The William H. Stephenson Family
I am particularly interested in the family of William H. Stephenson/Elizabeth McBeth. I believe William to be a son of Lemuel Stephenson and Florence Abraham Stephenson of neighboring Clermont County. That would make him a brother of my great-great-grandmother, Sarah Stephenson Wood, who came to Illinois abt 1830.
William and Elizabeth had the following children, with approximate birthdates:
Samuel Stephenson - 1839
Lemuel Stephenson - 1841 (spouse Margaret)
Otho P. Stephenson - 1843 (spouse Martha Bolender; m. in Clermont County in 1871)
Margaret Stephenson - 1844
Jonathan Stephenson - 1848
James M. Stephenson - 1850
Flora Belle Stephenson - 1852 (m. — Hook, probably between 1870/1875)
Frances Stephenson - 1859 (I believe she married Franklin Carter, since her brother James was living with this family in 1880—and the wife's first name was Fanny)
Lizzie B. Stephenson - 1857
William Stephenson - 1859
I am trying to determine the spouses and children for the above individuals—also the marriage dates. I hope that most of these marriages are in the Brown County marriage records.
Thank you for your help.
