NS, (6), lived in either Ross County or Franklin County
until 1816, when he followed his two sons, John, (15), and E. D., (16),
to Shelby County, where he lived with them on their farms near Hardin.
His grand-children remember how the old gentlemen used to sit around the
fire-place while they teased him by slyly pouring corn into the huge
pockets of his old Revolutionary Army coat. Although over eighty years
of age, the love of the chase never died, and he often took his old
rifle and spectacles and sat by the old salt lick and waited for the
deer which never came. (So said Richard Cannon, of Hardin, to me in
1886, who knew him well, and also spoke of his Revolutionary services).
He died in March, 1823, on the farm of his son John, (15), near Hardin,
and was buried in the old Hardin graveyard. The grave was identified to
me in 1886, and marked by me then with a wooden head board. His children
were:

DAVID HUMPHREYS STEPHENS, (10), a son of Joshua Stephens, (6), was born
in Pennsylvania; accompanied his parents to Lexington, Kentucky; settled
in Evansville, Indiana, of which city he was a pioneer; married Eliza
Wing, a native of North Carolina, by whom he had five children; she
dying, he married a second time (name of his wife not given); he had no
children by her; he was born about 1772, and died about 1843. Search
into early history of Evansville should throw considerable light on his
history, as he must have been quite a prominent citizen, one of his
sons, (20), marrying the only daughter of General Evans, the founder of
the city. He lived with Charles, (19), till his death. Was a Justice of
the Peace. His children were:
