STEPHENS, JOHN D. Was born in East Tennessee, January 16, 1836. When about sixteen years of age, his father
being dead, he, with his mother, moved to Arkansas, where they resided about three years. The subject of this sketch
then came to California, coming across the plains with an ox train, and arrived at Rough and Ready September 10,
1854, after a tedious trip of five months and ten days. Like all who came to California in those days of gold,
he took at once to mining, which he followed until 1860, when he changed his avocation to that of teamster, which
he continued until October, 1865, when he came to Lake County, and remained at Upper Lake until December of the
above year, when he returned to the mines, and in August, 1866, again returned to Lake County. He settled on his
present place, in Scotts Valley, in November of the above year. Mr. Stephens married, September 10, 1866, Miss
Mary A. McLean. Their children are, Albert S., Laura E., Hector W., Augusta I. and John H.
