Carol, all I know is what I read at some point years ago, that Stinson derived from Stevenson. Sloppy articulation was more to blame than anything, I now gather. However, I asked in part because I know several instances in which a branch of a family changed the name slightly because of a feud, or to distinguish their line from a lot of others by the same name — probably hoping to avoid confusion, because the same first names were repeated so often.
