Stephen                           Millie
Stephen was a farmer and a Baptist Preacher ordained by
Bethlehem Church on April 13th 1890. He was kind of a
circuit rider - revival preacher, a real stump grinder. He
also helped organize several area churches. Millie was half
Irish and half Native American, most likely Cherokee. I
bet she made ole Stephen and all them kids walk the line.
