STEVENS.
STEVENS.
A man named JONAS STEVENS lived on the "Houghton Road," in a house between the Keene road and Mr. Houghton's, where Benjamin Kemp Jr., afterwards lived. It was the only house on the road except Mr. Houghton's. I think this Jonas Stevens was son of Jonas and Ruth (Farrar) Stevens, b. in Townsend, Mass., July 5, 1751. JONAS2, m. Sally Forbes, and their ch. were: 1. Sally3, who m. July 14, 1807, Alpheus Nims (q. v.) ; 2. Jonas3, b. (unknown) ; m. Jan. 20, 1814, Mary Allen, 1; 3. John3, bapt. Sept. 23, 1810.
1. JONAS3 STEVENS, son of Jonas2, went to the state of New York in 1818, and d. Ontario, N. Y., in 1821; m. Jan. 20, 1814, Mary (or Polly ) Allen, b. Lancaster, Mass., June 11, 1786; d. in Ill., 1845; dau. of Abel and Mary (Symmons) Allen. She m. (2), David Quackenbush, by whom she had two ch., Chauncey and Adaline Quackenbush. I note this here as it was not noted under the Allen family (q. v.) Jonas and Mary Stevens had five ch., as follows: Mary S., Sarah F., Alonzo A., Franklin, Augustus.

STILES.
CAPT. JEREMIAH STILES of Keene, m. in Keene, Dec. 13, 1768, Mary Sanger of Keene. There is some question about it, but he proba- bly lived in Sullivan for a time. He was the first highway surveyor, chosen at the first town meeting. He sold to Joshua Osgood the farm (then in Keene) where Roswell Osgood lived many years. It is probable that Mr. Stiles built and lived in the dwelling house which the deed describes as standing on the place when Mr. Osgood bought it. The Sangers owned considerable land in what is now Sul.
