General Notes: Husband - Robert Stevenson


He was three years old when his parents, in 1780, moved to Washington County, Pennsylvania, settling on Pigeon Creek. When he was twenty-one years of age he married and came to what is now Lawrence County, then a wild and unsettled region, and subsequently engaged in farming between New Castle and Pulaski. In 1824 he traded farms with Hugh Wallace, moved to Plain Grove Township and later died on that farm.
