Article on William Stephenson
I ran across a 1913 article about William Stevenson from the third creek area near Statesville NC.
I descend from his brother James Stephenson.
William was born in 1725 in Ireland. James also in Ireland in 1721. Their brother, john also lived nearby.
The article says that William's family was related to George "Rocket" Stephenson and Robert Louis Stevenson.
The only name I have for his mother is Mrs. White. I think they lived nearby James.
Does anybody know who their father and mother were or how the connection exists?
If you want a copy of the article let me know.
