Maybe I just didn’t feel like it?

Just asking (:
But either way, I was able to find a Mention of a Stephenson Family on Wikipedia’s Knarsdale Page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knarsdale“The manor of Knarsdale was held in medieval times by the Swinburn family, and in 1313 Hugh de Swinburn was rector of Knarsdale. It was later held by the Wallis family, who sold it in 1730 to John
Stephenson,
a Newcastle merchant.
One of the Stephenson family built Alston market cross. But in 1769 Knarsdale was sold to James Wallace, a distinguished lawyer. His son Thomas, for services to his country, was created Baron Wallace of Knarsdale. The family also owned Featherstone Castle, and Hodgson described Knarsdale Hall as having declined in importance — a gentleman's place of the 17th century now and for a long time since occupied by the farmer of the adjoining grounds... The garden walls have lost their trimness, the malt kilns and the brewhouse are gone. Today, however, the stone buildings on top of a high mound dominate the scene and are strongly built. The mullioned windows seem to have been inserted into an older hall.[2]”
Another mention:
https://www.thepeerage.com/p21154.htm“John Stephenson is the son of Henry Stephenson.1 He married Elizabeth Bell.2
He lived at Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England.3 He held the office of Sheriff of Newcastle in 1728.1 He held the office of Alderman of Newcastle in 1748.1 He held the office of Mayor of Newcastle in 1750.1 He lived at
Knarsdale Hall, EnglandG, which he had won in a poker game.1”
It mentions Knarsdale Hall. It is adjacent to Barns, Barnstown Foot, & Barnstown Head.
This is a street view of it:
