QRYTEXT: Searching for George Stephens b.1790 Va. George left Va. and was found in Breathitt / Floyd Co., KY. in 1839. Some have thought that George Stephens might have lived in Russell Co., VA. before going to KY. When he arrived in KY., he co-habited with Elizabeth Alsop / Alsept b.1808 Harlan Co.,KY. They had 2 sons: 1. William Stephens b.1840 Breathitt Co.,KY. 2. Elijah Stephens b.1843 Breathitt Co., KY.

George was 49 years old when he arrived in KY. He must have left a family behind somewhere.

I have good records after 1839 but none before. I need to connect George Stephens to some of his relatives before 1839. Would appreciate any help on this dilemma.
