STEPHENS
I have a rather unique problem. My grandfather, Fred Stephens, was born, along with a twin, ED, on 30 Mar 1890, in "Salem AR". I find that there are five, count 'em...five Salems in the state of AR...in Fulton Co., in Ouachita Co., in Pike Co., in Saline Co., and, perhaps, in Faulkner Co. Now, which county should I start in??? Also, compounding the problem, is the fact that the 1890 census is, as everyone knows, unavailable. Does anyone know anything about a Stephens family in any of these counties? The father of Ed and Fred was James Knox Polk (called "Polk") Stephens, b. 24 May 1854 in, we think, TN, and their mother was Adnie Ozella Lemonds, b. 30 Dec 1860 in Henry Co. TN.
