Richard"s parents and grandparents are confirmed from parish records

Using familysearch.org ( which means it is only a guess). Richard Stephenson and Mary Brown’s children appear to be:

Edward baptized 1767 in Sigglesthorne batch C10740-2. Mary baptized 2 Jul 1769 in Sigglesthorne batch C10740-2. William baptized 1772 in Leven batch C10725-2 (Mary listed as mother) . Elizabeth baptized 24 Oct 1774 in Leven (may have married Wm Hall ) C10725-2. Rose baptized 177 in Leven C10725-2.

A roots chat forum shows a different set of children. Instead of children baptized in Sigglesthorne , three others baptized at Burton Agnes are included.

Hannah baptised 24-2-1769 at Burton Agnes (can’t find on Familysearch ) . Mosey baptised 29-7-177 @ Burton Agnes. William baptised 3-1-1780 @ Burton Agnes

Also, the year of Mary’s birth is shown as 1770 which differs from 1769 find on familysearch
