Carolyn,
Thank you very much for all the effort you obviously put into answering my query, and I'd like to compliment you on your deducing skills as the conclusions you reasoned out were accurate.
After studying the facts you found, I entered John and Caroline Rush Stephens' names into google, and, to my surprise, came up with a heap of data about all lines of Etheline Stephens' ancestors.
I'll need to study the researchers' sources before I'll feel comfortable entering their findings in any family records.Stella Cotrill's website is one which has a lot of information on the descendants of Henry Stephens, but there were a few other places I found through google with information about Etheline/Ethelene's ancestors.
You'll be able to see exactly where the people you found, and figured were relatives, fit into Etheline's family tree.
Dates, locations, etc. can be found in rootsweb.com for the family lines of these ancestors.I could have entered more names, but I found that different researchers were coming up with conflicting names, and I decided not to research it myself, at this time.
STEPHENS:
John B. Stephens / Caroline Rushd/o Stephen / Eliz. Syphers
Henry Stephens / Nancy Campbelld/o John Campbell / UNK
James "Shuck" Stephens / Anna Maria "Mary Ann" Stull
John Stephens / UNK
RUSH:
Stephen A. Rush / Elizabeth Syphersd/o Abraham Asbury Syphers/ Christina Eliz. Strosnider
Michael Rush / Anna Livengoodd/o Peter Rush/
This is my granddaughter's family, unrelated to me.I'm working on her family tree.I am related to Moses Stephens out of SC, NC, KY, and was very curious if our two Stephens lines were related.Doesn't seem so.Etheline md. C.H. James.I also have a James line and was wondering if our James line were related, but that doesn't seem to be the case either.I came across a Rush in my line, but I don't remember where they fit in.As soon as I stumble upon my Rush line again, I'll see if they connect with Caroline's father.
If I've learned nothing else in working on genealogy, I've learned that I'm my own cousin [lol]!
Thanks, again, Carolyn.You are very helpful and do very good work.
