I have additional Stevens Genealogical Information I am adding. It was compiled by my oldest brother Richard Allen Stevens and distributed to the seven children of Donald Edwin Stevens and Mary (Sovay) Stevens. Will you allow me to join the Trusted List of Octavus E. Stevens, my Great-great-grandfather? FYI, Charles Edwin Stevens was a Carpenter by Trade and built Six of the Ten Cabins listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings. Pictures of the Camp Cabins can be found at www.Bearnstow.org. It is a camp on Parker Pond in Mt. Vernon, Maine. Thanks for your consideration.
