A HISTORY OF THE

Isaac Phares Family,

cont'd

Section 3

          This section includes:

A picture of Sarah Phares Stephens. This copy of the picture was received from Shirley Stedman, who found it among letters and records that have been handed down in her family.

An Index of known descendents of Stacy Stephens and Sarah Phares and a chart of their known descendents, compiled by Richard H. Weightman. Sources of the various items in data were not included in this chart.

A Sketch on James Stephens, Sr and his wife, Mary Anne Stull, and some of their descendents. This information was sent by Charles V. Downing, in 1978, to Wilson C. Brown, wondering if Wilson could add to the information in the handwritten summary, written by Sarah (Phares) Stephens. It is not known if Wilson replied to the letter, but in December 1997 R.H. Weightman wrote to the address shown on Charles' letter- 5345 Lancers Ct, NE, Salem, Oregon, 97303, hoping to make contact. This letter was returned, marked "Not at this address" It appears that this sketch was written in response to a request from J. P. Stephens, for a sketch on this branch of the Stephen's family. This is confirmed when the wording in this letter is compared with pages 16 and 17 of the "History".

History of Stacy and Sarah Stephens

          Father Phares came from England to New Jersey. My grandfather lived in New Jersey. Grandfather Brown came from Ireland when a boy to South Carolina. My father was a son of William Phares and Mother a daughter of Matthew Brown. I was born in Ohio, Hamilton County, Crosby Township on July 5, 1817. My father lived there until I was eight years old. Mother died, and Father moved to Shelby County, Indiana. I lived there with my father and grandfather till I was 18 years old. Pa's fathers name was James Stephens and his mother's name was Mary Ann Stull before she was married. He was born in Pennsylvania, Green County, Sept 4, 1811 on Whitely Creek, near New Town. I was 18 and he was 22 years old when we were married. We were married on the 24th of Sept, 1835 at Matthew Browns by John Golding. We lived there ten years - we had five children - John P., James N., Rebecca Jane, Stacy Henry and William Thomas. Pa lost his health and we moved to Mongahale County, Virginia. We lived there three years and a half. Naomi Ann was born. Then we moved to Washington County, Ohio. We lived there twenty years - during that time Samuel M., Sarah M., Barbary L., Enoch E., and Nancy L. were born. We moved to Kansas in 1869. Pa died July 4, 1896. I still remain but how soon or how long it will be till I am called for I cannot say.
