- Pierre R. Stevenson was born August 1878 in New York, the youngest child of John and Sophia (Kennon) Stevenson. When he was two years old, his mother took him and his two older siblings, Albert and Sophie, to Chicago, Cook, Illinois, possibly to visit relatives in the mid-west. Pierre's parents died when he was young: his mother in October 1889 when he was about 11 and his father a few months later in January 1889. He inherited some property from his mother's half-sister, Mary E. (Luther) North who's will dated April 16,1892 left him the following, 'All the balance of my Personal property and all my Real Estate I desire to be divided between Albert N. Stevenson and Pierre R. Stevenson - two shares to Albert N. Stevenson and one share to Pierre R. Stevenson.' He was found in the household of his aunt, Helen Russell, in NewYork City in 1900. He was a salesman. In the New York City directory of 1910-1911, he (under the name of Pierce) and his brother Albert Stevenson were listed as in the cotton goods trade at 78 Grand in New York City, with both living in Port Washington, Long Island, New York.
