Maumee, the Indians attack~ ed them. A severe battle followed, Gen. Tupper and his men drove off the Indians., losing JO men to the Enemy's 300. Wmo Hewitt was one of the scouts with this expedition. He was·· the"hermit" of"Hermits Cavei' at the foot of the divide south of Chillicothe. Tuppers men were on short rations, and while pursuing the Indians, fell in with a large drove of hogs in a cornfield, and left the pursuit of the enemy to kill the hogs.(Ref.Atwatervs Hist.) The expedition returned to Fort

McArthur 9 and when winter set inJ returned to their homes. William Stephenson was elected clerk ofFranklin Twp.,when organized I8I6, same year served on first grand jury, of the new County.Thebrothers, James Jre,Samuel & Wm. all settled near each other in Franklin Twp.

The grandsons enlisted in the Union Army, at least one was killed~ Smith Jr. Mr. Daniel Williams says this as one of comparatively few afmilies which influe:nced the soc.., ial, economic & Political life of the county for over IOO years. WILLIAM STEPHENSON remained in Franklin Twp. until r830, nearly all ch. born there. Moved between I830=I840 to Sa-i.o.to Twp.

JAMES STEPHENSON died Monroe Coo Vao I802 Chapter III 0 Obituary Mrs. WeEoSoMcLean(Nancy Stephenson)Spencer McLean who died in Wheelersburg 9 Scioto County, Ohio, Aug.I2,I89I

Mrs. McLean, widow W.E.S. McLean 9 died at her home in Wheel ersburg Tuesday evening aged about 67 years. A lady of str~ ong character~ she had lived in this city for many years with her husband and familye She had spent most of her life in and near Wheelersburg, her husband having kept a store there and also a village hotel. Her maiden name was Nancy

Stephenson9 and she had been twice married. Her first hus~ bands name was Spencer~ and her son by this marriage» lives at Bloom Switch~ and attended the funeral~ his name James Spencer. She had 7 children by her 2nd marriage, 5 still living.Among these are Mrs. Aldrich and Mrs.Goodyear, both at the bedside of their mother when death claimed her. The funeral took place Thursday and was largely Attended, for the good lady was universally beloved. Interment was in Wheelersburgsbeautiful cemetery on the hille She will be greatly missed in the neighborhood, for she a lady of kind heart and many charitiese She was also, according to her grandson, Louis T. Spencer, "a Beauty, even in her old age, and able to take any little old house and in a short time turn it into an attractive home and garden't.she had a lot of trouble in her life 9 death of young first husband, son Lucien 9 two daughters, but there was an affectionate agiety about her family that her home was a Mecca for all her grandchildrene Her grandson9 Louis Spencer lived with her 2 years while attending schools She took 2 little granddaughters,Mertie and Clara Lodwick,when their mother died. Soon after, Nancy, at least 2 daughters and the 2 little girls went way out to Stafford Kansas to visit Aunt Katie Tyrell. Nancy 0 s daughters married, moved to

New York, but came back often.In her last illness 9 her daus. came from New York and took her to a St. Luuis hospital for treatment. We know very little about her first marriage. My father,,L.T.

Spencer 9 said when she was about I6, she and her family went to Missouri by boat down the Ohio river. Thomas Spencer met them in Louisv~lle, fell in love with Nancy, went to Moo with them, married Nancy. When her father died in Mo. ~ancy and

husband returned to Jackson Co. 9 0e This is partially confirm ed by later~found statement of her brother, Wm. Stephensen,

that his parents,Wm. & Margaret (Livesay) Stephenson9 went to Missouri in I840, and when the father died.there in I844, after which the widow returned to Jackson Co. I~ve found no trace of Margaret back in Jackson Co., but Thomas and Nancy Spencer were back by SepteI9, I844, when their first child, James John Spencer was born at Jackson Furnace.where his fa~ ther was the blacksmith.Thomas Spencer died at Jackson Fur~ nace "as a young man" either I847~or I850, when J.J. was about 6 years old. Page 24. JAMES STEPH~NSON died Monroe Coa 9 Vao I802 Chapter III Obituary Mrso WoEoSo McLean Cont 1 d, (Nancy Stephenson) A story told by Clara Lodwick~ says that Thomas Spenser was dying during a terrible storm and just before his death he said''Oh NancyjTYm dying and I have to take Lucian with me» and that Lucian died soon aftero I850 census gives Lucian age 2 9 Nancy Spencer 26~ head of family(Widowed); 2 sons 9 sister Catherine Stephenson I8 9 in Scioto Twp.Jackson Coo 0 0 This brings up another subject; _in spite of tracing every Spencer family in Virginia and Kentucky, following every clue,, paying for complete searches in courthouses all over both states 9 I still canYt identify our Thomas Spencer. We do not know when he and Nancy were married(or where). Their son, J.J. said they were mar.in Jacksoh Co.,but no record has been found.I now feel sure they were married in Moo 9 and I have been writing to the IOOplus courthouses in Moos huntc:, ing for some clue. No luck yeto I think only some clue re

Thomas himself 9 or some dates from an unfou.nd tombstone will enable us to identify him among the many Thomas Spernsers in Virginia and Kentuckya I If he were buried in Jackson CoiJ.~ty Furnace Cemo 9 there s no hope of finding a tombstone there. The earliest burials were made on or near creek banks, and were washed out by the spring floods. Those which remained were moved to a new cemo across the road and on a hill. No tombstone found there for Thomas or little Lucian. Nor in the nearby Stephenson Cam.in Hamilton Twp., nor in "tnlinchester, Rocky Hill, old Wheelers- burg, or the little graveyard near the Buckley settlement in Frankiln Twp.• all of which have been searched because close relatives of Nancy are buried there. Only remaining possibil~ ities seem to be, I. An early(per-Fairmont Cemetery) gravey_ard in town of Jack son. 2o Vicinity of Fourmile Church or Freedom Church i.n .ft,ranklin Township.

3. Vicinit~ of a totally different 9 2nd "JacksonFurnace" as on the Geological survey map(I9IO-I9II), about ~mile SW of the then limit of the town of Jackson, on a dirt road run~ ning SW, parallel and ~mile wset of the road through Peters burg, to Stockdalee Grandpa., JeJo Spencer, always said he was born at UJackson Furnaces, Jack:son Coe"_ and we~ve always assumed it was the "only Jackson Furnace in Hamilton Twp." This may still prove true 9 but since so mush depends on finding Thomas Spencer's tombstone~ hereqs an interesting possibility for anyone in terested latere Jackson Furnace was supposed to be on the southern edge of Hamilton Twpo,Jackson Coo, though local historians said all its interests faced towards Portsmouth, Wheelersburg and the River, and that it had little effect on Jackson Countye This geological surv~y map 9 rightly or wrongly 9 shows it to be a good ~mile inside the Scioto Co. line, and not in Jackson County at allo Page 25 rTAMES STEPHENSON died fvionroe Coo Va o I802 Chapter III

Grandpa and his mother 9 I believe she must have erected markcz, ers for Thomas & Lucian Spencer 9 which Grandpa quietly main tained during his life, and which we may sometime findo Mro McLean 9 Nancy's 2nd husband 9 had several cho by a prev~ ious marriageo He was a well-to~do farmer & stock raiser 9 had nu.merous other enterpriseso ~e woned the White Bear Hotel in

Note from this copier; This account was given to me by Mr. Gail Price Stevenson,·who lived in.Bellefontaine, Ohio. He is now(I965) deceased. No research has been done on this record, except in the Logan County records, of which Belle fontaine is the county seat. As far as I have gone, the Logan County records agree with the records copied here. The reader is also referred to the Chapter headed; "Thomas Stevenson of London and his Descendants" by John R.(Udderow) Stevenson,A.M.,M.D., published by Hiram Ed mund Deats or Flemington, Hunterdon County, N.J., I902. Printers were Dewey and Eakins, 35 N. 7th St., Philadel phia, Penna. There seems to be some relationship between these two records. Frances Stevenson Main.

CHARLES STEPHENSON~ In tracing back the ancestors of Charles Stephenson, we can only go back to DAVID STEPHENSON, who was born in Kentucky, but removed to Virginia, where, in I805, Charles Stephenson was born. In 1813 they emigrated to Greene County., Ohioe Shortly afterwards, Mr. Stephenson went to Champaign Co.~o., entered a piece of land., bui.lt a cabin on it, started to return to bring his family, when he was taken sick and died before he got home and was buried on his new home in the woods of Champaign. His widow, with hei· 8 children, removed the their new home in the woods. They lived here about I year, then traded for a place in Clark Co.,whwer they lived until all the children grew to maturity. In I829, Charles Stephenson married Miss Rachel Johnstone In I835 they moved to western part of Logan Co.,o., settled on land they had entered there. It was here in the woods, not even a garden spot cleared, with $3GOO in money, he commenced his pioneer life. Compelled to leave home for days work to provide for his family, leaving Monday morning, returning Saturday night, his wife and 4 small children re maining at home, not seeimg another person during her hus~ bands absencew They lived this way about a year~ became dis couraged, sold their place, bought a smaller one with some improvements. Then they began to love, from that time to the present they have always had plenty. They had a family of'

I2 children9 ten of whom grew up and 8 are still living; viz~ Sarah; Joseph; Jane, Rebecca, John; Ann; Mary and David. CHARLES STEPHENSON has been noted as a hunter, having been in woods many nights with his gun. He has killed deer by the hundred and smaller animals without numberj also a few bearse He has hunted every year until the last few years, when he has become sa crippled that he has had to forego the privilege. He says every summer and fall he would work just as hard as he could to get his work out of the way, then take his gun and camping equippage and start for the north= west woods to take his animal hunt, never returning without having killed one deere Mre Stephenson tells of an almost improbable instance that came under his observation, the truthfulness of which is verified by his wife. One day he killed a deer, and broug·ht it home before dressing it. When taking out the entrails, he felt a hard substance in the heart, he examined it and called his wife to show it to her. Upon cutting open the spot in the heart, they found a bullet that had been im~ bedded there at some time previous, and the wound had heal ed over, leaving the bullet remaining in the heart. Page 20.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY WILLIAM STEVENSON .9 above, GRANDSON JA!J.IES STEPE~ ENSON, is so similar to the record of the family of DAVID STEPHENSON and wife MARTHA McCLURE STEPHENSON, that it is most likely that JAMES was the son of DAVID and MARTHA, the 8th child mentioned in all the accounts of the familye David and Martha were married in Greenbrier, James was born there, I799. James went to Clark County to work for an uncle, where Martha's brothers and sisters lived. No other family in Champaign County fits into all the circumstances. James is buried in Taylor Creek Cemetery, with Unity his wife, and Ephriam$ the son who was killed in the Civil War. From history and court and census records, no other family fits all the facts as parents of James Stephenson, b.I799. Page 22

SILAS ,TOHNSON SILAS JOHNSON, father of Walker(sometimes spelled Walter) Johnson, came from Kentucky to Millerstown, Champaign Coe, Ohio) about I803e He was a spy during the nevolutionary War and performed faithful and dangerous service for his ccun= try~ In I805 when the land was surveyed, he found himself on a school section and accordingly, was compelled to move. He then moved into what is now Johnson Township. That he was a prominent man is indicated by the fact that the Town shipj later organized out of that part of the county, was named in his honore He lived in Johnson Township(section I3) from 1805 until I8I8, and then moved into the present Adams Township, located on Section 3I. Here he lived about a year, dying at the age of 60. Quote from Middleton's History of Champaign County; SILAS JOHNSON, the first settler in the township bearing his name, was born in Virginia in I758, later locating in Fayette County, .b.. entucky, came to what is now Johnson Twp., in the spring of· I802., with his 2 sons, James and Charles Johnson. They cleared a site for a cabin and spent the sum= mer clearing a tract of ground surrounding the cabin, the first house in the township. The house was only a crude af fair, of logsj but it was home to Silas Johnson, his wife, Phebe, and their 7 children,Walker and James, Twins~ Char les; Silas Jr.; Rebecca; Elizabeth and Phebe. The family came in January, 1803, but the little cabin was soon too small and they built a large one a few hundred feet below the site of the old one. Here they lived until the land on which they had squatted was surveyed. Then the settlers be~ gan to pour in and when Johnson's land was appraised, a val~ ue of $8 an acre was fixed, which meant that Johnson would have to pay that much in order to keep it. Instead, he moved to a section adjoining on the north. Here he built 2 cabins, 2 feet apart, of logs, I8 by 20 ft. in size. Each had one door and one window without glass. The roof was clapboard, hinges of wood, chimney was made of mud and sticks .. The door was of split pun.;heons, the floor of same quality of timber .. The first dwelling house in the township~ Silas Johnson lived here until I8I8j moving to Adams Twp., where he died the next year. A Veteran of the Revolutionary War, Major War I8I2, in which 3 of his sons joined him. Nearly all of the family lived to age of 80, Rebecca dying on Oct.I,I88o, in her 86th year. Johnson is set down in the local annals as a high-minded man, a Christian man, interested in the civic life of his township, a great worker in getting it organized. Walker Johnson, son of Silas, born Fayette Co., Ky.8-23- I787, came to Adams Twp.I820. Lived here until death,I870. Married Sarah McCroskyo On page 93I, he is "Walter" father of Lydia, who married Joseph Stephenson, who was son of Charles Stephenson, husband of Rachel Johnson. Page 26~
