NC were her parents. If you look at the 1870 Census in Florida you will see that Richard and Margaret Findeisen went to live with their uncle Frank Stephens after Margaret and Charles Findeisen died. Also their mother Eveline was living with them. If you track Eveline and her children back to 1850 you will see Eli as their father!<br /><br />LoisLoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083804377534213152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809722000329477701.post-81802379841395956882011-11-11T21:07:10.970-05:002011-11-11T21:07:10.970-05:00I concur with Debbie Lloyd's comments - I had ...I concur with Debbie Lloyd's comments - I had already questioned the parents of Margaret Ann back in April when I initiated the first blog. Frank (Francis Marion Stephens) and Margaret Ann Richardson Stephens are my great-grandparents. As a child, my mother told me that we were closely related to Christopher "Kit" Stepehens. It is true that Frank and Maggie took in the Findeison children to raise during the time they lived in Florida. My great-great grandfather, Eli Stephens and his wife Eviline, also kept other children for a while when they were living in Florida. There were two Ward children living with them. Another tie to the Ward children, is the fact that my mother's sister was given the middle name of "Ward", which totally threw all of us. We never new why until I began researching our ancestry. Hopefully more will be found out as we progress along this fascinating (to me!) trail.<br />My thanks, again.<br />Debbie P.

They have a daughter listed on census records named Margaret Ann and the Margaret Ann Stephens Findeison was also listed as having the same birth year. Plus, that would make Francis Marion "Frank" Margaret Ann's brother. He took in 2 of her children after her death. Eli and family also lived in the same area in Florida for a while as the Findeisons. Putting 2 and 2 together I have decided to go with this until otherwise informed! There is no record at all of Christopher Dudley Stephens having a daughter named Margaret Ann. SO, Eli being Christopher's brother still makes them close relations. <br /><br />Also, I have taken photos and transcribed the Stephens Family Cemetery in Richlands. Hope it helps someone.<br /><br />Debbie LloydDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118392308112525532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809722000329477701.post-41964673491347822302011-07-31T18:08:37.799-04:002011-07-31T18:08:37.799-04:00Thanks for the comments!

If her birth and death dates on various trees are correct 26 Apr 1830 (Onslow?)-4 Sept 1865 (Tallahassee, FL), it just doesn't fit. So, we still have no answer.Mary Warshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004031867211507170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809722000329477701.post-35753183431462186712011-04-22T12:11:06.655-04:002011-04-22T12:11:06.655-04:00From my research on ancestry.com, Margaret Ann Ste...From my research on ancestry.com, Margaret Ann Stephens, mother of Mary Jane "Mollie" Findeisen Mattocks, was daughter of Christopher Dudley Stephens and first wife Mary __. She was "Mary D" on one census. Have inquired re other researchers, who may know, to see if they can verify full name.Mary Warshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004031867211507170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809722000329477701.post-50613456406528697192011-04-22T09:56:49.459-04:002011-04-22T09:56:49.459-04:00Can anyone tell me the parents of Margaret Ann Ste...Can anyone tell me the parents of Margaret Ann Stephens, mother of Mollie Findeisen, wife of Will Mattocks?
