Comment

In the Crow Cemetery in Washington Parish, Louisiana there is a headstone for Augustus Stevens. He is also shown as buried in Stevens Cemetery on Find A Grave. I believe this to be the same person. There is a slight difference in the age showing, The birth dates are about five years apart. It is most likely due to the fact that the stones are older, worn, and might be hard to read clearly.

Migration Mississippi to Louisiana

1850 Census records for Washington Parish, Louisiana show Augustus as being born in Mississippi along with his brother Thomas Monroe Stephens. His sister Sarah who was born 1848 is shown born in Louisiana.
