| Summary |
"The Stephens Family: A Genealogy of the Descendants of Joshua Stevens" by Bascom Asbury Cecil Stephens is a genealogical publication written in the late 19th century. This work traces the ancestry and lineage of the Stephens family, detailing the life and descendants of Joshua Stevens, who was born in Pennsylvania in the 18th century. The book not only covers the historical context of the family's origins but also provides an intricate account of the family members across several generations. The opening of the genealogy sets the foundation by recounting the early life of Joshua Stevens, his Welsh origins, and his immigration to America. It begins by establishing his birth around 1733 and follows through various family traditions and historical accounts regarding the Stephens lineage. Moreover, it outlines the complexities of their surname, discussions about the family estate that ties them back to Wales, and the significant events that shaped their lives in America, including Joshua's involvement in the Revolutionary War and his later migrations across different states. Overall, this introduction serves as a detailed glimpse into the family's history and sets the stage for further exploration of its lineage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
