Florida Stephens
Hello:
I am related to the Stephens line inHolmes, Walton, Jackson County Florida (Westville, Ponce DeLeon and Marianna).
My oldest Stephens is W.C."Bill" Stephens born 1829 in Alabama per the Jackson County Florida 1870 census. He married Mary Jane WEBB in Jackson County Fla on 2-12-1866, the 1860 census indicated she was from Georgia but the 1870 census shows she was born in Florida. The marriage record has his name as "W. D. Stephens" They had several children below:
-----------------------------------------------------------
George Stephens: Born ?, I "think" he married an ANDREWS.He had a son named Aubrey Hiram Stephens who was a Doctor and also owned a drug store in Ponce De Leon.
Ella Stephens: Born appx 1870, Married Julius "Jule" Allen COOEYand lived in Westville (Holmes County). Jule Cooey was the son of William Cooey and Abigail MORRISON.
Alice Stephens: born:10-14-1885, affectionately called "Aunt Coot" married Robert H. MORRISON.
Dave Stephens: Family story claims that he got into a really bad fight in Ponce De Leon one night and immediately left for Texas and was never heard of again.
Katie or Kate Stephens: She married John T. MASHBURN 3-22-1911 in Jackson County Florida. They had a daughter named Jewell Mashburn who married a Buster BOYETTE and might still be living in Pensacola, Florida.
Martha Jane Stephens: Married Josh SUTTON. They had a daughter named Doris Sutton who married an ANDREWS. Doris died in Pensacola, Florida either 1998 or 1999.
Rosa "Mae" Stephens: Married Calvin Allison BOWMAN. They had a daughter named Norma MildredBowman who married a BERG
Beth "Betty" Stephens: Married Daniel SELLERS
-----------------------------------------------------------
Mary Jane Webb-Stephens died and W.C. "Bill" Stephens remarried to a lady with the last name of WHITTON.Their children together were:
Josephine "Josie" Stephens (married an Allen)and Edward "Eddis" Stephens (married a MELTON from Washington State) who were twins.
W.C. "Bill" Stephens had a brother named Sam Stephens who was a real estate broker from Ponce De Leon area.
Other names from this line of which we are related too according to my grandfather (born 1899), is:
