• Notes

  "Born in Frederick County, Virginia about 1755, and came with his father to Montgomery County, Virginia about 1767. In 1775, he enlisted in the army and saw service in the Revolutionary War, as a private and as a corporal (See Claim S 7689 00 Cert. 16465, Veterans Bureau, Washington, D.C.). After the war, he and his brother, Joseph Stephens went to Wythe County where in 1787, he married Joanna Herbert and located on a 600 acre tract of land, on Little Reed Island Creek, which he acquired August 17, 1793. He built for his residence, a small two room log house, in which he lived until he could build a larger one, which he built about the year 1795, the ruins of which are still standing, and lived there until his death May 3, 1847, at over 90 years of age. His will which is recorded in the Clerk's Office of Carroll County, Virgina, WB 1 p. 148, leaves his estate to his children." 8 children are listed -- Stephens, Dan V.
