Hi,

I seen you were talking about Stephenson and was
wondering if you might have a Bennie Stephenson
listed in your Stephenson clan? He was born
October 28, 1891 and died September 15, 1973,
Billings, Christian Co., Mo. Buried Ruddick Cem,
Garifield, Benton Co., Ar. He married my
Grandmother after he husband passed away,
sometime after 1934. Her name was Mintora
Abigail (Lee) Wilhite. Thanks for your time.

Sharon Wilhite Day
