Notes for JOHN THOMAS STEPHENS:

John Thomas Stephens Sr. was born September 11, 1791-1797 in the Shenandoah Valley in Montgomery Co., Va and died January 27, 1870 in Johnson Co., Tx where he had lived from about 1845 until his death in 1870. He marrid Catherine Hoback June 23, 1820 in Crawford Co., Indiana. She was the daughter of Andrew Hoback. She wa born abt 1800 in Kentucky and died bet 1860-1870 in Johnson Co., Tx.

After the birth of their first child, John and Catherine left Indiana and migrated to Cole Co., Mo where they resided until about 1844 as Peters' Colonists. They loaded their wgons andheaded forTexas. They arrived in Navarro Co., Tx sometime in 1845. As Peters' Colonists, John Thomas Stephens Sr., his sons John Jr. James Absalon, and two sons-in-law, Lewis Tanzey and James A. mackey, were issued land grants as colonists. The names of John Sr., John Jr., Lewis Tanzey and James A. Mackey are all found on the petition sent to Austin, Texas to form another county out of Navarro Co., and later became known as Johnson County. (From the notes of E.M.T. Sansom)

There is no real documented evidence that points to that name. (1) The land grant issued to John Jr was issued int he name of Thoas. It is believed that this was done to distinguish his grant from that of his father's which was issued in the name of John. (2) From [History of Johnson County, Tx] published 1985: The only child born to Elizabeth Rose Stephens [daughter of John T.Stephens Sr] and George W. Miller was named John Thomas Stephens Miller.
