8469	Sons of George and Elizabeth Crawford: George and Elizabeth Crawford apparently had two sons, Robert and William. William was a veteran of the American Revolution and received a land grant in Kentucky for his service after the war. Apparently, both brothers moved to Shelby County, KY. Many family trees I have found list William Crawford (the veteran) as the father of William Crawford (born in 1769 and died in 1852) who married Nancy Denbo. However, I believe that Robert was the father of the second William. Reasons: (1) The will of Robert Crawford (died about 1803-1804, Hardin County, KY) lists a William Crawford married to Nancy Denbow as an heir. If Robert had children of his own, it seems unlikely that he would name a nephew as an heir. From Diaspora-Vol.-3-No.-3-1996.pdf: "Deed “heirs of Robert Crawford”, included Robert and Marion Denbow, William Crawford and wife (Nancy Denbow), John Crawford and wife (Polly, daughter of Solomon Denbow), and William and Peggy Highfield. (2) The William Crawford who was a veteran of the American Revolution is listed as having been born in 1762 (d. 1839, Shelby County, KY) on an application for the Sons of the American Revolution, which would make him too young to have been the father of the other William Crawford. I found reference to the birth year of Robert Crawford as being 1750, so he was older and old enough to father the second William.	CRAWFORD, Robert (I26399)
8470	Sophia (went by Sophie) Mary Stevenson was born Aug 19, 1872 in Chazy, Clinton, New York. Her parents were John and Sophia (Kennon) Stevenson. She seems to have spent a lot of her lifegoing between New York City and Clinton County, New York, either Chazy or Plattsburgh. In 1880, her mother Sophia took Sophie and her two brothers, Albert and Pierre, out to Chicago,Cook, Illinois. It seemed more like a trip rather than a permanent move as during this time at least her brother Albert was visiting their uncle Albert Kennon in Nodaway, Adams, Iowa. Sophie's mother died in 1889 when Sophie was 17. Her father passed away a few months later in 1890. Her mother's half-sister, Mary E. (Luther) North, died in 1892 and in her will of Apr 16, 1892 left Sophie the following: 'After all my lawful debts are paid and discharged, I give and bequeath to Sophia M. Stevenson all the contents of my dwelling house,except two plaid blankets, two flannel sheets, one Rose blanket, one feather bed and pillows, one looking glass with gilt frame, one bed room set, six silver teaspoons, two silver dessert spoons, one what not, one small stand, one white quill, one small stand, one coal stove.' On June 20, 1892, Sophie Stevenson married Frederic Thomas Stetson (1868-1919) in Brooklyn, New York. Fred Stetson had just graduated from the West Point Military Academy a week or two earlier and had been commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant, 4th US Army. During the next several years, Sophie went with her husband out west. Their eldest child, Allyn Fillmore Stetson,was born June 1893 in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai, Idaho. Their second son, Raymond Reed Stetson, was born November 1894 in Lincoln, Spokane, Washington. Sophie and the boys then moved back to Champlain, Clinton, New York and lived with Fred Stetson's uncle and guardian, Thomas Stetson. Fred remained in the service being stationed in various places, serving in the Spanish American war and the Phillipine Insurrection until he resigned in 1900 at the rank of 1st Lieutenant, 3rd US Army. Fred then went to law school in Albany, New York and began practising. In February 1907, Sophie and Fred had their third child Francis Lynde Stetson (known as Stet) while they were living in the Bronx, New York at Montgomery Av. and 177th Street. Stet was named after a cousin of Fred Stetson who was a prominent lawyer in New York City. As family stories go, Sophie was a bit of a schemer and hoped that by naming her child after the wealthy relative, there might be some benefit after the namesake died. (As it turned out, Francis L. Stetson, the younger, was able to go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, graduating 1928). In 1910, Sophie and Fred with Francis were back north in Champlain, Clinton, New York. From pension application records, it appears that Fred seems to have become more and more mentally unstable after retiring from the army in 1910. After 1910 until his death in 1919, Fred Stetson seems to have spent the majority of his time in hospitals. During this time, Sophie got training to become a school teacher in the New York City Schools and worked to pay bills. Both her sons, Allyn and Raymond, went to Williams College and both fought in the first World War. About 1913, Sophie applied for admission into the Daughters of the American Revolution based on her ancestor Josiah Goldsmith(1744-1816), who in 1777, was in Captain Christopher Webber's company, Col. Benjamin Bellow's regiment, New Hampshire militia, which marched to reinforce the garrison at Ticonderoga. He was born in Wenham, Massachusetts. She was noted to have purchased an insignia and bar in 1914. Once times got really tough, after Fred Stetson's death and his pension stopping, Sophie resigned her membership in April 1921. Sophie applied for a widow's pension from the US Military but it took several years and lots of paperwork before $12 a month was granted to her.

JUN 1941 - OCT 1954, 227 Riverside Dr., New York, New YorkJul 1941 - Aug 1947 RFD 2, Plattsburgh, New York. Sophie remarried April 10, 1926 William Grant Thompson (ca.1866-1940) in Plattsburgh, Clinton, New York. They lived in NewYork City. In 1940, William died having commited suicide. Sophie died October 21, 1954. Sophie's son Stet married Mildred Drucquer November 1931 in NewYork City. As another family story went, Sophie was vain about her age and didn't want it known that she was old enough to have children 13 or 14 years older than Stet. Mildred didn't learn that Stet had two older brothers until their wedding. Previously they had been introduced as cousins. Also Stet didn't call Sophie 'Mother' or 'Mom' but rather Sophie. Her grandchild, Joyce Stetson, knew her grandmother as 'Aunt Sophie'. In the 1920 census, Sophie was a widow and cut six years off her age and of her two eldest sons. Joyce Stetson's recollection of her grandmother was that she was quite attractive and had beautiful auburn hair. 23 Dec 1999 AT Source: Sophie M. Stetson's application to the DAR 'I was born in the village of Chazy, County of Clinton, State of New York and am the daughter of John Stevenson of New York born 1840, died 1890 and his wife Sophia Kennon of Chazy, N.Y. born 1843, died 1889, married 1861.'	STEVENSON, Sophie Mary (I5382)
8471	Sophia Kennon was born about 1841 in Chazy, Clinton, New York. She was the daughter of David and Fanny (Fillmore) Kennon. She grew up in Plattsburgh, Clinton, New York. By the age of 18 or 19, in 1860, Sophia was found living in the household of her step-sister, Mary E. Luther and her husband Alexander North in Chazy, Clinton, New York. Sophia married John Stevenson (1840-1890), also from Chazy, Clinton, New York, about 1861 or 1862. They were found living in John Stevenson's brother's home in New York City in the 1870 census. Sophia and John had at least five children: Grace Isabel, John Lennox, Albert North, Sophia Mary (known as Sophie), and Pierre R. (also seen as Pierce). Grace and John died as infants before 1870. The remaining three were born in New York between 1870 and 1880. Her daughter Sophie was born in Chazy, New York, in August 1872. In 1880, Sophia (without husband John) is found with her children, Albert, Sophia and Pierre in Chicago, Cook, Illinois at 94 Walnut Street. That was most likely just a short trip and not a relocation. Sophie may have had her sister Helen living in Chicago (John F. Russell and daughter Natalie - this relationship is not yet proved). Sophie's brother, Albert, and his family were also by then living in Iowa. Sophie's son, Albert Stevenson, was enumerated for a second time in 1880 with his uncle's family in Iowa. Sophia died young at 48 on Oct 13, 1889. She was then back in New York City at her home, No. 21 East 114th St. She was buried at the Riverview Cemetery in Chazy, Clinton, New York._____Dates for Sophie vary leading one to believe that she may have shaved off a few years here and there during her life during various censuses. However, given that she was listed as nine years old in the 1850 census (assuming her parents gave the information and also assuming they wouldn't have reason to fudge her age) and that her grave stone which cites that she died on Oct 13, 1889 at the age of 48, these would point to her birth being about 1841. Sources on the internet also cite Sophia Kennon and John Stevenson's marriage date as 1852. Even in the mid-1800's, it seems unlikely that a girl and boy would have been married off at 11 and 12. In death, there is some lasting confusion as to who Sophia really was. In the Riverview Cemetery in Chazy, Clinton, New York, Sophia is noted on the south side of the Alexander North monument as Sophia A. Stevenson Died Oct 13, 1889 Ae. 48 yrs. Immediately following is, Sophia A. Luther, wife of John Stevenson. Luther was the maiden name of Sophia Kennon's half-sister Mary E. Luther who married Alexander North (the one that the monument is named after). One can imagine that Mary or Alexander North went to the gravestone cutter and said that they wanted to have Mary's sister's information engraved as well. The engravers may have assumed by hearing 'sister' that the last name was Luther when it was instead Kennon. There is enough evidence to support that Sophia and John Stevenson's children knew their mother's maiden name as Kennon. Sophie Mary (Stevenson) Stetson used the name Sophia Kennon in her DAR application 104625, 'I was born in the village of Chazy, County of Clinton, State of New York and am the daughter of John Stevenson of New York born 1840, died 1890 and his wife Sophia Kennon of Chazy, N.Y. born 1843, died 1889, married 1861. 'Albert Stevenson wrote in affidavits for his sister regarding their childhood and who their parents were. (23 Feb 2000 AT)Sophia married John Stevenson (1840-1890), also from Chazy, Clinton, New York, about 1861 or 1862. They were found living in John Stevenson's brother's home in New York City in the 1870 census. Sophia and John had at least five children: Grace Isabel, John Lennox, Albert North, Sophia Mary (known as Sophie), and Pierre R. (also seen as Pierce). Grace and John died as infants before 1870.

8481	Stephen Sherwood had a mine in Trinity County, CA He was one of the original settlers of White Rock, a ghost town now. He was there from about 1880-1894. He is buried there with his youngest son Wills. Another son, Orin, also died in that area (Weaverville).I believe Stephen went down to San Francisco several times for different reasons. In fact he may have spent some Winters there (possibly with Carrie and her family)." Stephen Sherwood appears in the 1880 census in Hoboken, Trinity Co., CA, as b. c. 1812, PA, as a widower and a miner, with his father b. in NY and mother in Germany. Grant Davis, 2009	SHERWOOD, Stephen (I26477)
8482	Stephen Wilburn is believed to be son of William Wilburn. (Probable only) William was son of Richard Wilburn and the proof of this is in 1805-50 Highland OH court records which shows the connection between Richard of Highland OH and William (his son of Giles, VA.) Other records regarding Stephen can be found in the collection of Giles,VA records including his will and also his marriage date in Giles, VA.	WILBURN, Stephen (I17974)

8495	The "Baltimore County Families " book lists Christopher Jr. and Ezekiel as children of Christopher and Sarah. The 1790 census for Maryland lists a Samuel Cole as a son of Christopher. A Thomas Cole died in Jefferson County, Ohio in 1808, and his will stated that he was a son of Christopher. The Jefferson County Historical Association assembled a "Cole Family Document" that lists these four Coles (Christopher Jr., Ezekiel, Samuel and Thomas) and six other additional Coles (Mordecai, Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, John and William) as children of Christopher and Sarah Cole. There were two other Coles who were in Jefferson County in the early 1800's who could have been sons of Christopher and Sarah: Mordecai Cole , who died in Jefferson County in 1813 and William Cole who married Anna Talbot.	TIPTON, Sarah (I827)
8496	The "Baltimore County Families " book lists Christopher Jr. and Ezekiel as children of Christopher and Sarah. The 1790 census for Maryland lists a Samuel Cole as a son of Christopher.

8497	The "Bedford Free Press" writes that Isaac Phillips, aged 71, b. Washington Co., OH is attending a reunion in Ohio. He has been a Taylor County resident for four years.	PHILLIPS, Isaac (I391)
8498	The "Hartford Book of Distributions" states "Severall Parcells of land in Hertford upon the River of Conecticott belonging to Thomas Blisse son and to his heirs forever" Dated February 1639/40.	BLISS, Thomas (I2396)
8499	The "lawful son and heir" of James Kennan was one John of that name. He was born, we must assume, somewhere around 1670. He, too, seems to have had a prominent place in the Dumfries community, occupying at some point the position of bailie. And he seems to have had a number of sons, the first of whom, another James, dutifully named after his grandfather, was born in 1693, the remaining births stringing along until 1709. Is it permissible to suspect that this second James was the father of a third one who, born somewhere around the years 1715-1720, emigrated to New England and became the first of the American Kennans?"	MACKENNAN, John (I24040)
8500	The "Quaker City" arrived back in New York having sailed from Bermuda. Mrs. Nina D. Larrowe, San Francisco is listed as a passenger upon the ships arrival in St. George, Bermuda. The itinerary of the five month trip can be found here. Scroll down to read the list Mark Twain's letter to the editor of "The Herald" reprinted in "The Innocents Abroad" indicates that perhaps the excursion wasn't as wonderful as he had envisioned. "The pleasure ship was a synagogue, and the pleasure trip was a funeral excursion without a corpse. (There is nothing exhilarating about a funeral excursion without a corpse.) A free, hearty laugh was a sound that was not heard oftener than once in seven days about those decks or in those cabins, and when it was heard it met with precious little sympathy." Chapter 61	CHURCHMAN, Nina (I16394)
