William & Mary (Sampson) Stephens
and Descendants, which include Alexander Hamilton Stephens
1. William1 Stephens III, born 1711; died 1781. He married Mary Sampson, born 1711.
Notes for William Stephens III
Another source says he was born in 1704 and married in 1716 (this would make him only
twelve years old when he married). (His father supposedly was born in 1692, so if he was born in
1704, his father would of been twelve years old at his birth)
William spent the early part of his life on the frontiers of Virginia, where he became a skilled
Indian fighter. He was with his brother in Edgecomb, North Carolina in 1748, but rarely remained
long in any place. In 1753 he bought land in Salsbury, a pepper corn_ase, which is still in the
hands of his descendants. About 1754 he bought land of Lord Fairfax at Winchester Virgina
where his brother Samuel Peter lived, but did not complete the sale, owing to a call for troops for
the French and Indian War. The name of his wife Mary and Sampson Stephens appear on this
deed. He went to Staunton, Virgina and raised a body of militia which he commanded as first
Lieutenant and afterwards as Colonel. He later made Lt. Col., and later Brig. Gen., in the
Revolutionary War. He was at the Siege of Charleston, South Carolina and for his service
received a grant of land of 2,260 acres in 1783. This was located in Anderson Co., Tennessee.
William Stephens and his nephew Lewis Penter had a grant of 1,500 acres adjoining. William's
wife was a descendant of the Hugenot refuge, Richard Sampson.

Notes for Alexander Stephens
Another source says 1726. One source of date of birth: Loudie S. Moffett says he was born
in 1763. This can't be. He married his second wife in 1766.
Alexander became engaged in the Indian trade, and joined Bouquet during the French and
Indian War. The Stephens and Baskins were acquainted prior to the Indian raid in 1756, when
William and Francis Baskin were killed and two of Williams wife and two children, Peggy, and
the boy of three, were abducted. Peggy (another report says her name was Margaret age seven
and she remained in captivity until November 15, 1764, when in accordance with a treaty after
Bouquet's victory, she was returned) was found by Bouquet in November 1764, and the boy was
not found until Alexander recognized him in Detroit (by a peculiar mark on his head) where he as
known by the name of Timothy Murphy, a name given to him by his adopted father. He recalled
nothing of his birth family, but Alexander persuaded him to return to Pennsylvania for a visit with
his still living mother and other family members. In Stephens Family Genealogies, 1940, it states
that Alexander served under Washington and was present at Braddock's defeat. He served with
distinction during the Revolutionary War, rising to the rank of Captain. He settled in 1766 near
James Baskins, and while crossing the Baskin's ferry at the mouth of the Juniata River, got a
glimpse of the ferryman's daughter and became infatuated. When military duties no longer
claimed his attention, he came back and again resided near the Baskins ferry. He wooed the fair
maiden and tradition says "not with the consent of her father who refused to sanction the
marriage and disinherited her for that reason". (Apparently James Baskins must of changed his
mind because James Baskins will dated 30 Jan 1788, on record in the Clerk's Office at Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, (Book E, page 117), shows that his daughter, Catherine Stephens inherited along
with the other children. Alexander Stephens and his wife Catherine Baskins settled in the vicinity
of Duncannon in what is now Perry County, Pennsylvania. In 1794 he removed, with his family,
to Georgia and settled first in Elbert, then in Wilkes County on a plantation that afterwards was
included in Taliaferro County. His wife died in Wilkes County, Georgia in 1794. He died at his
home near Crawfordville Georgia on 15 March 1813 at the age of 87 years.
At 87 years old.
John Stephens paid taxes on the land next to Cornelius Atkinson in Turbot Twp., in 1769, but
Alexander, a non-resident, paid them in 1781-82.
One of Alexander and Catherines sons or grandsons, who remained in Pennsylvania, was
the father or grandfather of Sophia Stephens, born in March 1802 in Pennsylvania. Sophia
married Joshua Craw (a letter from Abigail Harding, brother of President Harding, to Mrs. H.M.
Holden, states that his name was Joshua Crawford, and that they married in 1821 and had nine
children and that they moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio, then to Wisconsin about 1846) of
Baltimore, Maryland and they located in Washington Co., Pennsylvania. Their daughter, Mary
Ann Craw (Crawford), married Charles Alexander Harding and they were the parents of Dr.
George T. Harding, the father of President Warren Gamaliel Harding who died in San Francisco,
California on the 2nd of Aug 1923. (Sophia ancestry has been traced back to Capt. Alexander
Stephens and Catherine Baskins). (see History of Perry County, Pennsylvania, by II. II. Hain).

died in Ohio. Came with his mother and father to Georgia about 1794.
Nehemiah disliked the Georgia wilderness where his father settled. One day
he said goodbye and started back to Pennsylvania. The last the family saw
of him was when he climbed a hill and disappeared. Instead of returning to
Pennsylvania, it is thought he went to Tennessee and then to Ohio in 1802
where in 1807 he took up 400 acres of land on the Scioto River at the mouth
of Boynes Creek, and in the same year located on this land 25 miles north of
Columbus, Ohio. He married and of his children there were four sons. It is

44 ii Alexander Hamilton4 Stephens, born 11 Feb 1812 in Wilkes Co. (later
Taliaferro Co.), Georgia; died 4 Mar 1883 in Atlanta, , Georgia; buried Mar
1883 in Lawn of his home, Liberty Hall, Crawfordville, , Georgia. Vice
President of the Confederacy. He died unmarried while Governor of
Georgia. Alexander Stephens, grandfather of Alexander Hamilton Stephens,
went to Georgia as an old man with his son, Andrew Baskins Stephens,
father of Alexander Hamilton, and settled in what was then Wilkes County,
near the present town of Crawfordville. Alexander Hamilton Stephens was
named after his grandfather, Alexander Stephens. The middle name,
Hamilton, he himself afterwards inserted in honor of his preceptor, Alexander
Hamilton Webster, A Presbyterian minister, under whom he studied when a
school boy at the academy in the nearby town of Washington. The mother of
Alexander Hamilton Stephens was a sister of Robert Grier, the astronomer,
and maker of the almanac which bore his name, and which in the earlier part
of the last century was second to the Bible at the rural firesides of Georgia.
His father, Andrew Baskins Stephens, was a farmer and a school teacher.
Alexander Hamilton Stephens was left an orphan at an early age, and was
reared by some of his mother's kin people living nearby. Through the
instrumentality of kind benefactors he afterwards graduated from the college
at Athens, which is now the University of Georgia. He studied law, and, on
July 22, 1834, at the age of 22 years, was admitted to the bar at
Crawfordville. His license to practice law was signed by William H. Crawford,
that great Georgian who had been Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States, candidate for president, and minister to France during the time of
Napoleon. After the usual discouraging experiences of all young lawyers,
Alexander H. Stephens achieved success and eminence in his profession.
He was, however, soon allured from the law, and was drawn into politics. It
was as a public man and a statesman, rather than as a lawyer, that he made
his impress upon the public and was known to history. As stated by
Alexander H. Stephens; "My rule in criminal cases has been never to appear
in capital cases for the prosecution of any one whom I did not fully believe
guilty as charged, and not always then...In defense of persons charged with
homicide, I have seldom declined to appear; I have nover failed to appear
when there was the least doubt as to the fact, the motive, or the criminal
intent; or the proper conclusion from the facts, the intent and the law." "As
far as my observation goes, preachers have less character and magnanimity
than any other class of men. These are qualities for which, as a class they
are not distinquished. There are many exceptions, such as Henry Ward
Beecher and others of much less note. Still, what I have said is true of the
average in all sects. So much I have been impressed with this that I would
seldom permit a preacher to sit on a jury for the trial of any person accused
of a crime, when I was counsel for the defense, if I could prevent it. It has
been my usual course promptly to challenge for cause and for no other
cause than that the juror presented was a preacher. In some instances,
when I knew the preacher personally and knew him to be imbued with the
spirit of his Master, and a liberal, unprejudiced mind, capable of arguing
facts and of acting justly, I announced, 'Content.'" Alexander H. Stephens
high conception of the proper conduct of a lawyer with reference to
representing clients in matters pending before legislative bodies is shown in
a letter to John A. Stephens, soon after the latter had located in Atlanta for
the practice of law. It is stated in this letter, which is dated 1870: - "Lobbying
before a corrupt legislature is on of the lowest and meanest businesses
anybody can engage in. A legal opinion, professionally given, has no sort of
impropriety in it. I have given such in more cases than one. In such I
represent a client's interest before the legislature as I would before a court.
But this is a very different thing from becoming interested in procuring
legislation not as a matter of legal right and duty but of policy, and that, too,
without any consideration of the public interests." Alexander H. Stephens
was suggested for the Presidency of the Confederacy. As he opposed
secession and was in the minority he discouraged the idea. Jefferson Davis,
as is well known, was made President of the Confederacy, and Alexander H.
Stephens was made Vice-President. Alexander took the oath of office on
Feb. 11, 1861, his 49th birthday. After the Confederate Government had
been established, Alexander, on March 21, 1861, delivered at Savannah,
what is known at the "corner stone speech," in which he declared that the
recognition by the new government of the inferiority of the negro race to the
white race and the legal subordination of the inferior race to the superior
race constituted the "corner stone" of the Confederacy. This speech has
been much criticized and characterized as harmful to the cause of the South
in that it proclaimed to the world that the Southern Confederacy was founded
upon slavery. It was a extemporaneous deliverance and was never correctly
reported. From the best report of it he is quoted as saying that the
foundations of the new government "are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the
great truth that the negro is not the equal of the white man - that slavery -
the subordination to the superior race - is his natural and normal condition."
Alexander's views of slavery, so called, or the legal "subordination" of the
"inferior race" to the "superior" were made on many occasions throughout
his political life. Alexander had a love and fondness for his own slaves and
regarded them as members of his domestic household. He regarded them as
human beings and treated them as such. He did not believe in slavery,
interpreting that word in the odious setting it has recieved. He always
referred to that institution as it existed in the South as "slavery, so-called," or
as he termed it the "legal subordination of the inferior race." To whatever
extent Alexander H. Stephens defended the institution as it existed in the
South, it was from the necessity of the case. He realized that the South had
the wolf by the ears and could not in safety turn him loose. The exigencies of
the times and practical statesmanship determined his course. Alexander, as
Vice-President of the Confederacy, took no part in the military activities. He
went to Richmond and acted as presiding officer of the Senate, but
possessed no executive power in the government. He had no voice in the
conduct of the war. He disagreed with many of the policies of the
administration at Richmond and retired from its councils. He last service to
the Confederacy was as one of the Commissioners to the Hampton Roads
Peace Conference, where he, on February 2, 1865, together with R.M.T.
Hunter of Virginia and Judge John A. Campbell of Alabama, met with Lincoln
and Seward representing the government of the United States. This
conference, as is well known, was futile and unproductive of results. Mr.
Lincoln insisted that the seceding states should disband their armies and
"submit to national authority" and resume their functions as states within the
Union. This the Confederate Commissioners could not accept, as they had
been instructed to agree to no peace proposals that did not recognize the
independence of the Confederate States. On May 11, 1865, after the
collapse of the Confederacy, Alexander H. Stephens was arrested by the
Federal authorities and imprisoned in Ft. Warren in Boston harbor. The
details of his prison life there can be found in his prison diary published in a
book entitled "Recollections of Alexander H. Stephens," by M.L. Avary. After
termination of the war, when the South lay prostrate under the heel of the
conqueror, Alexander set cause before mankind. His book, prepared at that
time, entitled "The War between the States," is the best defense of the
South ever written. It is one of the clearest and most reliable historical
commentaries upon the Constitution of the United States and the American
system of government and the principles upon which the American
government is founded. In 1866 he was elected by the legislature of Georgia
to the Senate of the United States, but, along with others elected to
Congress from the late seceding states, he was not allowed to take his seat.
Later he was elected to his old seat in the House of Representatives. He
remained in Congress until he retired in 1882 to become Governor of
Georgia - his last political office. On March 4, 1883, after having served
about four months of his term as Governor of Georgia, he died in the
executive mansion in Atlanta, mourned, not only by his own people, but by
the entire nation and the world. Alexander H. Stephens, never married. He
was a bachelor. He had several brothers and a sister who lived to maturity
and became progenitors of families. He had kinspeople in other states whe
were descendants of his relatives who remained in Pennsylvania. His
brother, Aaron Grier Stephens, died without issue surviving. A brother, John
Lindsay Stephens, wa a lawyer. Another brother, Linton Stephens, was also
a lawyer, and was a judge of the supreme court of Georgia. The brothers
died in early life. He had a sister, Catherine, who married a Greer. The last
three named have descendants living in Georgia. Excepting Aaron Grier
Stephens, the brothers and sisters were of the half-blood. Alexander was of
medium stature and frail in health. During the last ten years of his life he was
a cripple and walked on crutches and moved about in a roller chair. This
affliction was due to an accident.
