Looking for Stephen Jefferson Garner's (1793) ancestors
jcgj
He is my grandfather. He was born in either North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, or Virginia and moved to Mississippi. I have visited his grave site. I cannot find information about his parents or birth place.

noggin on 2013-09-17 04:45:36Stephen Jefferson Garner (1793) my grandfather. Something is not right here to be your g/father he would have to have been at least 100 when your father was born in 1893.
What is the correct date and who did he marry ? with correct data someone may be able to help.

jcgj on 2013-09-18 08:25:35I have visited the grave site of both Stephen and StephenII in Covington County. The question is where was Stephen (1793) born and who were the parents.
noggin on 2013-09-18 08:50:33According to the Census he was born in North Carolina but I cannot find a birth for him.
