 Samuel is found in the following: 1913 Laborer 54 1/2 Chauncey Street

  Hello John
 Just saw your message.
 Samuel Stephenson ( name was spelt Stinson when he married ) was born 28 Dec 1842 at Ryelands and baptised
 5th Feb / March 1843 to Hugh Stephenson and Mary ( Kerr ?)
 Hugh was a labourer.
 Samuel married 5th Oct 1858 when he was just 17 yrs of age
 at Ray 2nd Presbyterian Church, Manorcunningham Co.Donegal
  (Area 45. Ray Church of Ireland church, Crossroads, parish of Raymunterdoney. Reverend F. N. Warren, The Rectory, Dunfanaghy. Telephone: 074 36187. Records start dates: 1845.)
  This was sent to me June 2012:
 Here is a little something...................... When Samuel was baptised in 5 Feb 1843 it took place at Newtowncunningham Presbyterian Church
 And when he was married aged 17
 The marriage took place a 2nd Ray Presbyterian Church. Mary Welsh was from Minimore ( aka Moneymore)
 The witnesses to the marriage were William Armour and John Brooks.
  When Samuel was Baptised the name was spelt Stephenson
 and when he married it was spelt Stinson.
  Had a look at my data base and discovered the possibility of another son. to a Hugh Stevenson and Mary.
 This was a William Stevenson born 12. 5. 1850 and Bapt on the 15 August at the Church of Ireland Raymochy.
  Also a Ann Jane Stinson born 1849 Bapt 14. 1.1850 to Hugh Stinson and Mary. Labourer of Ryeland at the Church of Ireland.
  Look at the dates it doubt ful whether these two are related.
  Muriel
  to Mary Jane Welsh who was over 21 of Minimore ( Moneymore)
 Parish of Ray Co.Donegal. She was the daughter of William Welsh. Wit to the marriage were William Armour and John Brooks.
 I have records of 4 daughters born to them Isabella born 4 May 1865; Mary born 18 July 1867; Sarah born 11 March 1871
 and Ellen born 6 Oct 1874.
 I found from other listings that Catherine Ann was born 1867, but from my indexes this is probably 1873 ;
 Also from other listings Mary Minnie 21. 5. 1869, I cannot substantiate the last two children as being children to
 Samuel and Mary Jane Stevenson. I believe that I also have records of a brother and sister of Samuel. I am particularly interested in the Stevenson/ Stephenson Family as I am also related to the Stephenson Family of Raphoe / Michigan and Wisc.
 Glad to give you some information.

  Margaret Jane Stevenson born 10 June 1861 and bapt 27th July to Samuel Stevenson and Mary Jane
  Anyone in Donegal missing an ancestor?
  I have Cornelius Rodgers born abt1810 married to Jane Reilly/Riley born about 1811 children Charles 1837, Elisabeth 1841 and William 1846, left Ireland in the 1840's?
  How about James Lowery b.1834 married to Mary Healy b. 1835 left Ireland about 1859 showed up in Ct. in 1860 then moved to N.Y. was with the Becketts , John and Jane in CT. I believe Jane was a Healy and sister to Mary.

  Some Info sent by the Presbyterian Historical Society:
  There was a family of Stephenson in the 1901 census – William aged 37, his wife, Margaret Jane aged 25 , his mother Mary aged 59 and his dau Isabella aged 1 living in the townland of Raymochy, a Presbyterian family.
  John,On the irish website irish-roots.ie I located a couple of records you may be interested in.The first is the birth of Samuel Stevenson 1842 co Donegal and the marriage of his parents Hugh and mary 1840 co Donegal.I looked between 1856-1876 for marriage of Samuel and Mary and found several for Samuel and Mary but when included last name of Welsh there were none.Now it is possible that her surname was spelt different by whomever recorded marriage.Also,found 3 birth records for Mary Welsh in Donegal;1834,1838 and 1847.The last two look good as on both the birth is listed for Mary Jane.Hope this helps,Kim
