- From findagrave.com memorial 196503941:
It is not known for certain that William Jasper (went by Jasper) Stevenson is buried at Mountain View cemetery in Des Arc like his wife. Family oral history suggests he is buried in an unmarked grave there.
William Jasper (went by Jasper) Stevenson was the eldest of ten known children of Henderson C. Stevenson (1818-c1870-76) and Angeline McFadden (1820-c1876-80), who married c1838 in presumably Wayne County, Missouri though a marriage record for them can't be located as the early Wayne County records burned during the Civil War.
Jasper married Christa Ann Charlton (Carlton?) (went by Christiana) (1843-1898) in c1863 in presumably Missouri though a marriage license for them can't be located. Jasper and Christiana were the parents of four known children, namely:
1. Eliza Angeline Stevenson Adams (1864-1939)
2. Laura Casana Stevenson Long (1867-1914)
3. Willie (Awilda?) Stevenson Seal (1870-1951)
4. William Jasper Stevenson Jr. (1873-???)
In 1870 Jasper, Christiana and the first two children were living at Iron County, Missouri. Christiana is said to be part Cherokee Indiana. After Jasper died, Christiana remarried to Daniel Lewis (1855-1931) on 28 Mar 1875 at Iron County, Missouri. Christiana and Daniel were the parents of five additional known children (b. 1876 to 1886).
