Additional Notes: Monroe Stacy
Stephens was the son of William Anderson STEPHENS and and Mary Sarah

They also had sons named William Franklin STEPHENS born June 1, 1837 Henry
Co., VA who married Sarah J. TWOMEY in Hickman County, TN on January 18,
1866. This would most likely be the same as the above William T.
STEPHENS. They also had another son named John Richard STEPHENS
born August 8, 1838 Henry Co., VA and died in Fort Smith, Sebastian Co.,
AR., and this is most likely the same as John R. STEPHENS listed in hh
of Monroe and Elizabeth TOTTY STEPHENS above. Interesting to
see that he was also in Sebastian County, Arkansas where John W. TOTTY
moved to prior to 1880. They also had a daughter Julia STEPHENS
who married a Tom KELLEY, my grand father Green Whitfield TOTTY was living
in the HH of Thomas or Otho B. KELLEY in the 1900 Census for Montague Co.
