I'm researching the Stephens line. My ancestors married into the Steens and the Stevens families. I 'm from the Eli T.(b.1792) and Susanna Stephens family through their son Barnabus T. (b.1818) and his son William Eli Stepehns. Eli's sister Mary (b. 1790) married Eisha Stevens Sr. then Elisha Jr. (b. 1804) married Frances E.Stephens daughter of Eli Thomas and Susanna Stephens. Alexander Q. Stephens (b. 1820)married Mary Agnes Steen (b.1822)daughter of William Steen II & Mary Enochs Steen. John Henry Stephens (son of Eli & Susanna) married Narcissa Steen. I think I have it all straight. The Stephens and Stevens tried to keep their names straight in Gonzales, Texas. Sometimes when they conducted business they got spelled differently by someone writing down what they "heard" but for the most part they were careful. The Steens, Stevens, and Stephens sure are related. Then there is the Shuler family that married into the Stephens and were later marrying aunts, etc. It is scary to think about how close the relations were. I have most documented. If you have info to share let me know. You can email me at mrsc1946@earthlink.net Thanks, Pat Corn
