 Two sons of Henry and Isabella Pen 1 dleton Gaines, James and Thomas Gaines married respectively Elizabeth and Susannah Strother, daughters of Francis and Susannah Dabney Strother of Culpepper County, Va.
 It is evident from the above facts that there is no descent from Judge Edmund Pendleton, who was an uncle
 of James and Thomas Gaines. The query regarding the revolutionary ser- answered for the present. Captain James Gaines was a distinguished sol
 dier and it is very probable that Thomas Gaines also rendered valuable services.
 7S. WALKER-Samuel Walker was | private in the 9th Maryland Regi- ment. See American State papers, Vol. XIX, Claims.
 Samuel Walker is down on the list of those who fought in Georgia. Smiths Story of Georgia. List of Revo- lutionary soldiers.
 54 PUEASANTS-Anne Randolph. daughter of Isham and Jane Rodgers Randolph of "Dungeness." married
 first. Daniel Scott by whom she had no issue. second, Jonathan Peasants of hc Srceh, tissue Odiuuei ana Jane); third, James Pleasants of Goochland Ossue James Governor of | Virginia, and Susan, who married Carter Harrison of "Clifton'O. See | Slaughter's Bristol Parish, page 217. This will answer the query about the | sisters of Governor Pleasants. He had two sisters, Jane and Susan, and one brother, Samuel.
 l 6S. STEPHENS.-Ana account of the | Stephens family is given in Johnston 1 and Browne's Life of Alexander H Stephens. From this we learn that
 his grandfather, Alexander, was a Ja-
 cobite who quilted England upon the
 disastrous ending of "the Forty-five.' ''
 He settled first near Chambersburg,
 Pa. There is no mention of any brother | or kinsman who came over with him
 or settled in the enighborhood. When
 the French and Indian war broke out l he enlisted under Washington. and was present at Braddock's defeat. During | his subsequent wanderings he came to | the junction of the Susquehanna and | the Juniata, where there was a ferry. | The owner of the ferry was wealthy gentleman by the name of Baskins; his daughter fell in love with the young adventurer. and in spite of the refusal | and threats of her father she united nCT IOTIuutS Wtth SOoh oAtOA SAhs7
 the War of Independence broke out;
 Alexander Stephens served through the
 war. and at its close retired with the
 rank of captain to his home on the
 blue Juniata." His father-in-law died about this time and carried out his threat of disinheritance.. MT. Stephens then determined to remove. He had at this time three sons, James. Nehemiah and Andrew B.. and five daughters, Catherine. Elizabeth, Mary. Sarah and Jane. He went first to Ebert county Ga, but soon removed to Wilkes county, on the banks of Kettle Creeek' James. the eldest son, on reaching l his majority, went back to Perry county. Pa, where his descendants still live. Nehemiah went to Tennessee Andrew B. stayed in Georgia and was the father of Hon. A. H. Stephens. Jane never married: Mary married A Jones: Catherine, Coulter; Sarah, Hudgins; and Elizabeth a Kellogg. We see from these facts that Capt Alexander Stephens never lived in Vir- ginia, but moved from Pennsylvania to Georgia. The connection will be hard | to trace between the families of Il. and A. H. Stephens of Georgia.
