I am related to Lafayette Stephens who was born in Richland to John (b.in Ohio) and
Elizabeth (b.in Virginia) Stephens (1850 census). John took his family to Knox County
Missouri (1860 census). I am unable to locate John or Lafayette in the 1870 census but I
know that Lafayette returned to Fountain County and in 1872 married Margaret Dove.
Lafayette then returned to Missouri (1880 census). I am trying to locate a relationship
between John Stephens with the many Stephens to be found in Fountain County. I have
looked at "A History of Fountain County" available on
Ancestry.com, but pages
248 and 249 are missing. The first paragraph on page 250 is a continuation of a biography
of a Mr. Stephens. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thank You
Sheri
