General Notes: Husband - Joseph Stevenson

---

He and his wife emigrated from Ireland and settled in Letterkenny township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, at an early period in its history. He was a member of Rocky Spring Presbyterian Church.

They had two sons. The elder one of the two was killed by the Indians, along with several others, whilst harvesting his wheat, and his two children, with a hired girl named Jennie Harper, were taken prisoners. The younger of the two children, a son, was afterward murdered, having his brains dashed out against a tree; the other, with the hired girl, was taken to Canada, but afterward exchanged and returned home. She was married to Zachariah Spriggs, and they removed to a farm near to West Liberty, Ohio County, West Virginia. Afterward they made their home in Wheeling, where she and her husband died. The "Spriggs House" in Wheeling was named for her husband, and the proprietors, the Yarnell Brothers, were her grandsons.
