Thomas Stephens and Mattie were my husband's gggrandparents.His great grandfather was William Patton Stephens/Stevens who was a brother to Andrew.I have personally met Ida Katherine.She was a sweet lady!!
As to the info on Thomas's parents being John and Elizabeth Joyner Stephens, I have yet to find the proof of this.Have you?
We recently (thanks to Jim Adams, another Stephens researcher) found that on two of Thomas and Mattie's youngest sons death certificates it list her maiden name as Ferrell.
I would love to hear from you!
