Stevenson - Vickers Family History
Our Stevenson ancestors originated so far as we know in Derbyshire, England, a small county in north central England, bordered on the north by Yorkshire, on the east by Nottinghamshire, on the southby Leicestershire, and on the west by Staffordshire and Cheshire.
Our earliest ancestor that we have record of is John Stevenson, born about 1715 at Breaston, Derbyshire, a small chapelry in the parish of Sawley. He married a woman named Ester, who was born about 1719 at Breaston, also. We have the records of three children born to this couple, Thomas, who was christened in 1739; John in 1745; and William in March 1747. All were christened in the Breaston Parish.
The son John, of this family, born in 1745 is our direct ancestor. He married a woman named Mary, who was born about 1759. We have the records of five children born to this couple, Elizabeth, christened the 25th of April 1776; William, our direct ancestor, christened the 14th of February 1778; Thomas, the 26th of December 1779; Mary, 17th of September 1781; and Robert, the 25th of May 1788. All these children were christened in the Breaston Parish.
Our great grandparent, William, was married to Mary Clements, who was born in 1781 at Borrowash, a small village about four miles east southeast of Derby. They were the parents of five children, Letitia (or Lettice), who married William Simpkin; Isaac who married Fanny Shardlow, for whose father the town of Shardlow was named; John our grandfather, who married first Elizabeth Wilmott, and second Mary Vickers; Joseph who married Mary; and Jane who married Joseph Wragg.
Mary Clements, the mother in this group, was the only member of the Stevenson family of her generation to join the Mormon Church. She was baptized the 17th of October 1850, less than seven years before her death. Her husband had died eleven years previous to this.
