Jessica,
I am SO excited to hear from you! Stevens was my grandmother's grandfather! We
descend from Mary Augusta. I'm going to send you an invite so you can see my tree. I
have gotten a TON done on the line in the last three years, taking it back to the original
Beckwith line in Old Lyme, CT in the 1600s. Seems that Stevens' ancestor was a lowly
second/third/fourth son and so he went back to England to become a silversmith and there
started the lines that went to Scotland (ours) and Australia. Several lines still remain
in the "mother land" today. I have been in contact with two cousins in
Australia as well. Please contact me at garjohn(a)verizon.net after you have looked at my
tree. I would love copies of anything that you have--photos etc. I was able to get some
photos of Stevens from my grandmother's sister's descendants and when my dad died,
I inherited a silver spoon that Stevens gave my grandmother on her first birthday.
