Excerpt from Genealogy of the Stevens Family, From 1635 to 1891: Tracing the Various Branches From the Early Settlers in America This very imperfect genealogy has been gathered into this present form for the purpose of holding fast and placing on record what dates and facts we have of the past and honored history of the stevens families 0l New England. The sub scriber has, after much time and correspondence, secured enough in the way of historical events to make an interesting beginning, so that others of the name may fill up the blank pages, take up the work where I leave off, and so make by rearranging and re compiling the following record, with what may be added, a complete stevens genealogy, in which the numerous descend ants of the New England ancestry may take a just and pardon able pride. Although for many years it has been my earnest desire to write out and preserve my family's history, it is only within the past four years that I have come into the possession of the greater part of the historical contents of this book, through the kindness of Mr. Theo. D. Rogers, of Norwalk, Conn., Mr. Hiram stevens, of New Haven, Conn., and my sister, Mrs. Sarah S. Stevens, of Danbury, Conn., enabling me to present this brief edition.
