General Notes: Husband - Thomas Stevenson


He and his wife were early settlers near Hookstown, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he was an extensive land owner; they had eleven or twelve children.

When a young man he came to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he conducted farming operations upon rented ground until 1840. In that year he purchased a property, later owned and cultivated by his grandson, William Stewart Stevenson, and there lived until his death. He and his daughter Nancy and sons Jonathan and Andrew were carried off in the space of a few weeks by an epidemic known locally as the "Hookstown fever," that baffled the skill of the local physicians, and caused the death of many. It was later believed to have been typhoid fever. Thomas Stevenson was a Democrat in political sympathy, and affiliated with the Presbyterian church.
