Hi Sue,
Jane Holt "Jenny" was Elisha's lst wife.Betty was his 2nd.The records haven't been found thus far to give exact dates, so we are dealing with approximates.
I guess Elisha's marriage was approx 1832.Unless there was a miscarriage or a still birth, my 2nd gr grandmother, Susannah J. Stephens, was there first child.She was born in Oct, 1833 in Marsh Creek, Whitley Co, KY.She died and was buried in Spring Creek, Douglas, MO on 8 Feb 1805.
Elisha died in Oct, 1855 and Jenny died in 1844 or 1845...when Susannah was ll yr. old.I don't know the cause.Susannah was part Black Creek or Black Foote Indian.I don't know if it came from her mother or father.Jenny's father was Thomas Holt, s/o Drury Holt and Eliz. Rogers.Her mother was Cintha Watters, d/o ?.
Thomas and Cintha married on 28 Mar 1810 Wayne Co, KY....I hope I remember that date right.
Elisha's 2nd marriage was obviously after 1844-45.After I post this, I will go pull my Stephens folder and review it.I do know many of the Stephens and other families from Whitley county moved near Alma, Crawford, AR in the late 1850s.Susannah and her lst husband, Lewis Morgan, and their children did.So did Elisha's 2nd wife, Betty Meadors.Unless she married another man named Stephens, it looks as though she may have had 2-3 children after Elisha's death who she gave the Stephens name to.I don't believe she was married.
Elisha was born Jan, 18ll or 1812 to Joshua Stephens b. 1785 NC.He married Tempy Dupuy (or some form of that name).No one has found their marriage record yet, so her last name spelling, at this point, is a matter of your choice.Dupuy was the spelling when I first found her name years ago.I liked it, so I stuck with it until the proof is found (ha).Some use Dupey or Dupree, but I think that's a matter of their preference.Her family needs to be found to find out for sure.
Nice to find another descendant,
Karen
