STEPHENS,Jimmy b1779 in VA
Hello!
I am looking for any information I can find on my James (Jimmy) Stephens he was said to be born in VA in 1779? Jimmy died in 1852 in Sevier County. He married Jenny Jane Foster she was born in NC in 1788? She died in 1863 and is burried in Knoxville. They had the following children:
Sarah "Salley" E Stephens b Oct. 1844 (my line)
Andrew Jackson "Jack" Stephens--drowned in the Mississippi River--He was on the ship Sultana

James Stephens (Stevens) died April 8 1856 in Sevier County--the county paid Murphy & Mcnutt to bury him also I found records where his small children were bound as apprentice to several families in Sevier County
What happened to Jenny Jane Foster Stephens?
Who were her parents?Any information on this family will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
