    to me

    1870 Halifax County, VA census
    Stephens, Lewis age 19 b. NC (Stevens on marriage record)
    Mary age 24 b. VA
    Carter, Mary age 5 b. VA

    1880 Pittsylvania County, VA census
    Stephens, Lewis age 29 b. NC
    Mary age 27 b. VA
    Stephens.Louvina age 15 b. VA daughter

    Believe that Mary Carter age 5 is Louvina Stephens age 15. In both census' Lewis would have been 14 when she was born.

    Mary married Lewis L. Stevens 19 May 1869, Halifax County, Virginia. Lewis was born 1850, Person County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet]

    These named children are found on census records. Martha Carter's headstone/cemetery record show no maiden name;

    This James T. Carter married Martha McCann in Halifax and lived there all of his life. He and Martha sold land to family members, Addison Lafayette Edwards and his wife, Sallie Frances Powell, [d/o Mastin Powell,] in Halifax Co. Based on that fact, and the several other James T. Carters named for him, it is probable that he is family. Deeds define the relationships of Powells, Edwards, Carters, Wesleys who intermarry in Halifax in the 19th century are neighbors. The land he sold to Edwards is land owned by his wife's father, Paul Wesley. Addison Edwards, s/o James M. Edwards married Sarah Frances 'Sallie Fannie' Powell, eldest d/o Mastin Powell.
