I am researching the Stephenson family. I am unable to connect your info with mine at
this time. Do you know the father of James Henry Stephenson? Did his father serve in
the Rev. war? I have a lot of info of the Stephensons who are descended from Robert
Stephenson from New Jersey. He was born about 1735 and had 5 sons, all of which served
in the Rev. war. They are James Nathaniel, Zadock, David, Reuben and one unknown name.
The five brothers scattered to various parts of the country. I have info on James,
Zadock and David. I hope we can make a connection.

After James' death in 1838, Mary had a illegitimate daughter, Sarah Amelia
(the father was a hired hand who helped on the farm).
1. Sarah Amelia STEPHENSON (b. 1841)
m. Cyrus FULKERSON
Mary Groves Stephenson then married STEPHEN MORMAN (I'm seen this also as
Marman and Harman) in Kosciusko County on 27 July 1846 and moved to Iowa in
1856, as did her children William, Margaret, and Mary Lucinda. These sons
were either Stephen Morman's children from a previous marriage, or perhaps
Mary was the mother:
1. JOSHUA L. MORMAN
2. DANIEL D. MORMAN
I have some photos of this family at a reunion and would like to find other
descendants with photos to help me identify some of the people. Also, I'm
interested in filling in the missing dates.
Thanks!
