Research Notes

Including information from his brother Robert Stephenson's Will in order to tie the family together and document sourced relationships. (I will come back later to include the entirety of the will)

Robert's will is one of the most important documents verifying brothers and sisters of this Stephenson/Stevenson family. In his will written 12 Nov 1813, Robert, lists his siblings by name.[2]

  1. "I leave and bequeath unto my sister and poor widow Martha Russel "
  2. "I do bequeath unto my brother George Stevenson "
  3. "Next unto my brother Alexander Stephenson "
  4. "& Sister Elizabeth Morrow "[3]

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with George by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with George:

Apparently there are two George Stevenson or Stephensons, both married to a Margaret Johnson. One is born in Virginia and one is born in Pennsylvania. I think the info has gotten skewed due to the similarities so it will be important to have sources to support our profiles. The one born in Virginia I believe to be my 5th Great Grandfather. I am trying to complete his profile as we speak.
