(Jody Gray): I’ve been trying to “tie-up-loose-ends” for my Selah Murray Stevens Project (“finding his parents”)... so that I can update my family and my Ancestry.com Family Tree and my Geni.com Family Tree (with Blog Post Links, especially for others who are doing research for their family trees). I’ve narrowed it down to two Blog Posts connecting all the Stephens/Stevens Family Blog Post Links; this one (for continued and future research) and the following one (for those mostly completed)

Blog Post (Historical Misc): Stevens, a “first family” in America
http://historicalandmisc.blogspot.com/2016/05/stevens-first-family-in-america.html This is an “on-going” project… reminder: I need to review, some information has changed since I created this Blog Post… Col. Thomas Stevens (?) He was the armorer of Buttulph Lane, London, who was contracted with the Massachusetts Bay colony and government in March, 1629, for a supply of arms. He was a member himself of the Massachusetts Bay Company, gave fifty pounds to the common stock and sent three sons, Thomas, Cyprian and Richard, and one daughter to New England.

Blog Post (Historical Misc): John Stephens b. 1603 Immigrated to Guilford, Conn. 1639
http://historicalandmisc.blogspot.com/2016/05/john-stephens-b-ca-1603-immigrated-to.html ... John Stephens was, as already seen, in family connection with the family of Oliver Cromwell, being own cousin of Hester Stephens Neale, who by marriage was cousin to the Protector. He was also cousin of Thomas Stephens who married into the same close kinship... after the arrival of John Stephens, whose Fowler relative also arrived there evidently by some mutual understanding… with both of which families the Stephenses became allied by marriage; and the Meggs (Meigs) family of the manor of Bradford Peverel, co. Dorset, with whom they twice intermarried, and were in intimate contact for several generations... and the Chittendens who had seen military service with William of Orange in the Netherlands... There were the Baronet family of Sheaffes, the Chatfields, Wilcoxes and other Englishmen of gentle blood… His will, which was made August 27, 1670, he sealed, but was too feeble to sign. It was however admitted, and is preserved in the original in the State House of Connecticut at Hartford…
III. Hon. Thomas, an officer in the military expedition against the Dutch of New York during the War between England and the Netherlands, 1654. His name originally spelled "Stephens" in the records, and so spelled in his father's will, came to be Steuens and Steevens, which latter his descendants continue. He was one of the founders of Killingworth, Conn., and was a member of the General Court, or Legislature of Connecticut, 1671--1683. He married Mary Fletcher, and died November 18, 1685.
IV. Mary, who married first Harry Kingsnorth, Esq.,3 1669, John Collins, of Guilford, Conn. She died 1700.
Ancestral and genealogical record of the Stevens family of Norfolk, CT. by Nathaniel Benjamin Stevens. Pub. 1896.
This family descended from William, the second son of John, whom, it is believed was the first person, bearing the name “Stevens,” who came to Connecticut… Thomas and John Stevens came from the County of Kent, England, prior to 1646 *Note: I have not (recently) checked this lineage against my Ancestry.com Family Tree…
