Stephen Wolverton, NJ, NY, MI
My 5th great grandfather was Stephen Wolverton. He was born in New Jersey. All census listings would indicate that he was born in 1784-85, although his gravestone indicates 1783.
I can confirm two of his children.
Asa (married Prudence)
Mercy (married David Smith)
I am decended from Mercy.
I can also confirm that Stephen married Abigail Warner, daughter of Benjamin - widow of William Salmon, possibly in 1821.
Stephen lived most of his life in New York, moving to Genesee County, MI sometime after 1850.
I believe Stephen's parents to be Stephen and Mercy Cox Wolverton.
There is a second Stephen, born in Ranlie, VA at about the same time my Stephen was born in NJ. The second Stephen appears to have spent his adult life, at least, in Erie, PA.
I have seen both of these Stephens attributed to Stephen and Mercy Cox Wolverton.
I believe "my" Stephen may have married Hannah Fisher. I believe Hannah to be the mother of all of his children, including John Wolverton, who married Amarilla/Amelia Anderson and remained in NY, after most of his family (father and sibs) removed to MI.
Other possible children of Stephen in addition to John, Mercy and Asa.
Dennis
Asher
Furman
Stephen
possibly two additional daughters, names unknown.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Debby
