Were
Cader Stephens and Lavina
Ham of
Lowndes and
Brooks Co., Ga., the parents of Lavina M. Stephens b-1844 in
Ga.? She married William H. Dykes in
Jackson Co. Fl., in 1865 and was in
Berrien Co. Ga. in1880-1900. She widowed between 1877 and 1880 when her last child was born. Her children were Wm. Henry b-1870 Fl., died in
Brooks Co. in 1925, having mrd. Eula Tyler, Charles C. b1875 Fl. Mary b-1867 Fl., Eliz. b-1866 Fl., Anne b-1876 and Alice b-1877. Having seen your mention of the
Stephens in
Hamilton Co. , Fl. I feel certain there is a connection to my Grt Grt Grandmother Lavina M. Stephens
Dykes. As, I have for years questioned her connection to
Cader and Lavina
Stephens and the
Hamilton, Fl. Stephens. Please contact me direct @
