Hello,
I'm new to this list, and wondering if there are any others researching this
branch of the STEVENS line.
John Kelly STEVENS, Jr. (s/o John Kelly STEVENS, Sr--obviously--and
Elizabeth ?? of Lafayette, Allen Co, IN) b abt 1860, moved to Fort Wayne,
IN, m Catherine ??, and had at least three sons: William Alfred STEVENS b
October 23, 1884 who m Agnes Antoinette TULLY (d/o John TULLY and Catherine
FLANAGAN), Thomas STEVENS, and James STEVENS.
The STEVENS family were originally from Ireland, but I have no date or port
of entry. Family lore includes a story that the Irish STEVENSes spent yrs in
exile in France, and that the surname was originally ST. EVANS. The only
other thing I know about this family is that the son, William, moved fr Fort
Wayne to the Chicago IL area.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone else researching this line.
