Jo,
Your query mentioned a George Stephens who m. Elizabeth Darnell. My oldest known ancestor was George Stephens b.1790 VA. He came to Floyd Co., KY. in 1839. There he took up with Elizabeth Alsup/Alsept and had 2 sons: William b.1840 and Elijah b.1843 (my g.gr.Fat.). George Stephens died in Magoffin Co., KY. ca.1879.
George is an enigma because he showed up in KY. when he was 49 years old. He must have had a family before this. No family stories exist about his previous life. No known names about his parents or siblings. This makes it difficult to research. I am stuck on George.
Does any of this ring a bell? Thanks.
