General Notes: Husband - John Stevenson
His father and mother were natives of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and were early settlers of Robstown (later West Newton). They were Germans, and Mrs. Stevenson was never able to converse in any language except her mother-tongue.
He was a cooper by trade but largely devoted his time in early life to teaching in both English and German schools. Later in life he devoted all of his time to farming. He was a member of the old-time and well-known "Washington guards," and was on duty as one of that body at the hanging of a murderer at Greensburg in the early 1800s.
The first of this family to come to America from their native Germany were his parents and his mother was never able to speak any language other than her native tongue. [ONW, 408]
