Notes for John Henry Stephens

Excerpt from The History of Craighead County:
"John H. Stephens is a substantial farmer of Craighead County, and was born in Bedford County, TN., June 7, 1826 and settled in the Big Creek Settlement in 1850. His father, Wiley Stephens, was a native of North Carolina, and a very successful farmer until his death in 1873. His mother, Mildred (Carlisle) Stephens, was also a native of North Carolina, and both she and her husband lived consistent Christian lives, and were members of the Baptist Church. After her husband's death, she was married to H. Smith, and died in 1886. J. H. Stephens was the eldest of eight children, only two others, William S. and Leander, the youngest, now living. He has 295 acres of land, half of which is very rich farming land, and of this he has cleared about eighty acres. He also gives much attention to stock raising, and owns many fine horses, mules, and Poland-China hogs. He is a Mason, and a member of the Grange, and is popular among his many friends. Both he and his wife, who is a member of the Methodist Church, are liberal to all progressive enterprises."
