I have this same information from the same source but it actually gives no details and the court house in Randolph Co AL has burned several times so I am not sure we will ever be able to find any of the text of the will.If I ever get to Alabama to do research, maybe I can find out.
There is a lot of information about the Stephens family in the book "History of Upson Co Georgia"including as follows - "Dec 30 1846 - Edmund B Stephens of Upson Co and Josiah T N Stephens of Russell Co AL sold lot 1, 10 D,to Hopkinson Daniel"I think maybe Edmund and Josiah were brothers.Josiah was in Russell Co by Feb 1844, when he married Winnifred Barron.In 1850 there is an E.B. Stephens on the census in Benton (Calhoun) county AL with a wife Jane and 3 sons and 1 dau.
The Josiah T N is actually Josiah Fishback Nelson Stephens, (my GG-Grandfather) son of Solomon and Sarah Stephens and I believe he was a brother of Edmund B Stephens.I think the Edmund is probably the E B Stephens that administered the will of Solomon and Sarah Stephens.
I believe the Solomon referred to in the will settlement is John Solomon Stephens, born 1775 in North Carolina, brother to Stephen B. Stephens, the father of Alsey Stephens.
Solomon Stephens maried Sarah (Sally) Barrow in Putnam Co GA in 1808.
Solomon is on the Upson Co GA Census in 1830 & 1840, then in Randolph Co AL in 1850.Then Sarah is shown in 1860 & 1870 in Randolph Al, in 1870 she was 80 years old..Looking at the census records it looks like they probably had 7 or 8 sons and one daughter.I believe Solomon probably died about 1857/58, Sarah sold or transferred some land in 1858.
My big brick wall now is - Who is the father of Solomon and Stephen B Stephens?
Let me know what you think - I do have quite a bit of info on my brnach of the Stephens Family.
Good Hunting.
