Hi. I believe I may have some information about one of John Stevenson's descendants. I have been looking for parents of John Stevenson b.1722, whose wife was Margaret Kincaid b.1724. I am excited to find your post. Hopefully, we have information we can share. John and Margaret had a son, John Stevenson b. 4 Aug 1744.
I believe John Stevenson b. 4 Aug 1744 mm to Agnes Stevenson b. 1745 had a son:
Robert Stevenson b 22 Jun 1772 and mm to Janet Grant Stevenson b.22 Oct 1771.
If I am correct (and I hope so), Robert and Janet had a son named John b. 1811. I believe his wife was also named Margaret.
1811 John and Margt had a son named Alexander b. 1839, who married Maryann.
If I have the right people, they went to Ceylon to become tea planters. It was in Ceylon that their son, Henry Alexander was born 16 Dec 1861. There was a large Stevenson family of planters in Ceylon.
Henry Alexander left Ceylon and returned to England after a family dispute. Henry married Ellen Brindley (late Capner). They had a son Alistair Alexander Stevenson b.6 May 1917-d.1992, who married Edith Helen Brown b.1907-d.
Alistair Stevenson received a lung wound in WWII, in H.M.Army. He joined the Showman's Guild of Great Britain, Western section in order to work to the benefit of his health.
Alistair and Edith had one son, Douglas Alexander b.1947-living.
I hope this fills in a blank or two-I hope the information is correct, too. If you can verify it, please message me here and help me fill in some information dating from John Stevenson 1722 and Margaret Kincaid 1724, and their ancestors.
Happy hunting!
