PUBLISHERS' NOTICE
The editor of "PETER STEPHENS AND SOME OF HIS DE SCENDANTS" did a great amount of research work over a period of 25 years before deciding to compile the information and print it in book form, where it might become available to the Stephenses every where.
Those who do not have time, nor money, to do the research work for themselves will appreciate the value of the information placed at their disposal in this volume. If one can trace a relationship to any one whose name is included in this book he can within a few minutes trace his line back nearly two and one-half centuries. It will open a very interesting subject.
A section of blank record pages is included in the back of the book for the owner to use in recording his own family record. For example, the father or mother can take the index number of his known relative in the book and add to it the letter "A." Thus "347A Mary Stephens," using the alphabet for remaining members of family.
Every young couple starting married life should keep a permanent record of the family marriages, births, deaths, etc., and this book is ex ceedingly appropriate for that purpose because the family starts at once with old and comparatively complete collateral lines of the Ste phenses for nearly two and one-half centuries.
A very limited edition of 500 books has been printed, and there will be no reprints.
Upon receipt of $5.00, a copy will be mailed, postpaid, to any ad dress in the United States or Canada.

HOW TO USE THE BOOK All names are listed in the back of the book in alphabet ical order, and in addition each name is given an Index num ber. These Index numbers are listed numerically throughout the entire text, and therefore serve in lieu of page numbers. A perfect cross index system is established between par ents and children as the individual record of a parent ap pears under an Index number on the left margin of the page. The children are listed directly below followed by their re spective Index numbers. The Index number of each child will be found elsewhere in the book on the left hand margin of the page, in its numerical sequence. To illustrate how the index operates, let us trace the family of the Editor, Dan V. Stephens, beginning with his grandson, Dan M. Harrison. NINTH GENERATION Dan M. Harrison, son of Estella Stephens (652). EIGHTH GENERATION Estella Stephens Harrison (652) daughter of Dan V. Ste phens (562). SEVENTH GENERATION Dan V. Stephens (562) son of Richard Lewis Stephens (484). SIXTH GENERATION Richard Lewis Stephens ( 484) son of John Stephens (450). FIFTH GENERATION John Stephens (450) son of Lewis Stephens (443). FOURTH GENERATION Lewis Stephens ( 443) son of Peter Stephens (8). THIRD GENERATION Peter Stephens (8) son of Lewis Stephens, Sr. (2). SECOND GENERATION Lewis Stephens, Sr. (2) son of Peter Stephens, Sr. (1). FIRST GENERATION Peter Stephens, Sr. (1) the first known of the line in America.

FOREWORD I might as well begin this statement with quotations from famous men, showing the importance of the study of our ancestors in order that we may improve our posterity. Edmund Burke says "People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors," and no less a philosopher than Tacitus himself advises future generations to "think of your ancestors and your posterity." Julius Caesar commends a friend to "look back into your mighty ancestors" and Plutarch assures us that "it is indeed a desirable thing to be well descended but the glory belongs to our ancestors." The names of about 2500 descendants of Peter Stephens together with a record of their line of descent are included in this volume. As a matter of fact there are probably thousands more of them but it is humanly impossible to as semble this information. Furthermore, in the mind of the average person, there is such a universal indifference as to his origin and lack of interest in the history of his own fam ily, beyond the second or third generation, that few people care to trouble themselves to make such an investigation. Some people are glad to forget they have relatives as it is easier to be indifferent to strangers than to those with whom we have blood ties~ Sometimes some relatives become a burden oftener perhaps than they are a comfort. So it nat urally happens, if one doesn't care to keep in touch with his biood relatives he is not apt to cultivate a knowledge of his ancestry. It is much easier now than in a former state of society for the family to scatter. It no longer must protect its rights in society by force. The state does that. In ancient times the prowess of the clan was a factor of vital importance to its peace and safety in a savage world. The leader of the clan was a man of physical power and great courage and he defended his kinfolks with his life against all outsiders. Therefore, the necessity for cultivating large families has passed and families naturally drift apart and become lost to each other. There are some advantages in this situation but the ques tion of clannishness is not involved in the subject of wheth er one should or should not know his lineage. If you ask your nearest acquaintance this question, "Who was your great-grandfather" and if it transpires that he cannot tell you, then, so far as that question is concerned, he has no par ticular advantage over his dog; neither can the dog tell who
1 his great-grandfather was. It is a question merely of one de siring to possess knowledge of his own ancestry. Cultured people are usually interested in the origin of their families but it has never interested enough people to make research profitable to anyone. That is why there are so few family records published. It is also a matter of common knowledge that people in general are indifferent as to the character and quality of the people we breed. We have filled our prisons with criminals and our asylums with insane and feeble-minded. A few learned men have talked about it, explained the causes and recommended remedies, but the great mass of people marry as they please and reproduce their kind without any regard whatever as to the prospective character of the off-spring or its ability to support itself in a competing world. Certainly men and women born into the world with feeble minds, broken bodies or criminal instincts must become dependent. It naturally follows that men and women mating for a life time would not desire to bring children into the world if they knew in advance that these children would be defective. It need not be a matter of humiliation to anyone to be the parent of a defective child for the reason that we are a mongrel race in spite of the fact that some families have a better inheritance than others. The fact remains that every family carries some unfavo•rable inheritance of one kind or another that by chance may afflict its offspring, but they are not to blame for the acts of their ancestors. It would therefore seem that education is the sane solution of this grave condition which seems to be menacing posterity. There are many hidden things about inheritance that we do not understand and much of our information concerning it may be wrong for the reason that it is quite apparent that the human race has gotten along and has gradually evolved in spite of our ignorance and lack of care in our mating. Nevertheless it is well worth while to study these matters carefully, and the pedigree must be the basis for the study. Not the sort of a pedigree that is written in this record of Peter Stephens and his descendants, but one that will car ry an individual record of each member of the family so as to show the effect of inheritance that each family passes along to the next generation. I do not pretend to qualify as an expert on this subject but it would seem to a casual ob server that a little care in mating would save a vast amount of grief in the world. For example, a school teacher called on me a few days ago and solicited my support for a twelve year-old boy whose father was in the asylum, whose mother
2 had died of tuberculosis and whose two sisters were deaf and dumb. In a family of five he is the only normal, physically and mentally sound person. When specific cases are mentioned it is a delicate subject but when the question is broadened to cover the whole of humanity there need be nothing of which to be ashamed. In the last analysis every person is touching hands with thous ands of men and women dead and gone whose inheritance he carries. In greater or less degree there is a constant threat hanging over every family. No matter how well bred a family may be, so far as surface indications are concerned, somewhere along the line a double dose of a factor of weak ness will crop out in a child and become the shame and hu miliation of the parents, which is unnecessary if understood. A study of Gregor Mendel's Law of Inheritance is a lib eral education in itself. E,very man and woman, who proposes to bring a family into the world, should study Mendel's Law, not with a narrow, contracted view but with a broad, liberal view that will enable them to put a proper construction on the possibility of their children inheriting factors that would be a great handicap to them through life. We receive 50% of our inheritance from our parents. The other 50% is dis tributed through the generations backward in a diminishing ratio. Therefore the dominant factors rest with father and mother and their parents. If their inheritance is bad, the offspring is bound to be bad, because generally speaking the factors that are alike on both sides of the family in parents and grandparents are sure to become dominant factors in some of the children. The operation of Mendel's Law of In heritance is demonstrated in the human, animal and vegeta ble kingdoms and one only needs to keep his eyes open, after a preliminary study of Mendel's Law, to become an absolute convert to the impressive lessons that are constantly being demonstrated. Dr. Edward Stephens Clarke of Alameda, California, made the original research into the family history of Peter Stephens and his descendants and published a small volume in San Francisco in 1892. To him we are deeply indebted for the greater portion of the record of early Virginia families. We have verified and reproduced some of these collateral lines of Peter's (1) descendants and have found them in the main accurate. Where errors have appeared here and there we have corrected them when possible. In recognition of the splendid work done by Dr. Clarke we are reproducing his photograph in this volume together with his biography. His book has been out of print for many years and a large
3 premium is paid for volumes that are obtainable. It is ap parent from the title of Dr. Clarke's "Peter Stephens Gene alogy" that he contemplated continuing the publication to cover many branches of the family. It is also very apparent that the Doctor found that his ambitious undertaking was beyond his strength and possibly his means as it requires hundreds of investigators throughout the country and a very great capital investment to produce such a series of publica tions. At best it is a rather thankless job. The most interesting thing about such a study is the rec ord of men and women which is found in fragments here and there throughout the official history of the country. If one has a vivid imagination and cares to follow out logical con clusions, that the records justify, the interpretation of these records reveal among other things romance, drama and trag edy. These stories are found in the deeds, wills and court ac tions as well as the transfers and sale of property. In the case of Peter Stephens it includes the period of settlement and development of the country from east to west. These records cast their shadows and are merely snapshots of the generations whose performances are dimmed. These records require a friendly and sympathetic interpretation. From the birth of Peter Stephens in 1690 to the year of our Lord 1936 covers a span of 246 years, which is, practical ly speaking, ten or twelve generations of Stephenses, as well as the greater portion of the period of development and set tlement of America. There are not many continuous family records of this period in print. In 1732 when Peter Stephens arrived in the Shenandoah Valley with Jost Rite's colony of 16 families there were no settlements except along the seaboard. That was the year in which George Washington was born. This little colony of sixteen families comprised the first white men to settle west of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. They opened up the second frontier of America. Practically speaking, every thing of great importance has happened in America since 1732. During the next two centuries the Stephenses migrated up the Shenandoah Valley to the southwest, crossed into the Holstein, Clinch and Powell River valleys through the Cum berland Gap into Tennessee and Kentucky. From there they spread on westward into every state and territory including all of the southern states and the northern states west of the Cumberland Gap. In fact, we might include the entire United States for a few of the families remained north and east in their original settlements. The original stock, whether it
4 was Holland Dutch, German or English, mingled its blood with all of the other nationalities of northern Europe that constituted the early settlers of this country. The story of 246 years of family history back to 1690 in Philadelphia is a fascinating one. It includes a great migra tion of millions of men and women in their westward course building an empire on their way. In their wake followed schools, churches, organized territories, steamboats, rail roads, and finally states. It is the most remarkable period in the history of the growth of civilization in any part of the world. Why shouldn't one become fascinated with the study of such an era, especially when here and there along the long trails and throughout nearly two and one-half centuries he can find meager facts about his own immediate families who trekked with the "Star of Empire" on its westward way? For example, Lewis Stephens (443) started westward somewhere about 1790 from the nesting place in Stephens burg, Virginia, settled by his progenitors, stopping for a period in southwestern Virginia, for another period in Ten nessee and another in Kentucky, finally arriving at the end of his trek in 1818 in Monroe County, Indiana, the year the county was organized and shortly after the south ern third of the state had been opened for settlement. Chicago had not yet been dreamed of. There were no rail roads, no steamboats and hardly any organized government in that vast region. He had been twenty-eight years on the road, stopping here and there for a breathing- spell while he regained lost resources and gathered courage to go on. No · doubt it was old age creeping on that caused him finally to settle down. In this migration he had crossed six or seven mountain ranges, forded hundreds, if not thousands, of bridgeless streams, followed Indian trails and many times made his own roads, but finally somehow he got through and during the journey he raised a family of eight children and had lived a third of his life on the trail. He has been dead 101 years. Men form their standards of value by the nature of the environment in which they live. For example, Lewis passed over the beautiful cane fields, the great meadows of Ken tucky (now the Blue Grass region) with apparent indiffer ence as to their value. He crossed without notice the rich river bottoms and smaller valleys containing valuable agri cultural land. Finally he reached Monroe County, Indiana, a rough and heavily timbered country where the land was of little agricultural value. There he settled down and built his house and his numerous descendants spread out over Monroe
5 and Brown Counties furnishing the nucleus of the first set tlements in that region. One cannot escape the question of what might have been had Lewis stopped in the Ohio River Valley or in the great meadows of Kentucky or in a hundred other valleys that he crossed on his way to the sandstone region in Monroe and Brown Counties. His act has influenced the lives of thousands of his descendants who have chosen to remain in that beautiful country where they have had to struggle with poverty because of the sandstone hills that de fied all of their efforts. The scenic beauty of the hills of Brown County and eastern Monroe County has attracted ar tists who have established colonies in log houses in the lo cality where the first settlers built their cabins 118 years ago. They have painted beautiful pictures of the scenery with the marvelous coloring of the foliage, where old Lewis Stephens planted his cabin and lived and died in obscurity. He was so modest it took a casual search of twenty years to figure out his trail across half of the continent. It was just as interesting as any mystery that Sherlock Holmes ever solved. Two of his children were born in Virginia, three of them in Tennessee and three in Kentucky. We find in other records that his daughter, Katharine, was married in Johnson County, Tennessee to Solomon Butcher about 1816, and his daughter, Polly, in Cumberland County, Ten nessee to Jacob Moser. The same record shows that the lat ter daughter gave birth in 1817 to Calvin Moser, the first white child born in that county. We find these two families moving in 1819 to Brown and Monroe Counties, Indiana, no doubt following in the footsteps of old Lewis (443). When they are your own people you become deeply in terested in these snapshots of a day and time so far removed from the present. Sometimes these records are exceedingly meager but very eloquent and sometimes pathetic in the stories they convey. Lewis' father, Peter, back in the Shenandoah Valley, was the son of Lewis (2), the son of Peter (1), the emigrant. We find by casual reading of the records that this Peter, the father of old Lewis of Indiana, married Barbara Wilson in 1765 in Frederick County, Virginia. His simple story was left through the records of Frederick County at Winchester, the county seat. This young couple was given some land as a wedding present by the wife's father. They were also given some land as a wedding present by Peter's father. Soon af ter these gifts, however, the record shows that this little family had apparently embarked on a stormy sea for they began to deed away their land, piece by piece, until 1777
6 their last deed of record was made. In 1792 we find Lewis (2), the father of Peter (8), applying to the courts to be appointed an Administrator to settle the son's estate. We may deduce from the record that Peter was never well and died about 1778 when he was about thirty-eight years of age or was one of the casualties of the Revolutionary War. Whatever happened to him to cut short his life, the record does not show. Barbara apparently was then lost to history also. In 1783 we find that their son Lewis ( 443) became an orphan at seventeen years of age being apprenticed to Fred erick Conrad, a rich man of great prominence in Winchester. The court required Mr. Conrad to teach the boy the trade of "courier and readin' and ritin'." These facts afford many op portunities for speculation as to what happened to Lewis; what he did in the few years intervening before we again connect up with his trail. At any rate, he evidently married and in the course of human events started on his great trek across the mountains to the west. It was a tremendous un dertaking. He didn't have time to write his history in books, assuming he could write. We can readily picture him at cru cial moments fording a turbulent river with his frail outfit. We can picture him in camps in a hostile country inhabited by savages and wild beasts. We can fancy times when his family was hungry and half clothed. No doubt there were many dramatic incidents and tragic events. There were sev eral gaps between the births of the children in his family where there might have been other children that did not sur vive the hardships of the "Wilderness Road." But whatever may be said about his journey and about his character he must have been quite a man, because his accomplishments in adventure and hardship are not exceeded by many pioneer families. During his long life he probably was never outside of the shadows of the wilderness from the day he was born until the day he died. Then there is the adventure of Andrew Jackson Stephens (118) and many others we could recount, but for some rea son I am more impressed with Andrew Jackson Stephens than with many of the others because he seemed to be a most remarkable character. After teaching school in Missouri for a few years he joined his cousin, Lawrence D. Stephens, who was only seventeen years old, and another boy. They started on the long journey to the California gold fields with a yoke of cattle and a wagon. Andrew Jackson Stephens must have been the oldest of the party as he was twenty-five. This lit tle party probably joined groups of travelers at Westport (now Kansas City) and undoubtedly followed the Oregon Trail through Nebraska, Laramie, Wyoming and to Green
7 River where they branched off to California. Andrew didn't stay in California very long but leaving his cousins there came back alone to Missouri in 1858. He then gathered up a band of sheep and drove them to Texas. Anyone with a knowledge of the history of the southwest in 1858 can readi ly visualize the problem that confronted Andrew Jackson Stephens in driving a band of sheep through a wilderness in habited by savages and cutthroat renegade whites. Yet, we assume that he got to Texas with the sheep and in the course of a few years we find him back in Missouri just in time to come in contact with Price's Army engaged in the Civil War. He joined the army and participated in the battle of Wilson Creek. Then he went back to his home, married an Arkansas girl and enlisted in a Missouri regiment in the confederate army for the duration of the war. When the war was over he went to Texas to live out his life. His exploits were re markable indeed but probably did not receive comment in the local paper. Another character quite the opposite of Andrew Jackson Stephens was Daniel Boone, who settled Kentucky. He blaz ed the trail that was called "Boone's Trace" from Virginia to Kentucky. It was afterwards known as the "Wilderness Road."· He went to Kentucky with his brother, Squire Boone, and after they spotted the place in Kentucky where they wanted to settle, Squire Boone went back to North Carolina to bring other settlers. In the course of three or four months the Squire afoot and alone had made the trip to North Car olina and back to Kentucky bringing settlers, safe and sound, without mishap enroute. He had traveled 500 or 600 miles of mountain trails each way through a savage country. His performances have only recently been disclosed by those who have sought the history of these remarkable frontiers men and told about them in readable form. Daniel Boone wrote his own history with the result that he has become famous in the minds of every American school boy and is among the immortals, but this Squire Boone performed prob ably greater feats than did his brother Daniel. He preached the first sermon in Kentucky. He performed the marriages of all the wilderness couples that were within his reach as there were no churches and no established law. Consequent ly there was a lot of argument as to whether the Squire's ceremonies were really legal. Later on he settled in Harri son County, Indiana and it is a matter of very great interest to the Stephenses to find him in Harrison County performing marriages for descendants of old Peter Stephens from Fred erick County, Virginia. One of Mary Stephens' grandsons from Frederick County, Virginia, married Sophiah Boone, a
8 descendant no doubt of Squire Boone who should have be come famous in his own right immediately fallowing the settlement of Kentucky. This story merely illustrates how interesting just ordinary lives are and how far out family ties extend. Sometimes they will cover half of the continent and tens of thousands of people are linked together by blood. Then there is the story of Jost Rite's lawsuit that made John Marshall famous. John Marshall was one of the early Chief Justices of the United States, but when Jost Hite em ployed him in this lawsuit to quiet the title to Rite's land, and that of other neighbors, he was a country lawyer in Richmond and was practically unknown outside the colony. Jost Hite had acquired his 80,000 acres of land upon which the first colony was settled west of the Blue Ridge Moun tains from the Van Meters. It was generally then supposed that the western boundary of Fairfax's grant from the crown, known as "Northern Neck," was the Blue Ridge Mountains but as a matter of fact it transpired that the western boundary of the Northern Neck grant was a straight line drawn between the headwaters of the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers. This slight detail in the description of the boundary was overlooked as the headwaters of the Rap pahannock and Potomac Rivers extended through a gap through the Blue Ridge Mountains into the highlands beyond a part of the Van Meter grant. Therefore a great deal of Rite's land came from Lord Fairfax. Inasmuch as the law suit was tried some fifty-odd years after the settlement was made in 1732 and following the conclusion of the Revolu tionary War conditions had entirely changed. This resulted in the question of whether or not title to the land deeded to settlers by Fairfax was also void. John Marshall argued con clusively and soundly that if Lord Fairfax's deeds to the set tlers were not good, then it would necessarily follow that the deeds to settlers from all land grant proprietors would fall, and it did not require a very brilliant man to see to what that would lead. The result was that the famous argu ment of John Marshall won this lawsuit and settled the titles not only to this particular tract but to all other tracts to which deeds had been given by landed proprietors. The in teresting feature about this claim of Jost Rite's was that it involved the land also held by Peter Stephens and probably all of the Stephenses in the Valley. The fee book of John Marshall showed that he received something like 100 English L for his services and that Jost Hite and George Washington were among those who contributed to the fees. Lord Fair fax's frontier establishment was located only six miles east of Stephensburg. Pictures of his smokehouse, his land office
9 and chapel are shown in this volume. (See "Life of John Marshall, Vol. I" by Beveridge.) There are many of Peter Stephens' descendants whose records have become a part of the history of their respective states and of the nation. Some have been Governors of states, some Judges, some Members of Congress, some Soldiers in all of the armies in all of our wars, some Artists, Engineers, Writers, Manufacturers, Railroad Builders, Doctors, Lawyers, Preachers, Teachers, Farmers and Tradesmen, etc. In fact, like the members of every other large American family they have fitted into our civilization and played their more or less important parts. We make no boasts of their successes nor apologies for their shortcomings or failures. They paid the price, whatever it was, and reaped their rewards and punish ments. The only thing that we are certain of is that most of them are dead and their dust is mingled with the soil of the country they helped to settle. I "take off my hat" to the rank and file of the family who ran their course without a flag-bearer or a band and kept the faith when the going was heavy and it didn't seem like anything was worthwhile. I have read their brief and courageous records made under the stress of circumstances until they seem to live again and march by in a silent procession. Delusion though it may be, the least among them became a torch bearer. It has been a pleasure to recount their record and to pay tribute to them. To my co-worker and Virginia cousin back among the beautiful hills at Roanoke whom I have never had the pleas ure of meeting, James Mills Stephens, I owe my thanks and appreciation for his excellent and praiseworthy service in assisting in the preparation of the copy for this volume. I also give my thanks to Philip M. Smith and others who have assisted me in assembling the record.

INTRODUCTION The first minute particulars that I have found of the Peter Stephens family-from which the various lines traced in this volume have sprung-are in the Court Records of Or ange and Frederick Counties, Virginia. Supplemented by the meager information thus far located in published histories and historical magazines, the picture of the family after 1734 is fairly complete. However, preceding its appearance in the lower Shenandoah Valley, little is known of the family and, so far as I know, no particulars have been authenticated. There was a Peter Stephens living near Kingston, Rock land County, New York in 1711. About 1717, there were Ste phenses living in New Jersey (and the Court Records of Frederick County, Virginia, show that Lewis Stephens, Sr. had some close friends in Salem County, New Jersey). In 1728, there were Stephenses living near Germantown, Penn sylvania (and according to tradition, Peter Stephens is sup posed to have married Maria Christina Rittenhouse at Phila delphia or Germantown about 1730). Since this is substan tially the same route followed by Jost Hite, the man most responsible for the rapid settlement and development of the Shenandoah Valley, and since Peter Stephens was so closely identified with Hite after 1732, it may be supposed, until fur~ ther documentary evidence is found, that Peter Stephens either came to America with Hite or became acquainted with him very soon after both had entered the new country. Of Jost Hite much has been written. His dissatisfaction with the governmental regime in Pennsylvania and his fore sight in realizing the existing demand for cheap, new land are recounted in all histories dealing with the lower Shenan doah Valley. Decisive action seemed to characterize his whole life. The discovery that his own grant of land obtained from the Virginia Governor and Council did not include those tracts desired by the families he had induced to come with him to the Valley (only by settling a requisite number of families would his own grant become secure) caused but a slight delay. In order to push forward his project he bought these grants from the holders, John and Isaac Van Meter, who had obtained them in 1730. Through his first wife Jost Hite is thought to have been connected with the Van Meter family. John Van Meter, a native of Holland, on arriving in America, settled near Kingston, New York, prior to 1700. 1

11 He was an Indian trader and moved about through New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.. On a visit to the Val ley of Virginia with a company of Delaware Indians, about 1725, he was evidently so impressed with the beauty and fer tility of the country that he advised his two sons, John and Isaac, to secure land on the South Branch of the Potomac.2 In petitioning for a grant, John Van Meter stated that he desired to take up land lying west of the Great Mountains for settlement of himself and eleven children, also other re lations and friends living in the Government of New York, if a sufficient quantity of land could be assigned for that purpose. Among the grants obtained by the Van Meter family, in Virginia, was one for 40,000 acres between Winchester and Cedar Creek, in Frederick County, that, within a year, was purchased by Jost Hite, 3 when upon his arrival in the Valley he found that some of the tracts desired by his colonists were within the grant of another. Having proved that he had settled more than the requir ed number of families by June 12, 1734, Rite's grant was con firmed August 20, 1734 and the patent was made to him. Fol lowing the customary procedure, he assigned the surveys of the various tracts settled upon to the purchasers and the grants were issued direct to those who purchased of him. With plenty of cheap, new land available, Hite redoubled his efforts to attract purchasers to his grants. Had it not been for his early conflict with Lord Fairfax (the latter claimed the land within Rite's early patents to be within his boundary) doubtless he would have amassed the large for tune to which his activity and large initial capital would have entitled him. Rite's industry may have been due to his Dutch ancestry. He is said to have been born in Strasburg, Alsace, Germany, but since his name is recorded as Jost Van Heydt, it would indicate that he may have been Dutch. He always signed his names in German, though he did not always spell it the same.4 He has been frequently referred to as "The Old German Bar on."5 This, however, may have been an hono,rary title due to his great wealth. It is said that he came to America in his own ships, "bringing his gold in huge sacks." In 1710 he is found located in Kingston, New York, where his daughter

12 Elizabeth was baptized November 4, 1711 (probably the first Hite born in America).6 In 1717 we find him located on a large tract of land above Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Germantown was laid out by Francis Daniel Pastorious, in 1683, 7 and in 1732 he arrives in the Valley of the Shenandoah, Virginia, bringing with him his five sons, his three daugh ters, their husbands and Peter Stephens, Robert McKay, Wil liam Green, Robert Duff and others to take up and settle the grant of land which he (Hite) had obtained from the Van Meters. Thus we find that Peter Stephens, Sr. was one of the few persons definitely named by historians as coming to the Shenandoah Valley with the original Hite party. There has been some uncertainty about the nationality of Peter Stephens, Sr. and his family. The name which is purely English would suggest that nationality, but an exam ination of the histories of the Shenandoah Valley and the Court records of Frederick County, Virginia, will show that Peter must have been Dutch or German. In the Frederick County records we find the signature of Peter Stephens, Sr. which is written in German, and in item 58 we have his son Lawrence making the statement in his naturalization papers that he (Lawrence) was a German Protestant, and in item 61 we have Lewis Stephens, the eldest son, making the proper translation of the will of George Thrasher, which was writ ten in Dutch. There is a family tradition that Peter Stephens, Sr. had a previous marriage to the one with Maria Christina Ritten house. There is usually some basis for these traditions until 6 Shendo. Valley Pioneers - Cartmell - (Kingston New York records) 7 Thirty Thousand Names - Rupp. 8 AU court records hereafter given will be referred to by item number. 13 that Lawrence was made overseer of roads in 1747, and con stable in 1749, items 4 and 6, which would indicate that he was more than twenty-one years of age on these dates. The ages of the daughters are not known but they could fit in very well in the spread of ten years, 1713 to 1723. Then we find in the Rev. John Casper Stoever's records that the fourth son of Peter Stephens, Sr. was born on April 8, 1734, instead of 1740 as recorded by Dr. Clark. Therefore, the third son, Peter Stephens, Jr. who buys land of his father, item 27, and his brother, Lewis, item 28, in 1753 must have been born in 1732 or earlier instead of 1735 as recorded by Dr. Clark. I am, therefore, fixing the dates of birth of the children of Peter Stephens, Sr. as is indicated by the Court records, and in so doing we have the eldest son born in 1713, the second, ten years later, and in another ten years the third is born follow ed in two years by the fourth. This, it seems to me, would support the tradition that there was a second marriage, the second one taking p1ace about 1730, a year or so before Peter Stephens, Sr. came from Pennsylvania to the Valley of Vir ginia, and while he was living near Germantown, Pennsyl vania. Thus the two sons, Lewis and Lawrence, and probably the daughters, born of the first marriage and Peter, Jr. and Henry born of the second. Tradition has it that the first wife of Peter Stephens, Sr. was a Miss Lewis; that Lewis, Sr. was named for his mother's people. In the will of Lewis Stephens, Sr. we find that he men tions only two of his children, Lewis, Jr., and Mary Emmitt. In item 36 he says that Lewis, Jr. was his second son, while in item 32 he says that Peter was his eldest lawful son. Thus we have the names of his three children. Dr. J. W. Wayland in "A History of Shenandoah County, Virginia," page 683, says that Lewis Stephens, Sr. married Mary Bowman, a daughter of George Bowman and Amma Maria Hite. The records show that her name was Mary, but it has not been established whose daughter she was. Mary Bowman married Lawrence Stephens, the proof of which I give below. Lawrence Stephens, the second son of Peter Stephens, Sr., was married twice, but we have been unable, thus far, to find any record of who his first wife was. The proof of his second marriage is found in a study of his will, probated 1776, WB. 4 p 338; the will of Mary, his wife, probated 1820, item 66; the will of his son George William, probated 1789, item 65, and the will of George Bowman, probated 1768, item 64. Peter Stephens, Jr., the third son of Peter Stephens, Sr., 14 married Mary Chrisman, a daughter of Jacob Chrisman (see WB. 4 p 202) item 63, and went with his brother-in-law, Ab raham Chrisman, and others to Montgomery County, Vir ginia, about 1767. The records show him to be in Frederick County, Virginia, in 1766, but not later. Dr. Edward Stephens Clark, in his Peter Stephens Genealogy, says that Peter Ste phens, Jr. married Joanna Chrisman. There is nothing in the Court records that will support Dr. Clark in his record. The deeds made by Peter Stephens, Jr. in Frederick and Mont gomery Counties show that his wife was named Mary. I have before me a portion of a copy of a letter written, about 1891, to Dr. Edward Stephens Clark by William H. H. Stephens, of Missouri, (a grandson of Joseph (23) and a great grandson of Peter Stephens, Jr. and Mary Chrisman) which says that his grandfather Joseph was a brother o.f Dr. James Stephens; that Dr. James married an Early. The facts are; Dr. James a son of Lawrence Stephens (20) was not a broth er but a nephew of Joseph's and was never married. The mother of Dr. James was Joanna (Herbert) Stephens, while the mother of Joseph was Mary (Chrisman) Stephens. Dr. James did have a brother Joseph (93), but he was not the grandfather of William H. H. (292) who was evidently con fused and furnished Dr. Clark with incorrect information. Henry Stephens, the fourth son of Peter Stephens, Sr., died without a will and a search of the records have Droduc ed the names of only two of his children; Henry, Jr. and Gab riel. Dr. Clark, in his genealogy, says that Lewis Stephens, who married Catherine Brinker, was a son of Lewis Stephens, Jr. If this is a fact, then it is strange that he should have been left out of his mother's will entirely. The records do not show that Lewis Stephens, Jr. had any children. There fore, since the wills of Lewis, Sr., and Lawrence give the names of their children, and as Peter, Jr. took all his family with him to Montgomery County in 1767, it leaves only one place to put Lewis, the husband of Catherine, that is as the youngest son of Henry Stephens. Sr. The wife of Henry Stephens, Sr., was named Elizabeth, and after the death of Henry, she married a Reed. There is no record of her that would show the names of Henry's children. It seems quite likely that the Elizabeth Stephens who married Andrew Pitman, was a daughter of Henry's and the namesake of Elizabeth, his wife. In the ten days I spent in and around Winchester, Vir ginia, I was able to gather much valuable information, not heretofore had, concerning the Stephens family and that 15 others may have the benefit of my research, I am recording below all that is worthwhile. I tried to locate, if possible, the burying places of Old Peter and his sons. I visited the Opequon Cemetery, which is located on the battlefield where the battle of Kernstown was fought, and found some very old graves, but none for Stephenses. The "Old Methodist Cemetery" located at Ste phens City, does not have any markers for any Stephenses, though Lewis Emmitt, a grandson of Lewis Stephens, Sr. is buried there. It is thought by many who live in the neighbor hood, that Lewis Stephens, Sr. and Lewis, Jr., and their wives are buried there, but no actual proof is had. In the Old Ger man Reform (Stephens) Cemetery9 located at the south end of Stephens City, is to be found the graves of Bryan Martin Stephens, his wife Emma and their son Dr. John R. Stephens; the graves of Mary Ann Stephens, G. M. B. Stephens and Lew~ is Stephens and his wife Catherine (Brinker) Stephens. There are a great many graves marked with a small stone or a piece of slate, and I feel sure that these rocks mark the last resting place of Peter Stephens, Sr. and many of his descendants. I was unable to find any place that might have been the pri vate burying ground of these old Pioneers. In the office of Messrs. Julian W. Baker and Richard E. Griffith, of Winchester, Virginia, is a file on all the old graves of Frederick and adjoining counties, but it does not give more information on the Stephenses than is recorded above. From a study of the court records of Frederick County, we find only one Peter Stephens mentioned until 1753, when Peter, Jr., his son, shows up in the deeds, and only one Lewis until 1773, when Lewis, Jr. shows up. Peter Stephens, Sr. died in 1757 and Peter, Jr. disappears from the records in 1766, in" dicating that he moved elsewhere. We find Peter Stephens, the son of Lewis, Sr. making a few deeds between 1766 and 1777, then he is not found any more. There are four Lewises mentioned in the records between 1783 and 1805. These are: Lewis, Sr. and Lewis, Jr., Lewis, the husband of Catherine Brinker, and Lewis, the son of Peter and Barbara and the grandson of Lewis, Sr. Lewis Stephens, Sr. is the same who is referred to by historians and in the records as Esq., Miller, Gent. Captain and Major. In most of the deeds for town lots, made by Lewis, Sr. and Mary, his wife, it says that the land is part of a greater tract of land patented to Peter Stephens and by him convey ed to Lewis. I was unable to find a deed in which the name of Peter 16 Stephens' wife was given, though the deed would read "Peter Stephens and ---·-···------·----····--• ➔ his wife." For assistance in the preparation of this data, I am in debted to Miss Mildred Lee Grove, of Stephens City, Virginia. Her timely suggestions have been invaluable. JAMES M.

He had six or eight children; one son, Bryan Martin, moved to Tenn.; another, George B., to Charlottesville, Va. Before removal Bryan occupied his father's home place,-the brick house on the east side of town destroyed by the Federal troops. (Now Geo. Cadwallader's.) Last surviving member, Mrs. Mary Brison, died here some years ago, upwards of 90 years old. p. 8. Lord Fairfax's country seat "Greenway Court Manor" is 6 or 7 miles east of Stephens City. p. 11. From diary of Rev. Philip B. Fithian, a Presbyterian min ister who visited Stephensburg: "From this town may be seen six coun ties, Hampshire, Dunmore, Culpepper, Fauquies, Loudoun and Freder ick." (May 31, 1775.) June 6.-"The drum beats and the inhabitants of this village muster each morning at 5 o'clock ..• Every man has a hunting shirt, which is the uniform of each company. Almost all have a cockade and bull-tail in their hats to represent that they are hardy, resolute and invincible natives of the woods of America." p. 12. "I visited Major Stephens, the proprietor of this town. He and his wife both urged me by many arguments to agree to stay." p. 14. The town was called Newtown after 1800 but changed to Stephens City in 1880. p. 15. Newtown for more than 50 years became prominent in the building and fitting out of immense wagons capable of sustaining 4500- 5000 pounds of freight. They cost $100-$200. The horses, six to a wag on, were of the heaviest and best at that day, costing 75-125 each. These served the large wagon trade from Baltimore to Knoxville, Tenn. Railroads put an end to this trade. (Quoted from article by Maj. J. M. McCue in "The Industrial South" published about 1880.) p. 16.

He was a man of great wealth and ca.me in his own ships, bringing with him his gold in hiuge sacks. "Herrmann Schmicht's valuable works on the German settlers of New York and the Jerseys, gives 'Heighte' prominent mention, though not as one of the earliest Dutch emigrants who colonized a large sec tion of that section of America." He settled with his company of emigrants on the Hudson River. The Court records at Kingston, New York, show that he was residing at Kingston, on the Hudson, in 1710. His name appears subquently in the files of the Court of Old Salem, New York, and also in New Jersey. In 1717 he is found living on a large tract of land above Phila delphia, where Germantown was laid out in 1683 by Frantz Daniel Pastorius (a man, history says, of lofty character and classical edu cation). After some time the Indians began so ruthlessly murdering the settlers of Colebrook Valley, and destroying their property, they peti tioned Governor Gordon for protection. Their petition being ignored and the atrocities becoming much more frequent, Hite, one of the signers of the petition, became disgusted with the protection offered them against the Indians and religious intolerance on the part of the English, left York, Pennsylvania,* and with many others re-emigrated to the wilds of the Valley of the Shenandoah in Virginia. He accordingly, in 1731, bought the Vanmeter grant of 40,000 acres. This grant had been obtained from Governor Gooch in 1730 by John and Isaac Vanmeter. "In the year 1732 Jost Hdte with his three sons-in-law, George Bowman, Paul Froman, and Jacob Chrisman; Peter Stephan, Robert McKay, Robert Duff and others,"** sixteen fam ilies in all, cut their way through the forests to the Valley. They crossed the Potomac River about two miles up the river from Harp er's Ferry, and made their way along the Valley t'ill they reached Opequon Creek; here Hite located his eldest son, John. To Jost Hite, therefore, belongs the honor of having planted the first Standard of Civilization in the mountain region of Virginia. PETER STEPHENS pushed on about two miles further south, and built the first house in what is now Stephens City. This house (a log one) stood on the west side of the road about fifty yards or more north of Stephens Run, and could still be seen about 1850, but all traces of it are now obliterated. Lewis Stephens, the eldes.t son of Peter, built, in 1756, a stone house, the ruins of which may still be seen at the old Iron Works of General Zane. There is an old stone house standing at the southern end of Stephens City that was evidently erect ed about this time, but when and by whom is not known. It, also, may have been erected by Stephens. In 1755, Peter Stephens conveyed by deeds bearing dates of May 2d and 3d, 424 acres of land to Lewis Stephens, being part of a greater tract of 674 acres granted by patent to Peter Stephens, the 3d day of October, 1734. *German Element in Virginia-Herrman Schuricht--Page 85. **German Element in Virginia-Herrman Schuricht--Page 85. 53 STEPHENSBURG CHARTERED 1'758 In 1758, Lewis Stephens, Sr., laid out the town of Stephensburg in form, and applied to the General Assembly to have it established by law, which was accordingly done. For many years Stephensburg also bore the name of Newtown. In writing documents or directing letters both names were used or N. T. Stephensburg, so in April 1880 the town was named Stephens City and has since been known by this name. The petition to the House of Burgesses September 21, 1758: "A petition of fundry Inhabitants of the County of Frederick, setting forth, That they are at prefent by living at a d:iftance from one another un able to defend themfelves from the fudden Attacks of the Enemy, to obviate which Inconvenience as much as possible, they are defirous of Collecting themselves into a Body and fettling in a Town, and praying that an Act May Pafs for eftablifhing a Town on the Land of Lewis Stephens, of the faid County, who hath already laid off a Confiderable Quantity for that Purpofe, was prefented to the Houfe and read." (see Journal for the House of Burgesses of Virginia 1758-61). An Act of .Assembly (from Cartmell's History of Shenandoah Valley Pioneers). "An Act fol' erecting a town on the land of Lewis Stephens in the County of Frederick; for enlarging the town of Winchester, and for erecting a town on the land of Nicholas Minor in Loudon County. 1.

Lewis Stephens dedicated a certain lot or square located within the corporate limits to the said town for public purposes.

Spring dale Was Built By Jost Hite, in 1753, and Is Thought the Oldest Mansion Still Occupied. Dotted over Frederick county are historic old homes, many hand some ones in the number, which date as far back as the days of the pioneer Valley settlers, the Van Meters and Jost Hite and his band. Many of these old homes have long ago crumbled and been lost sight of. On the other hand there are others which have been well cared for, either remaining in the family which first built them, or having passed into other hands. "Belle Grove" Perhaps the best known place, both locally and in distant points, is historic "Belle Grove," located two miles southwest of Middletown, just west of the Valley Pike. The location commands a perfect view of mountain scenery fringing the border of the lower Valley, "Belle Grove" was designed by Isaac Hite, Jr., and his beautiful young bride, Nelly Conway Madison, sister of President James Madi son. Several years were required in the building of this large and handsome mansion, which was completed in 1793. It took its name from the wording of invitations sent out to hundreds of guests far and near, for them to visit the "belle in the grove." The original mansion was built of pure limestone. and was 40 feet by 160 feet in dimensions. It had porticoes with pillars of such size as to excite wonder over their origin. The furniture was of solid ma hogany, inlaid with satin wood imported from England. Solid mahog any dining tables, capable of accommodating sixty guests, graced the dining room. ••side-boards" and sofas heavy with hand carving in ex quisite style and figure and rare oil paintings all combined to make "Belle Grove" unquestionably the most lavish and handsomest mansion anywhere in this part of Virginia in those early days. Hite died in 1836, and the furnishings were distributed among those relatives who cared for them. S. W. Honeywell, of Wellesley, Mass., who bought the property several years ago, extensively repaired and remodeled it. He lives there during the summer. Historic "Springdale" A historic old home which has never received the blare of public ity heaped upon "Belle Grove," but which ante-dates that fine old man sion by a half century is "Springdale," located at Bartonville. "Springdale" is unquestionably the oldest home in this part of Vir the present mansion is thought to have been built about the same time ginia to be still standing and in constant use throughout all the inter vening years. This handsome old home was built by Jost Hite in 1753. The year with the founder's initials appears carved in a stone near cone of the roof on the south side of the house. A large beam of timber, still well preserved, which was taken from the old barn, and which is now plac ed over the front doorway of the home, reads: "Jost Hite, 1747." 55 Fort Built First Thus, it is seen that the barn on that site was built six years be fore the present mansion. An old fort, located several yards south of the barn built probably several years earlier, as a requirement in granting patents of land to settlers in those days that the patentee should first erect a fort as a protection against the Indians, and a grist mill. The present Bartonville stone mill, owned by J. R. S. Stover, was built by Jost Hite, as were several other small buildings on the property, including a spring house and smoke house, all of stone. The old fort is practically fallen down now. It was a large build ing, with huge chimney in the middle, a spring inside the building and a stockade built around the fort proper. "Springdale" is built of native limestone and has been enlarged since Jost Hite first built there. The property is now owned by Mrs. Robert Arbuckle. She was married twice, her first husband being the late Harry Hack. Before marriage she was Miss Betty Van Meter, and she traces her ancestors back to the Isaac and John Van Meters, first settlers in the Valley. "Long Meadows" "Long Meadows," located on Opequon Creek, not far distant from the village of Opequon, containing originally some of the most fertile land on the Opequon, was settled by Samuel and Mary Gamble Glass, the emigrants, from Ban Bridge, County Down, Ireland, who reached this country in 1736, and took up a patent of 920 acres secured from Jost Hite. The first Glass settlers and many of their descendants lie buried in the old Opequon grave yard at Kernstown. The property is now owned by Mary Louise Simmons, of Cherry dale, Va., a direct lin eal descendant of the original Glass family. "Carter Hall," located west of Stephens City, was erected by the late William A. Carter, in 1833. The original tract contained 1,300 acres. The property is now in the B. M. Carter estate. Another historic old place in the county is "Deerfield," located on the Middle Road, about a mile and one-half from Old Forge. It was known in the early days as the Ash homestead, named from Franklin Ash, the founder. The late Harvey A. Richard owned this place until his death a number of years ago. 56 THE STEPHENS NATIONALITY "The earliest settlers in the Valley of Virginia were Germans, not Dutch in the sense of being Hollanders, a mis nomer which still clings to them. They came almost entirely from the upper valley of the Rhine and sprung from the pur est strains of the Teutonic race. Their homes were chiefly in the lower Palatinate, an old principality of Germany, and the adjacent states of Mainz, Treves, Borden, Alsace, Lorraine and Wurtemberg. "Coming from this section they were called Palatines, a term finally applied to all German immigrants to this coun try during the colonial period. Two wars waged by Louis XIV of France caused an exodus from Palatinate and adja cent districts. The first known as the War of the Grand Al liance, had no other object in view than to annex Alsace and Lorraine to France. This war commenced in 1686, and the devastation of the Palatinate by the French armies has no parallel in modern history. "The second was the War of the Spanish Succession, France against all Germany. In these great conflicts the Palatinate was made a desert, and its people became wander ers in every country of Europe not controlled by Louis XIV. Not even the Huguenots of France suffered a greater mar tyrdom than the Germans of the Palatinate. "They sought an asylum in America, and in 1710, four thousand came to New York Their experience in that Col ony was not satisfactory and they turned to Pennsylvania. Commencing in 1717, they began to arrive in large numbers, landing at Philadelphia. They first settled in Lancaster and adjoining counties, and many of them then removed to Vir ginia in 1730-1732. Among them was also a small element of Swiss. "The Germans were almost unanimously Protestants, chiefly of the Lutheran and German Reform denominations, ...... "* (Virginia Magazine of History and Biog raphy. Vol. XIII, page 287.) About 1709, many Germans got land from the English Government and settled in New York. After living there some time, having built their houses etc., their liberties and *During the period 1707-1712, Queen Ann, of England, be.friended these persecuted Germans, and many of them were brought to England. Many were unable to obtain lands and the problem of providing for them be came so great, large numbers were sent to America, the greater portion landing in New York and Pennsylvania. Many emigrants to America had lived in England so long they naturally were claimed as English men, and generally admitted as English to the American colonies. 57 privileges were infringed, and, under several pretenses, they were repeatedly deprived of parts of their land. This arous ed the Germans and a greater part of them left their houses and fields, and went to settle in Pennsylvania. (Rupp's Thir ty Thousand Names, page 452.) ORIGIN OF THE PIPPIN APPLE By Dan V. Stephens When one wishes to pay the highest compliment to an excellent character or to the merit of a piece of merchandise in the customary language of the street he will say, "He ·is a pippin" or "It is a pippin," but not one person in a thousand knows of the origin of the word, but they do know, however, its meaning: that it is the highest expression of appreciation of character and quality. "Pippin" is the name of an apple of extraordinary flavor and quality and the origin of the apple was in Frederick County, Virginia just east of Stephens City on the farm of old Peter Stephens, Sr., the founder of Stephensburg. It was a seedling apple tree, the origin of which of course is lost in obscurity. Maybe the seed was dropped by a passing bird or was planted by some industrious farmer or farmer's wife who had a desire to grow the fruit where it would be con venient of access. It is a biological fact that the apple seed does not repro duce itself true to form, so when a seedling apple tree grows to maturity and bears fruit only God knows the kind of flavor and the quality of fruit the tree will bear, but man long ago discovered that through the budding process he could produce the apple true to its original form and quality. After this wonderful "Pippin" apple was discovered on the Peter Stephens farm, it became customary for farmers to come from great distances to this place to procure scions from the tree for the production of this marvelous "Pippin" apple, with the result that "Pippin" apples became common and famous in that locality in Virginia. Dr. George Ben Ste phens, a great-grandson of Peter Stephens, founder of Ste phensburg, took scions from this tree, which they called the "New Town Pippin," "New Town" being the new name giv en to Stephensburg indicating that the town had taken on a new lease of life and therefore was entitled to a new name, and it bore this name for about eighty years when the inhab itants concluded they were losing a great deal of their tra dition and renamed their town "Stephens City" in honor of the original founder. The "Pippin" apple, however, became famous on its own account and when it was exported to England Queen Vic toria was so pleased with the excellent quality and flavor of the apple that she waived all restrictions against its impor tation in order that it might be available to her people. 59 Dr. George Ben Stephens had moved down to Albemarle County and took with him scions from the "New Town Pip pin" and planted a commercial orchard in a higher and bet ter clim<1,te for apples than that even in Frederick County with the result that he produced a remarkable apple there, which he named the "Albemarle Pippin," and for at least two generations the "Albemarle Pippin" has been famous among lovers of apples everywhere, notwithstanding Queen Victoria's favor added greatly to its fame. The production of the "New Town Pippin" resulted in the first commercial orchard grown in Frederick County, Virginia, one of the greatest apple countries in the world. Dr. John S. Lupton planted this orchard of "New Town Pip pins" on a large scale with a view of supplying the market with them, which in that day and time was a new industry. Dr. Lupton obtained the trees from the Franklin Davis Nur series of Richmond, Virginia, with the understanding that he should not be required to make payment for them until he obtained a crop from the trees and that the account should not bear interest. This was a remarkable example of faith both on the part of Dr. Lupton and of the Franklin Davis Nurseries because it takes at least fifteen years to develop a ''Pippin" apple tree to the bearing stage. During that fifteen years Dr. Lupton was hard up for ready money. He was hard up in fact when he planted his orchard, and each succeeding year found him in even worse condition. His farm was mortgaged for $6,000.00 and, in ad dition to this sum, he owed a number of outstanding ac counts. He owed this debt of $6,000.00 for such a long time that he paid $14,000.00 in interest on it before being able fin ally to liquidate the debt. He managed by the most rigid economy to stave off his creditors until his orchard was sev enteen years of age at which time he harvested his commer cial crop which practically paid off his entire indebtedness. At the expiration of this seventeen-year period he paid the Franklin Davis Nurseries for the trees. When one contem plates the long years of grubbing the sprouts out of this or chard and its cultivation and pruning, he can readily under stand and appreciate the problem that confronted Dr. Lup ton from the day he planted the orchard until the day he harvested his first crop. In the light of the man who must have his pay at the end of the day's work in order to buy his bread, Dr. Lupton's faith in the future was only equalled by that of the Franklin Davis Nurseries, both of which exam ples command the greatest respect for the courage, confi dence and faith that these men had in the "New Town Pip- 60 pin" and in the future of the apple industry. Dr. Lupton set out his orchard in 1875 which is a clear indication of the very recent character of the apple indus try that has grown to such great magnitude in this country. The substance of this story we glean from an article written by W. W. Glass of Winchester entitled "The Genesis and Development of the Apple Industry in the Shenandoah, Cumberland and Potomac Valleys." This story, of course, involves the story also of John Chapman, nicknamed "Johnny Appleseed," who was a sort of a traveling missionary always carrying a sack of apple seeds with him, which he distributed free to the settlers throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana in his extended travels. He is alleged to be responsible for the ex-· tensive apple industry in these regions. In concluding this tribute to the memory of these men we can best do it by saying that they were "pippins," each and every one of them. The most luscious "Pippins" grow on the topmost boughs of the tree where the sun kisses them and the winds fan their cheeks, filling them with the "nectar of the gods," and this is the apple that these men are respon sible for directly or indirectly and the culture of which they promoted. 61 ,,. 1, BIRDS-EYE VIEW OF THE ~ X(' oMA~LlNT~'HEN~NDQAH VALLE'( X WHITE 5UlPHO• ,;: .~ ,,,Jrri;"~"",il!,!'°'~' \ •fi~~:e.-~ ....,~r,4~-;~pr"'._.1,M· : ·~ ~'..1"!41'1~... ~ l'v.

By Da.n V. Stephens A neighbor is a person living "close by" on friendly terms. That was the situation in the Shenandoah valley that portion now known as Frederick County where the Ste phenses settled in 1732, and where Lord Fairfax established his Greenway Court Estate sixteen years later, just five and one-half miles away. The wilderness knew no distinction be tween Lord Fairfax and a man of the people. It treated them all roughly. It made men in those remote places at that time stick close together. They had the same necessities and met the same savages, shoulder to shoulder, which naturally brought them close together as neighbors, although one was to the manor born and the other as an emigrant was strug gling to establish a home in America. Jost (Yost) Hite purchased from the Van Meter Brothers 80,000 acres of land in the Shenandoah Valley a short dis tance above its junction with the "Potomack" River. With other tracts he acquired probably as much as a total of 150,000 acres upon which he contracted to settle a certain number of people. From all evidence available the Van Meter Brothers were the only white men who had ever pen etrated this country prior to the arrival of Jost Hite in 1732 with a group of 16 families to be settled upon the land. One of these families was that of Peter Stephens, Sr., consisting of his wife and two or three sons and possibly as many daughters. Beyond question these people constituted the first settlers of the Shenandoah Valley. Jost Hite and his colony arrived in the Shenandoah Val ley in the year 1732. Peter Stephens had with him his son, Lewis, who was at that time 19 years old and no doubt tak ing an active part in the settlement of the colony. It was the year that George Washington was born on a plantation down near Fredericksburg, Virginia at which place he spent the first eight or ten years of his life. It was not until 1748 that Washington appears in Fred erick County across the Blue Ridge in the Jost Hite colony as the protege of Lord Fairfax. During the interim from the time he was ten or twelve years old until the time he was sixteen, he was living most of the time with his half-brother, Lawrence, at Mt. Vernon which was a neighboring estate to Belvoir, Lord Fairfax's headquarters, presided over by his 63 brother, William Fairfax, who was his agent. William Fair fax had a son, George William Fairfax, a few years Wash ington's senior, who had become quite proficient as a survey or and no doubt did much of the surveying for Lord Fair fax. So when George Washington arrived on the "Potomack" to live with his brother, Lawrence Washington, who had married one of William Fairfax's daughters, he found him self associated continuously with the numerous Fairfaxes in that neighborhood. He rode behind the hounds with Lord Fairfax, danced and played with the Fairfax youngs~ers and others of that section-in fact, he learned to be an aristocrat as a result of this association and it was this association and his knowledge of surveying, which he had learned at school and at practice with George W. Fairfax, that led to his ap pointment as surveyor of Fairfax County, which appoint ment was undoubtedly promoted by Lord Fairfax himself as well as the influential Lawrence Washington. The latter had served in the British Navy and was educated in England and had named his estate "Mt. Vernon" in honor of Admiral Vernon under whom he served in the navy. These associations naturally led to George Washington's employment by Lord Fairfax to assist in the surveying of that western wilderness included in the Northern Neck of which Lord Fairfax was proprietor. No doubt Fairfax found that his diminishing estate at the lower end of Northern Neck was not furnishing an adequate income for his needs, and so moved his land office westward in order to be more centrally located for the settlement and disposition of his lands beyond the Blue Ridge. With this end in view he locat ed his land office west of the Blue Ridge in what is now Frederick County at a place which he named Greenway Court. He lived there approximately from 1748 to 1781 when he died at the age of 92 years and was buried in Winch~ster. At the time of his death he had lived at Greenway Court ap proximately thirty-two years. When he died many notables from the Tidewater coun try, as well as the settled regions farther west, attended his funeral. The hearse was brought from Alexandria to bear his body from Greenway Court eight miles across the country to Winchester. Peter Steph~ns' family settled on Opequon Creek about 5½ miles northwest of Greenway Court and there they found ed Stephensburg. About eight miles northeast of Stephens burg, Winchester was founded by the same class of settlers. Thus we have Winchester, Stephensburg and Greenway Court in a rough triangle with Stephensburg at the south- 64 west corner. Opequon Creek flowed into the "Potomack" river paralleling the Shenandoah River throughout practi cally its whole course and all three of the towns were in the Shenandoah Valley from ten to fifteen miles west of Shenan doah River and in close proximity to Opequon Creek. The Stephenses had been at Stephensburg sixteen years before Lord Fairfax and George Washington settled on Fair fax's estate at what was to be Greenway Court. Much of the harshness of the frontier had been subdued by this time but the Indians were still a constant menace to the settlers and continued to be for many years afterwards. It was here that George Washington first distinguished himself in preparing for the defense of the frontier against Indian attacks. During the first five years from '48 to '53 George Washington was actually engaged in surveying for Lord Fairfax. He was making of course continuous trips down to Belvoir and visiting his relatives in the Tidewater section, but his main employment was with Lord Fairfax in Frederick County in the neighborhood of Stephensburg. It naturally follows that in the work of surveying plantations no doubt many of which were sold through Lewis Stephens, George 'Washington and Lewis Stephens must have come in contact with each other continuously during that period. In the five years following 1753 he must have come in contact with Lewis Stephens continuously in the matter of the de fense of the frontier because Lewis Stephens began as a Captain of a company of Foot Militia of Frederick County in 1753 and, being nineteen years older than George Wash ington, naturally he would have some superior advantages to that young man who had just started out in life for him self. In 1753 during a trip down to Williamsburg, Washington found Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia wanting to send a message out to the French commander who was encroaching upon the territory claimed by Virginia along the Ohio Riv er, but the Governor didn't find ready volunteers for this commission and he finally offered it to young George Wash ington who at that time was twenty-one years of age. Wash ington accepted the commission readily and with Christo pher Gist and two guides he made the journey to the forks of the Ohio and then on to a point near the present site of Erie, Pa., where he delivered his message to the French com mander and returned again to Williamsburg in a little over two months time. He traveled approximately 1,000 miles, the journey back being afoot. His trip really made the trav els of Capt. Rowan, who carried "the message to Garcia" 65 during the Spanish-American War, look like a Sunday School picnic. This was Washington's preliminary introduction to his country as his journal was printed both in America and Eng land, giving a description of this trip, and it was no doubt the beginning of the French and Indian War, or at least he was instrumental in beginning it the next year, in 1754, when he recruited three companies of frontiersmen, most of whom no doubt came from Frederick County and left Win chester for a trip to the forks of the Ohio, the present site of Pittsburgh, to build a fort, if possible, at that point. At a point known as Great Meadows, a short distance south of the forks of the Ohio, he met the French and in a skirmish kill ed eight or ten Indians and Frenchmen and wounded others, which led to a retalitory attack by the French the next day after Washington had thrown up some fortifications, which he called Ft. Necessity. He was surrounded by a much super ior force of men which compelled him to capitulate and re tire with the honors of war back to Frederick County, at Winchester. It is a regrettable fact that the muster roll of the three hundred men, that accompanied Washington on this journey, were lost and there is no record obtainable of them. The same is true of the campaign the next year when a large volunteer force of Frederick County frontiersmen joined Braddock in his march over the same road to Ft. Duquesne at the forks of the Ohio, where another disastrous defeat was sustained and 700 or 800 men killed in battle. Washington participated in this campaign as an aide to Braddock and un doubtedly Lewis Stephens and his company · also were not only in the disastrous march to Great Meadows the year be fore, but also in the campaign with Braddock. The evidence shown by the record of the County Court of Frederick Coun ty in which Lewis Stephens was sworn in as a Captain of a Foot Company of Militia of Frederick County in 1753 and also sworn in as Captain of Foot Militia in 1754~ would in dicate that he headed one of the volunteer companies on each of these campaigns with Washington for the protection of the frontier. It would seem almost conclusive that the French and Indian War had its origin in Frederick County, Virginia because it was from there that both campaigns made the final jump-off into the wilderness with the junc tion of the Ohio as its objective and it was to Frederick County that they returned after their defeat. Virginia alone started the war. As a result of this defeat Great Britain de clared war against France and ultimately drove the Frenfh 66 out of the North American continent. During this entire period of the French and Indian War the Shenandoah Valley was subjected to the most brutal at tacks from Indians, instigated of course by the French. This resulted in the building of Ft. Louden at the head of one of the streets in Winchester, which was completed in either '56 or '57 under the supervision of George Washington who was just entering into his career as a soldier. During all of this time from 1748 to 1759 he could not have escaped being in contact with the active and energetic Lewis Stephens, who was apparently in everything that was going on in that county. Lewis was active in real estate, active in the iron indus try (being the owner of the iron works a short distance from Stephensburg), owned a mill and finally, in 1758, platted the town of Stephensburg and applied to the Legislature for a charter. WASHINGTON'S FIRST ELECTION During the summer of 1758 Washington was a candidate from Frederick County at the election for the House of Bur gesses. He had gained fame in the campaign for the ultimate capture of Ft. Duquesne, which occurred in 1758, and was be ginning to attract attention throughout all of the colonies as a leader to be reckoned with. At the election held the 24th day of July 1758 for choos ing 2 members of the House of Burgesses the list of electors for Frederick County is to be found among Washington's papers in the State Department. The list is in Washington's own handwriting, Vol. 6, Page 162, Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. The candidates in this election for these two offices were Mr. George Washington, Mr. Thomas Bryan Martin, Mr. West and Mr. Swearinger. Out of this list of electors two were to be chosen. Those voting for George Washington were Peter Ste phens Jr., Henry Stephens, Lewis Stephens and Daniel Ste phens. Thomas Lord Fairfax also voted for Washington and so did George William Fairfax, the son of Lord Fairfax's brother, William Fairfax. Stephenses voting for Thomas Bryan Martin were Peter Stephens, Jr., Lewis Stephens, Henry Stephens and Lawrence Stephens, also Lord Thomas Fairfax and Col. William Fair- fax. · Those voting for Mr. West were Daniel Stephens and Lawrence Stephens. 67 None of the Stephenses voted for Swearinger. Washington and Bryan Martin, a nephew and final heir to Lord Fairfax of Northern Neck, Va., were elected to the House of Burgesses. COUNTY SEAT CONTEST As another evidence that there was a very close connec tion between the Stephenses and George Washington and Lord Fairfax, we have the county seat fight between Ste phensburg and Winchester which took place somewhere about 1752. At any rate that was the year Winchester was chartered and the presumption is that the contest took place about that time. Lord Fairfax wanted Stephensburg chosen as the county seat, presumably because it was closer to Greenway Court and perhaps because of his friendliness to the Stephenses. At any rate we know that the friendship existed because Lawrence Stephens named one of his sons, "Bryan Martin" after the nephew of Lord Fairfax. It is pos sible that Geo. William Stephens, eldest son of Lawrence Ste phens and Mary Bowman, born about 1754, is the n.amesake of Geo. William Fairfax. We have also the evidence of a letter written by Lord Fairfax to his kinsman, Geo. William Fair fax, down at Belvoir. reading as follows: "Sept. 10, 1758. "To George W. Fairfax, Belvoir on the Potomack. Dear George: "Mr. (Lewis) Stephens on his way to the office called here and I take the opportunity of sending by him a letter left here for you; also Mr. Lemons p.Iot. When you see Mr. Carlyle pres ently desire him to set aside a hogshead of rum and a barrel of sugar which I shall soon send my wagon for. I believ·e I shall be down in your parts before you set out for Williams burg. Mr. Bayliss has very much' disappointed us in not send ing us down a plan for Winchester which has prevented my sending down a plan for the addition, to Williamsburg, which as Mr. Wood is doing may occasion some confusion. Hollings worth is likewise desirous of doing the same thing as also Mr. Cochin (Cochran) but my service attends the families at Bel voir and Alexandria. "I remain your humble servant and kinsman, (signed) Fairfax." It will be observed that Lewis Stephens was a friendly visitor at Greenway Court and that he was undoubtedly on his way to Williamsburg on that very trip for the purpose of presenting to the Legislature his application for a char ter for Stephensburg.

LAND OFFICE, GREENWAY COURT, NEAR STEPHENS CITY, VIRGINIA In this ancient building, on the estate originally owned by Lord Fairfax, were made and kept all of the land records of the Colony of Virginia. George Washington, as a surveyor, used this building as a receptacle for his instruments and for his drawing work. C.

Tradition has it that in the contest for the county seat the promoter of Winchester was Col. Wood, a very active, energetic gentleman who owned a great deal of land and was interested in the development of town sites. He had a broth er-in-law named Thomas Rutherford, who was a Justice of the Peace, and since the County Board in those days was made up of the Justices of the Peace of the county, Ruther ford's vote on the question of the county seat became very important and, since he was a brother-in-law of Col. James Wood, it was originally presumed he would be for Winches ter, but it transpired that he was for Stephensburg which caused the utmost confusion and excitement because his vote would choose the county seat. In the course of time, how ever, it is rumored that Rutherford was entertained at one of the "ordinaries" in Winchester by Col. Wood and treated to a toddy which put Thomas Rutherford in a much better frame of mind, and he finally changed his vote to Winches ter which settled the controversy. It is alleged that Lord Fairfax was so annoyed by the change of front by Ruther ford that he never spoke to him again. It was some six years later that Lewis Stephens applied for a charter for the organization of the town of Stephens burg and the application which appears in another place in this volume is very interesting in that it sets out as the main reason for the organization of this town "for the com mon defense against the attacks of Indians." The evidence of the savage character of the country is disclosed in the various attacks of Indians, that took place throughout a long period of time, in which whole families were wiped out and many of the younger children carried off in captivity. General Zane, who owned the iron works near Stephensburg at Marlboro which Lewis Stephens founded, 69 had a relative who was carried away in captivity during a savage attack of the Indians in which many people were kill ed. This Isaac Zane, who was captured at nine years of age, was carried to a point in Ohio where the tribe lived, at a place called Chillicothe. He never saw a white man for four years after that and was raised as an Indian boy and learned the Indian language and in the course of time married the daughter of a Wyandotte Chief and became a prominent leader among the Indians. He never forgot his English and was able to serve his country and the Indians as well during that very trying period. It is a most interesting fact to note that, just prior to the World War, Barbara Stephens, the daughter of former Congressman and Governor of California, who was a de scendant of the founder of Stephensburg, married a descend ant of General Zane, who owned the iron works at Marl boro, thus connecting these two pioneer families. Major Zane, who married Barbara Stephens, lost his life in the World War being wounded at Chateau-Thierry and later died in France. It is a far cry from the savage attack of the Indians on the Zane family at old Stephensburg to the battle of Chateau-Thierry in France. Nevertheless the families are closely tied together in these striking events. The building of Ft. Louden practically concluded Wash ington's activities in Frederick County although he is alleg ed to have continued as a voting resident of the county until 1759. Following that, no doubt after his marriage in 1760, his permanent residence was transferred to Fairfax County at Mt. Vernon. It is a most interesting bit of history to note that the litigation over the title to land as a result of the Lord Fair fax claims and those of other proprietors, continued over a period of 50 years until finally the suit was settled in about 1785 through the efforts of John Marshall, then a young law yer at Richmond and afterwards Chief Justice of the Su preme Court. He was employed by Jost Hite, the leader of the little band of settlers, who opened up the wilderness in the Shenandoah Valley, to quiet the title to the land that the settlers had acquired. To one tract of land particularly Peter Stephens received his grant from King George II while most of the people received their titles from the Van Meter grant, Jost Hite or Thomas Lord Fairfax. The principle was settled in this suit begun by Jost Hite with John Marshall as attor ney, and George Washington assisted Jost Hite among others in paying the fee that Marshall charged for his services. No doubt as a result of John Marshall's connection with this suit 70 James M. Marshall, his brother, bought the remnant of the estate of Lord Fairfax from his nephew, Bryan Martin, who had inherited it. Thus ended the Lord Fairfax line of seven generations in America which really was in fact ended by the Revolutionary War. As a further evidence of the activities of Lewis Stephens in connection with George Washington and Lord Fairfax, we have also to offer the fact that Capt. Lewis Stephens sat upon a court-martial in Winchester Sept. 2, 1755; Capt. Lew is Stephens returned a list of delinquents Oct. 27, 1758 and Maj. Lewis Stephens sat upon a court-martial Oct. 31, 1760. The comment of an investigator, Mr. R. E. Griffith, Sr., of Winchester on this subject is as follows: "You will notice that Captain Lewis Stephens does not ap pear in the records of the court from Sept. 2, 1755 to October 27, 1758. This must mean that he was absent in the field. He does not appear again until October 1760 and then as Major, which would indicate another absence in the field and a pro motion. Of course a full list of the officers setting on the court-martials appear. Nearly all courts were presided over by Lord Fairfax, the County Lieutenant, otherwise the Colonel of Frederick County Militia presided. Lord Fairfax was always very favorable to the Stephens family and tried to have Ste phensburg (now Stephens City, new town) made the County Seat of Frederick County. His nephew to whom he left Gre~n way Court, Thomas Bryan Martin, was on intimate terms with the family. One (of the Lawrence Stephens boys) was named 'Thomas Bryan Martin Stephens'. His will is the last in the foregoing list." This would clearly indicate that Lewis Stephens was ac tive not only in the preliminary campaign, that George Washington made to the Forks of the Ohio but also in the Braddock Campaign and that in the court-martials as a rule Lord Fairfax presided as the County Lieutenant in the ab ence of the Colonel. We find also that on December 3, 1755 just following the return from the Braddock campaign Lewis Stephens was sworn in as High Sheriff of Frederick County which may ac count for his absence from the court-martial of that year. Then the term was for one year only. The Braddock defeat occurred during the summer of 1755 and the army was back at Fredericksburg, Virginia, the county seat, before Capt. Stephens was sworn in as High Sheriff, indicating an honor able recognition for his war services. Two years later he was promoted again to the office of Major. Lewis Stephens Sr. was then 47 years old and would have been 63 years old when the Revolutionary War broke out in 1776. 71 His brother, Peter Jr., and two nephews, one of whom was Lawrence Stephens, the son of Peter Stephens, Jr., saw service in the Revolution. Joseph Lawrence, the son of Lawrence, saw service. This Lawrence was the brother of Lewis, Sr. and he died in 1776. So we have Peter, Jr., the brother of Lewis, Sr. and the two nephews of Lewis, Lawrence and Joseph Lawrence, with Revolutionary War records. Of course there were many oth ers who saw service but whose records we are unable to get. Most of the records we find were made possible by the appli cation for pension by the old soldiers or their widows. Many of them died before the pension act was passed about 1830, while others did not care to bother with the small amount that would be paid to them each year, thus losing to poster ity some very valuable and interesting records. Lewis Stephens (443) contended that he served in the Revolutionary War- but no record has been found of the fact and, since he was born in 1766, he would have had to serve toward the end of the war and would have been only seven teen years old when peace was declared. Inasmuch as many youths twelve and fourteen years old, however, volunteered and served in the Revolutionary War, his statement need not be brought into question as the records were so poorly kept that thousands of soldiers who served in the war have no written records at all of that service.

GENEALOGICAL INDEX PETER STEPHENS AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS 1690 - 1935 (1) PETER STEPHENS, SEN'R. Peter Stephens, Sen'r. was born in 1690 or a little earlier (probably in Germany). There is little known about his early history or the exact date he came to America, but since he was so closely identified with Jost Hite (sometimes called "The Old German Baron") it is presumed that he may have come to this country with Hite, settling, first, in Rockland County, New York, later coming down through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the Valley of the Shenandoah, Virginia, with Jost Hite and others in the year 1732. Peter Stephens, Sen'r. married Maria Christina Rittenhouse of Germantown, Pennsylvania. There is a tradition in the family that Peter had a previous marriage and that his eldest son, Lewis, was a child of this union. There may be some basis for this tra dition as is explained elsewhere in this volume. Jost Hite settled on Opequon while Peter Stephens traveled a few miles further south and settled on Crooked Run, near which he founded the town of Stephensburg now Stephens City, Frederick County, Virginia. On October 3, 1734, he received a patent from Jost Hite, 674 acres of land adjoining Hite (the same recorded in Orange County) and on November 10, 1752, he secured 572 acres adjoining his own patent. In 1743 the County of Frederick was formed from Orange and from that date we find many deeds from Peter Stephens, Sr. and his descendants recorded in the Frederick County records. He died in 1757, leaving his large estate to his wife (of whom we have no further record) his four sons and three daughters. (WB. 2 - p 266, Frederick County records.)

He was interested in making iron, having his iron works at Marlboro. Later, he sold the iron works to General Isaac Zane. He received from Lord Fairfax, in 1752, a grant of 1384 acres of land, and in 1754, he purchased of his father, 424 acres of the 674 acre patent to Peter Stephens, Sr. In 1758 he applied to the General As,. sembly for a charter for the town of Stephensburg and until about 1790 did a thriving business in town lots. He died in 1805, leaving the bulk of his estate to his son, Lewis, Jr. Mary, his wife, died sometime between September 4, 1797 and April 2, 1798. The first deed that she signed was on May 7, 1745 and the last was on September 4, 1797. The next deed made by Lewis Stephens, Sr. in which she is not mentiohed is on April 2, 1798.

He mar ried on January 30, 1854, E1la Louisa Stephens (183) and they .soon moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where Mr. Clark soon became the most prominent jeweler of that city. In 1865, he sold out his business and invested a portion of the proceeds (about $20,000.00) in building a river steamboat, the "Thomas Powell"); He then went south and had fair prospects of making considerable money, transporting cot ton and other freight, on the lower Mississippi and tributar ies. Owing to the scarcity of boats at the close of the war between the states, the boat was seized by the United States Government and used to convey troops to various points. When the vessel was returned to Mr. Clark, it was so badly damaged that it was sold for a trifle. He then went to Lou isville, Kentucky, and again started in the jewelry business. In 1870, he invented an "Automatic Electrical Steam Gauge," which he patented and the Government ordered one on every steam vessel in the United States. He then invented and patented an electrical clock (about 1872), and on November 24, 1885, he patented a "Micrimeter Gauge," an instrument that can be found on every watchmaker's table. He later moved to California, and located at 120 Sutter Street, San Francisco, where he was in business as a watchmaker and jeweler.

(443) LEWIS STEPHENS Son of Peter Stephens (8) and Barbara Wilson (11). Born in Stephensburg, Virginia about 1766. Died on Brummett's Creek, east of Bloomington, Ind., "A. 25, 1835." Indiana was a primeval wildnerness in 1818 and Monroe County was organ ized that year partly out of Indian territory. He died on the farm in 1835 on which he settled in 1818 and is buried across the creek from where his house stood. The sandstone marker bears the simple inscription, "L. S. - A. 1835." It is not known whether he died in April or in August. Great trees were growing over his grave in 1900. Calvin Moser, a son of Polly Stephens Moser, daughter of Lewis Stephens, was play ing around in the woodshed while a relative, Wren Brum mett, carved this stone, and he recounted the incident to this editor about the year 1900. Lewis had been dead then sixty five years, so few men were alive who remembered him. Lewis Stephens left very little written record of his life, but the fact that he journeyed across a vast mountain region from the Shenandoah Valley to his final resting place in Monroe County, Indiana showed great courage and ability as a frontiersman to accomplish such a feat. From 1790 to 1818 covered a period in our history when there were only scat tered settlements in that vast region. It is not remarkable that he did not write a story of his progress nor is it remark able that his humble wife and companion should have her identity completely submerged in that struggle. There were no railroads, steamships or highways, and the journey was so great few ever had the courage to go back over it in that generation. Hardship characterized their lives and most of them died in poverty where they settled. He established the Stephens family in Indiana who trace their lineage back to old Peter Stephens of Virginia who settled in the Shenando ah Valley in 1732. The destiny of thousands of his descend ants in Indiana was affected by his decision to settle there. While on his trail from Virginia, we catch an additional glimpse of Lewis Stephens in Knox County, Kentucky, which was formed from Lincoln and Mercer Counties in 1785. Will Book 1, Page 154, Knox County, shows an appraisement made for Isaac Langly by Administrator Fisher, Lewis Ste phens and John Bowman on March 10, 1794. Lewis Stephens was from Frederick County, Virginia and the coupling of his name in this appraisement with John Bowman, who was .also from Frederick County and also a relative by marriage, verifies other information as to Lewis' identity in Knox County, Kentucky. In April 1818, the year that Lewis Stephens trekked across from Kentucky to Monroe County, Indiana, a Com mittee appointed by the Legislature began the organization of Monroe County, Indiana. There was some land taken up in that section in 1816 but very few settlers appeared that early. In 1818, however, there were approximately twenty families scattered about near the site of the present city of Bloomington. The town of Bloomington was laid out and named by this Committee and the sale of town lots by auc tion was set for June 22, 1818. The agent in charge of the sale was ordered to procure a barrel of whiskey for the oc casion. The sale was considered very successful amounting to $14,326.85. It is not known to what extent the sale was in fluenced by the free whiskey that was distributed but it is known that Jonathan Rogers was paid $1.00 for serving the liquor to the crowd of thirsty men. A few lots sold for as high as $200.00 which was considered an extraordinary price for town lots that were still in the wilderness.. A crop of wheat was growing on the townsite at the time. We can visualize Lewis Stephens with his cavalcade of prairie schooners drawn by nondescript horses, followed by loose stock herded by boys who were then husky lads ap proaching maturity, winding his way through Indian trails to the townsite. The land around Bloomington, Indiana was fairly level consisting of limestone soil characterized by its sweetness. Lewis may or may not have camped for a time at the townsite to look over the prospects but the facts remain that he soon made his way six miles eastward to Brummett's Creek where he settled among the sandstone hills and in heavy timber. At that time the Indian boundary extended across that section of the county, a portion of the county be ing still in the Indian country. It was not ceded to the gov ernment until October of that year, no doubt after Lewis had settled. In the treaty between the government and the Miami Indians in October 1818 the Miamis ceded to the gov ernment all that middle portion of Indiana known as the "New Purchase" and included a portion of what is now Mon roe County. It was not until 1836 that Adam Stephens, son of Lewis Stephens, and Jacob Moser, a son-in-law who married Polly Stephens, took up land in Benton Township where they had lived for about eighteen years without exercising the privi lege of buying cheap government land. Louis Reins, another son-in-law who married Nancy Stephens, also took up land. However, John Stephens and other sons of Lewis took up land in Salt Creek Township south of Benton as early as 1833. It now seems rather remarkable in looking back over the history of the county that settlers would remain in the county so long, occupying government land, without pre empting it. However, the truth is the land didn't seem to be worth anything to anybody. There was a world of it. Why buy it when they could have it for nothing? No one wanted it particularly, and they were all poor. Lewis Stephens may also have noticed the building of the first temporary court house in Bloomington during the summer of 1818. The commissioners ordered two log cabins built side by side for a court house. Each cabin was to be 20 by 20 feet with a 10 foot space between them. The roof was to cover not only the cabins but the space between the cabins, making an alleyway. In the south where this type of cabin is common, the alleyway is sometimes termed a "dog alley." The cabins were to be built of round logs but after wards, when time permitted, were to be hewed down. The buildings were to be 10 feet high from the ground to the eaves and each building was to contain one door and one window. The contract price was $400.00 and the buildings were ready for use in August 1818. If Lewis stopped long in Bloomington he found that the Board of Supervisors also had gone into the price-fixing bus iness. For example they fixed the price of corn and oats at 12-½c per gallon, fodder or hay for the horse 25c, breakfast at the tavern 25c, dinner 25c, supper 18-¾c and lodging 6¼c, so that a man traveling horseback could stop at the tavern, pay these prices and get off for $1.00 for the day for man and beast. He also found that the County Board had fixed the price of drinks as follows: -½ pint whiskey 12-½c ½ pint brandy 18¾c ½ pint rum (French whiskey) 37-½c ½ pint wine 37½c Then when the tax lister came around he would find that he would have to pay 37-½c tax on one horse, 50c tax on each 100 acres of first class land, 43-¾c on second class land and 25c on third class land. Apparently Lewis didn't pay any land tax having died before he considered land was worth own ing, notwithstanding the fact that it was covered with the most perfect body of virgin timber that could be found in America consisting of oak, hickory, poplar, walnut, beech, hard maple, etc. The township in which old Lewis settled was finally or ganized in 1833 and named Benton for Thos. H. Benton, Unit- ed States Senator from Missouri. This was just two years before old Lewis died and fifteen years after he had settled there. One of the first schools in the county was organized at the present site of Unionville and became famous in that part of the country because of the character of the men who attended this backwoods school. Soon after Lewis Stephens settled on Brummett's Creek he, together with James Brummett, David Barrow, William McCoy and John Cott and their families, organized what was probably the first Baptist Church in the county, called the "Little Union." Their families constituted the principal members. There may possibly have been a Baptist church organized at Bloomington before this one was organized near Unionville on Brummett's Creek but it is not probable. The church was set up near Lewis Stephens' residence, the first meetings being held at the house of James Brummett. This bit of information concerning the founding of the first Baptist church in Monroe County at the headwaters of Brummett's Creek near the present town of Unionville, is of great interest, at least to this editor, for the reason that he has a vivid recollection of the old log church that Lewis Ste phens' descendants built. It contained two doors: one on each side of the end of the building facing Brummett's Creek. On a Sunday morning with his parents in midsummer he attend ed a church service in this old log house. It was to be a cele bration of some particular phase of the church ceremony. It was "foot washing day." The brethren brought their dish pans with them and these pans were deposited in the corner of the church near the pulpit pending the preliminary steps to the main ritual. When everything was ready one or two of the brethren brought in pails of water from the creek and in the meantime the old deacons of the church with their wives assembled on the front seats in front of the pulpit, timidly and cautiously removed their shoes and stockings while two other members-one for the men and one fo;r the women-passed by with their dishpans and each devotee im mersed his feet in the pan and the person performing the ablution gently washing their feet. The writer, only five or six years old at the time, soon tired of this perform ance and went out where Brummett's Creek was babbling over its rocky bed, affording himself an opportunity to wade and watch the little minnows play around his bare feet. It is certainly a far cry back to this old church on Brummett's Creek and back to the old people who performed this solemn church ritual.

Born in Virginia about 1793. Married Lewis Reins and settled in Monroe County, Indiana. ( 445) POLLY STEPHENS Daughter of Lewis Stephens (443). Probably born in Vir ginia about 1795. Married Jacob Moser in Cumberland Coun ty, Tennessee. Calvin, their first child, was the first white child born in that county, Feb. 17, 1817. The family follow ed her father Lewis (443) to Brown County, Indiana about 1819. Polly Stephens, who married Jacob Moser, was the mother of five sons all of whom served as soldiers in the Civ il War. They were all in the same Indiana company and had gone through the war without a scratch, until it was almost over, when Washington was shot by one of his own men, Hiram Reynolds. Washington was working in the kitchen when he gave Reynolds orders to do something or he would tell the Captain. Reynolds said, "I guess you'll not" and walked out to his tent to get his gun. Washington reached up to get his rifle and his hands were wet and maybe greasy from working in the kitchen. In any event he pulled the trigger accidentally and shot up through the ceiling. Hiram Reynolds shot through a knothole in the board and hit Wash ington in the head killing him. The bullet lodged in one of the boards and one of his brothers brought it home with him. Hiram Reynolds was court-martialled and hanged for his deed, one of Washington's brothers "pulling the rope" or "pushing the trap" of whatever method was used. This story was told by Dr. J. E. Moser, a grandson of Washington. CfilLDREN Calvin (452), Lewis (453), Washington (454), John (455), Patsy (456), Bitha (457), Mary (458), Kate '(459) and Rachel (460) •.

Married Rachel Hensley August 14, 1828 in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana, marriage performed by Jacob Mos er, his brother-in-law, Justice of the Peace. Died near Louis ville, Kentucky in December 1845 in an accident. He was re turning from Louisville, Kentucky with a load of merchan dise for his family and neighbors on Brummett's Creek, Mon roe County, Indiana when the accident occurred. He was walking with another man, probably a friend, behind his wagon when the horses drawing the wagon became frighten ed. His son James, thirteen years old, was driving, probably a four-horse team, and in all probability the wagon was of the Conestoga type with a schooner body. The driver's seat on these wagons was high over the doubletree of the wagon giving the driver the advantage of view. When the team be came frightened the father, John Stephens, ran around the wagon stepping on the doubletree in his efforts to reach the driver's seat to aid the son who was handling the horses. His foot slipped and he fell in front of the wagon and the wheel passed over his body killing him almost instantly. There were no doubt several wagons in the train as for safety they traveled together. The train stopped long enough to bury John Stephens somewhere along the road near New Albany, Indiana. The son, James, continued with the wagon and his father's load of freight to their homestead on Brummett's Creek near Bloomington, Indiana bringing the news of the tragedy to Rachel Stephens, his mother. The wilderness had delivered to Rachel many rough and raw experiences but this was the greatest blow of all and her own son brought the news to her after many days. She was sixteen years old when she married John and she was yet in her early thirties when she lost him, but she had one daughter and five sturdy sons left which he had given her. There were no railroads in Indiana at that time, nor steamboats on her rivers. The near est market was more than 100 miles away over wilderness roads.

Born September 5, 1816 in ·Johnson County, Tennessee. Hiram Butcher, pioneer of Monroe Courity, was brought to this sec tion by his parents, when two years old, and has been the pet of Indian friends and the playfellow of Indian children. His father, Solomon Butcher, was also a native of Tennessee, a farmer and carpenter, who married Katherine Stephens, and they, with two children, moved to this region by wagon, purchased 160 acres, and made a good home and valuable farm. These parents had born to them eleven children. Hiram is the eldest of this family and when a youth received but sjx months' schooling, educating himself by the light of the fire, since which time he has pursued such studies as have made up for his early disadvantages. When twenty-two years old he married Amelia Beasley, of Lawrence County, Indiana and thereafter began life for himself by purchasing a mill and afterward gaining and improving 300 acres. After bar• tering for and occupying various lands, Mr. Butcher purchas• ed the Fairfax property for $9,750.00. He was not exempt from reverses, but now has a good farm of 140 acres.

When Richard Lewis Stephens set tled on Stephens Creek in 1854 it was still a solid wilderness of oak, sycamore, ash, walnut, poplar and hickory trees of great value but the settlers of those days had no use for the timber. It impeded their opportunity to till the land, and the RICHARD LEWIS STEPHENS (484) AND HIS THREE SONS Taken about 1900. Reading from left to right: Back row: Dan V. Stephens (562,) John S. Stephens (557). Front row: William Peter Stephens (558) and Richard Lewis Stephens (484). first objective of a settler was to cut the timber, call in his neighbors and have a "log rolling," and then great bonfires would destroy timber that would be worth today many thou sands of dollars on a single farm. That was the method that Richard Lewis and all of the others pursued in clearing their land, draining the swamps, building their houses and making the country a fit place in which to live. These occasions were festive in character. A great feast would be provided and hard liquor was consumed in quantities. The wives of all the neighbors would join in preparing the dinner. These neigh bors worked together in all the heavy work of subduing the land. This editor can remember the first log house that Rich ard Lewis Stephens built and has a hazy recollection of what it looked like. He built a second log house on a greater scale and still later a third house, this time a frame house, which was more pretentious as the family became more prosperous. The last two houses were built on the slope of the hill over looking the valley, affording a beautiful view for the man who had earned the right in the sweat of his face to possess it. His father, John Stephens, had settled a few miles east of this location on Brummett's Creek and his grandfather, Lewis, had settled a little further north on this same stream. The sons of old Lewis Stephens (443) populated the east portion of the county and the adjoining western half of Brown County with their very large families. Richard Lewis claimed that he was born in Logansport, Indiana, a very natural supposition on his part as Logans~ port became a rather important city in his lifetime while the place where he probably was born, Logans Fort, was no doubt entirely forgotten. Logans Fort was an outpost against the Indians in 1812 situated in Warrick County in a direct line between Bloomington and New Albany, Indiana on the main road toward Knox County, Kentucky from which place old Lewis Stephens migrated to Indiana. John Stephens, Richard Lewis' father, and Rachel Hensley, John's wife, had both as children passed over that road, Rachel com ing from the district of Knoxville in Tennessee and John from Knox County, Kentucky. Therefore they must have had a vivid recollection of that trail, and what would be more natural to assume, following their marriage in Bloomington in August, 1828, than that they would journey back over that trail to a spot that in their memory's eye looked good to them to begin their life together? Logans Fort is now Fort Ritner. This would enable Richard Lewis Stephens to be born there in 1830 inst~ad of at Logansport, Indiana which place was at that time about 150 miles north in the heart of an Indian country that had not yet been opened for settle ment. Therefore the conclusion is that the alleged informa tion that Richard Lewis had, that his birthplace was Logans port, is probably an error and that he was born at Logans Fort and that his father soon returned and took up land on Brummett's Creek, Monroe County, Indiana where he lived when he met his accidental death and where his widow lived until she died, and where his children were all born and rais ed excepting Lewis who was born probably at Logans Fort. Richard Lewis Stephens was a very ambitious man but his opportunities were exceedingly limited by his environ ment. Early following the Civil War he was made Justice of the Peace by the War Governor of Indiana and for a gener ation or more he administered justice in a backwoods court in accordance with the custom of the times. He was one of the foremost citizens in the locality where he lived and died and was a successful farmer. He was known affectionately among his neighbors and friends as "Squire Dick Stephens."

(485) JAMES STEPHENS Son of John Stephens (450) and Rachel Hensley. Born in Monroe County, Indiana. He married and moved to Illinois; was divorced and returned to Monroe County, Indiana where he lived with his brother Samuel until his death. He had no children. He was with his father John (450) on that fateful day in December 1845 when his father was accidentally killed on his return trip from Louisville, Kentucky with freight for his family, living on Brummett's Creek, Monroe County, In diana, 100 miles north. Little James, thirteen years old, after the members of the party had buried his father at possibly New Albany, Indiana carried on in his father's place. He was a heroic, though pathetic figure, as he sat on the high sway ing deck of a great freight "schooner" (wagon) driving the four horses through wilderness trails to his home east of Bloomington. The wagon train probably made fifteen or twenty miles a day, so at best James was about six days reaching home bearing the tragic news of his father's death. The editor of this record heard his father, Richard (484), tell of the arrival home of James, his brother. They watched the great swaying wagon come down the "long hill" a half mile away and seemed aware instinctively that something was wrong. The family dog, that always followed the wagon, ran before the wagon and acted so strangely the family became alarmed and ran out to meet James. James' life was simple and quiet on the surface but af ter an unhappy marriage he returned to the old home down the same "long hill" he descended in December 1845. He died there an old man on the farm where he was born and his two great tragedies were buried with him. (486) ADAM C. STEPHENS Son of John Stephens (450) and Rachel Hensley.

(824) SARAH BAYNE LAMKINS Sarah Bayne was born in Larue County, Kentucky August 8, 1805 and married James B. Lamkins (773) on Feb. 10, 1825. Her family were English, the Baynes having migrated to America at a very early date and settled in Maryland. Branches of the family moved west through Cumberland Gap and down the Ohio River into the territories west and south of Maryland and the progenitors of Sarah Bayne found their way into Kentucky. They probably came over the same trail and about at the same time that the father of Abraham Lin coln migrated to Kentucky and settled in the same county. In fact the families of James Lamkins and Sarah Bayne were contemporaries of the Lincolns and no doubt their children played together. Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809, while James B. Lamkins was born in 1802 and Sarah Bayne in 1805. Therefore Abraham Lincoln, who was born in 1809, would have been a few years younger than that and they no doubt would have remembered the boy because he had grown to manhood, moved to Indiana and finally to Illinois and was attracting a great deal of attention in Illinois in 1841 when the Lamkinses migrated to Monroe County, Indiana. They left Kentucky probably for the reason no doubt that they sought free territory where slavery was not recognized. The division between the white rich and the white poor in slave holding territory was very great. Even the negroes looked down upon white people who were unable to own slaves. They emulated their rich owners and glorified them, while they referred to those, who were unable to own slaves, as "poor white trash." It was this sort of a condition of society that drove many extraordinarily good white people out of slave territory into free territory where slavery was barred. Sarah Bayne was a remarkable woman in that she en dured the hardships of pioneer life and lived through the pioneer stage in Larue County, Kentucky while she gave birth to ten children, finally migrating into Indiana in 1841 to begin life anew again in a wilderness where she gave birth to three more children. Therefore, she raised to matur ity 13 children and settled two homes, both in the primeval wilderness, and in spite of this lived to be about 82 years of age. Her husband died in 1861. She was therefore widowed before many of her children reached maturity and took her place at the head of her family for at least a quarter of a century. The earliest recollections the writer has are of spending delightful week-ends at grandmother Lamkin's home where she still lived in the typical double log house with the pas sageway between roofed over, characteristic of all pioneer houses of that day. On one side of the alley between the two houses were the living quarters and on the other was the family factory consisting of the loom and other equipment for producing home necessities. I never saw the loom in op eration, as the days of looms were practically closed in that locality at that time, but the loom stood silent in the corner of this room, usually covered with dust. It was there, how ever, just as it had been left by grandmother many years be- fore, and the room had become a sort of a storeroom filled with mystery to a boy of seven or eight years of age. In the other part of the house was the great fireplace with all of the cooking equipment around it: ovens, etc., where the family cooking was done. Over the fireplace was a clock, a massive thing three or four feet high, and on an other wall over a b~d was grandfather's rifle with the pow der horn and shot bag, just as he had left it, and my grand mother regaled me with stories of his prowess as a huntsman, describing how he had killed bear and deer right on their farm soon after they had settled there. We could do anything at grandmother's house and, therefore, it was always a great joy to spend the week- end with her. We were never corrected or criticized for our table manners or anything else that we did. Grandmother was ex ceedingly tolerant not only of her grandchildren but of her own children and they all loved her throughout her life. She married James B. Lamkins (773) in Larue County, Kentucky on February 10, 1825. CHILDREN See No. 773. (824A) SAMUEL JESSE LAMKINS Samuel Jesse Lamkins, son of William B. Lamkins (773) and adopted son of James B. Lamkins (773) and Sarah Bayne Lamkins (824). William B., the father of Samuel Jesse, mar ried Martha Devers and died at about 20 years of age, per haps younger. His widow, Martha Devers, married again and moved out west where she raised another family and Sarah Bayne Lamkins raised her son, Samuel. Samuel Jesse married Agnes ______from which union there were 4 children: Les- lie, Harry, Ann and Cora. (825) RACHEL HENSLEY Daughter of Grandson Hensley and ______and wife of John Stephens (450) married her husband at Bloomington, Indiana when she was sixteen years old and apparently be gan her young life with him at a place along the trail over which she had traveled with her parents from Tennessee. There were apparently fourteen children in Rachel's family and the marriage record book in the Monroe County Re corder's office shows their names and to whom they were married to be as follows: Nancy Hensley to Lewis Moser; Sally Hensley to Jake Romens; Rachel Hensley to John Stephens; Jane Hensley to Andrew Parks; Martha (Patsy) Hensley to Samuel Smith; Catherine Hensley to Adam Stephens; James Hensley to Mary ______; (Tombstone in cemetery at South Un- ion, Indiana reads: "James Hensley died May 17, 1868, age 68 Yrs. 4 mo. 8 days, Mary Hensley died July 11, 1875, age 71 Yrs. 2 mo. 29 days."' Had a son named Fleming. Lived near Smithville, Ind.); Nathan Hensley to Mary Mosier; Joseph Hensley to Lucy (Dice) Huff; Henry Hensley to ···········-···········; Byers Hensley to ....., ____ ; Dick Hensley (died at about age 12 at Brummett's Creek). It is believed that the Hensley family came to Monroe County in the year 1818 from Kentucky and North Carolina and probably were a part of the exodus which included Lew is Stephens and his family, although they may not have come together. In any event they came apparently from the same states. It will be observed from the above list of daughters of Grandson Hensley that Catherine Hensley and Rachel Hensley married brothers, John Stephens ( 450) and Adam Stephens ( 451), both sons of Lewis Stephens ( 443).
