Section XIX.

Robert, son of Capt. James Stephenson, one of the Four, and his wife, Nellie, born in 1776, married and went West. I know nothing of his family.

William Stephenson, son of the above James, born in 1779, was a soldier in the War of 1812. He gained distinction for bravery and gallant services at the Battle of New Orleans. He volunteered from Tennessee. He never married.

Rebecca, the youngest daughter of James Stephenson, one of the Four, and his wife, Nellie, was born in South Carolina in 1781. She married Hugh Campbell in Tennessee. They reared a family—four sons and one daughter—in Maury County, Tennessee, near Spring Hill. The oldest daughter of Hugh Campbell and Rebecca Stephenson, Ann Eliza, married A. L. Stephenson, my oldest brother. They have been spoken of under the head of William Watson Stephenson.

The oldest son, "Tiry," died unmarried. He was a mechanic, and is buried at Leighton, Alabama. The next son, Zeno Stephenson Campbell, married and reared a family near Spring Hill, Tennessee. George Washington Campbell, another son, married and reared a family in Tennessee. James Madison Campbell, the youngest son of Hugh Campbell and his wife, Rebecca Stephenson, never married. He was killed at the Battle of Monterey, Mexico, September, 1846.
