Hi:
I haven't come across a Mary E. STEVENS yet in my STEVENS family line.
But there were 3 brothers (James, John and Robert STEVENS) that migrated
from Westmoreland Co., PA to Adams County, IN about 1847 - 1848. James
was the father of 12 children, and I understand that John and Robert may
have had large families as well. If Mary E. STEVENS was born in Adams County,
IN, chances are good that there is a connection to either James, John or
Robert STEVENS.
If I find a connection, I will contact you. Please do the same!

So glad to hear from you. Yes I have a Mary A. STEVENS listed as a child
of James E. and Sarah STEVENS! I have an approximate birth year of 1838,
born in Pennsylvania. So am sure your Mary Ann STEVENS and mine are the
same person. Good to know her correct birthdate.
James E. and Sarah STEVENS and family migrated to Union Twp., Adams Co.,
IN about 1847 - 1848, from Fairfield Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA - according
to the 1850 Census for Union Twp., Adams Co., IN.
If you need more information on the STEVENS family, please let me know.

History of Rush County Indiana
1888
Brant & Fuller
Chicago
William A Blair, Trustee of Anderson Township, was born in Adams County,
Ohio, April 15th, 1832, being the eldest in a family of twelve children,
born to William L. and Catherine E. (STEEN) Blair, the former a native
of Middle Tennessee, born in 1803, and died in 1870; the latter born in
Ohio in 1811 and died in 1877. They were members of the Presbyterian Church
and were true Christian people. Our subject received a limited education
and remained under the parental roof until twenty-three years of age, working
at the carpenter trade in connection with farming. In August 1862, he enlisted
in Company E, Ninety-first Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was in
active service until the following winter, when his health failed and he
was sent to the hospital in Gallipolis, where he remained five months.
He was honorably discharged in October 1863, and the same year located
in Delaware County, Indiana, where he engaged in the undertaking business
and later worked in the school furniture factory at Richmond, Indiana.
In June 1883, he came to Milroy, where he engaged in the hard ware business,
and has won the respect and confidence of all who know him. Mr. Blair is
an ardent Republican and in 1886, was elected Township Trustee by that
party. The marriage of Mr. Blair was solemnized April 12th, 1854 to Miss
Mary E. BLOOM, a native of Adams County, Indiana, and daughter of John
and Jane BLOOM, natives of Ohio. Mrs. BLAIR died in 1855, and our subject
was again married, Miss Sarah M.FREEMAN being the bride. Mrs. Blair was
a native of Adams County, Ohio, born in 1823, and died in 1878, leaving
three daughters, viz: Dora E., Austa E, and Ora Maude. Mr. Blair married
his present wife January 27, 1879, she being Miss Jennie McKee, a native
of Adams County, Ohio born November 15, 1857. To this union three children
were born viz: Edith B., Ethel C., and Frank P. Mr. And Mrs. Blair are
members of the United Presbyterian Church. He is a member of the G.A.R.
Post, No. 456
There are at least two apparently different Mann families who settled in
Adams Co. I (along with Rowena Dotson and many others) am descended from
Joseph Mann who came via Medina and Lorain Co. Ohio and settled in northern
Adams Co. before 1840. There is another family which settled in southern
Adams Co., in the Geneva area, but I have never found a connection from that
family to mine. I suspect they may have migrated up from the Randolph Co.
(or other southern area) to the south part of Adams Co.
If anyone has any information on the origins of this "southern" Mann family,
please respond on this list. Thanks.
