Hello All, Elwyn is entirely correct (thanks Elwyn) regarding the variation in the spelling of Stevenson, Stephenson, Stinson, Steenson etc. My Co Donegal Stevenson forebears have been recorded variously since their arrival from Scotland to relieve the Seige of Derry in 1689. They are recorded as Stephenson in both the tithe applotment books and Griffiths Valuation (although their headstones record Stevenson), but their siblings in Strabane are recorded as Stevenson.
That's Ireland for you. Thanks again Elwyn, Len ________________________________ From: Carol Hoffman via CoTyroneList <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 13 September 2021 9:01 AM To: CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List <[email protected]> Cc: Carol Hoffman <[email protected]> Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: Stevenson, Stinson Katie Green I am wondering the same thing. Never heard Stevenson was a take off of the Stinson’s. You are further along on our heritage than I am. Hope all is well with you.
