Biography

She was the second child named in the 1738 will of Azricam Parker, and called Thomazon Stevans. This indicates she was an adult and married by 1738, therefore born no later than 1718 and probably earlier, as a younger sister was also married by 1738.

There's a very good chance that she's the Thomazen Stevens of this 1748 will. (Note that Thomas Parker is one of the executors.) If so, she was likely a widow.

If so, then her children (named in the will, this order) were:

• Micahel O'Neal (suggesting an earlier marriage? if so, would have had to have been pre-1738)
• Thomasen m. _______ Taylor; adult by 1748.
• John Stevens
• Mary Stevens
• "my other children"

Others named in her will (no relation given) include:

• Benjamin Taylor (took Thomas Parker's role as executor when the latter refused; probate doc says that Benjamin "intermarried with theSister of the said Exer so under age")
• William Stevens in Pantego
• Thomas Parker, appointed executor [her brother?], but refused, saying the appointment was without his consent
• Thomas Taylor, witness
• Gilbird Portwood, witness [sister's husband?]
• James Mercer, witness
