He was then in the prime of life, and a splendid specimen of physical manhood. ... he started on foot on a journey of exploration, leaving his family at home, not wishing them to undergo the perils of such a hazardous expedition. The two men arrived safely in Washington county, Penn. and Mr. Stephenson took up...500 acres of choice land, four miles southeast of Burgettstown. A humble cabin was soon erected some rude improvements made, and a crop of corn planted. ... then returned to West Virginia...The entire family were soon located in their pioneer home, which was afterward supplanted by a larger log cabin. The wife and mother died December 14, 1789, and for his second wife Mr. Stephenson was married to Martha Barr, the following children being born to their union: Benjamin, Richard, Joseph, Achsah, and John. The land increased in value as civilization progressed, and at the time of his death Mr. Stephenson was a wealthy man. He died in 1813, being followed by his wife in 1816. The comforts and luxuries of our modern days are largely due to the patient effort and brave courage of these early pioneers. James Stephenson, a son of James and Rachel Stephenson, was born August 5, 1784, passing his boyhood among the exciting and dangerous scenes of frontier life..."
