Well, this has been a pretty hard week in our house, so there wasn’t alot of genealogy research getting done. So instead of writing part 2 for my William Stephens research, I thought I’d post my descendant chart for William instead. I sure would love to communicate with anyone else researching this line of Stephens from Russell County, Kentucky!

Hello-I am researching a relative of mine by the name of Savannah Stephens. She was born near Russell Springs or Somerset Kentucky. I am trying to trace her lineage because I need to find proof of my Native American ancestory. Any help is appreciated! Lisa
I wish I could help! I don’t have any Savannah in my database, but I’ll keep my eyes open!
Hi again! Were Savannah’s parents Polly and Anderson Stephens? If so, I may have some information. Email me a lvonlanken@msn.com if it looks like a fit!
Hello-I read through the family tree that you listed. I know I am related to Sarah Moles and John G. Stephens. I saw many other people on your list that I also know I am related to. My maiden name is Knarr. My father is Earl (Roger) Knarr born in 1939 in Shelbyville, Indiana to Earl Raymond Knarr and Esther (Polston) Knarr. Her mother was Savannah Stephens. Thanks so much!
I am a casual genealogist. I am in the line you are searching. My grandfather was Marvin G. Stephens, son of Cortez Stephens and Essie Tarter. I have, with great difficulty, secured a picture of Cortez and Essie. I would like to talk with you or even meet sometime. I live in Indianapolis. Drop me a note.
My mother remembers Cortez (she calls him “Teaz”) but I don’t have many details for his life or family. I have a list of his children, including Marvin, but that’s about it. I would love to correspond with you! I will contact you through email. Thank you for checking out my blog! Everyone starts a blog in the hopes of connecting with cousins! It’s a great way to finish 2010!
