STEVENS posted by Janet Heishman on Tuesday, August 1, 2000

Looking for any information that someone may be able to share with me regarding John Henry STEVENS. I don't know too very much about my grandfather, but I do have his death certificate that states that he was born October 18th, 1888 in Somerset/Chrisfield Co. Maryland. On the death certificate it was listed that he did not know who his parents were, so I heard that he was adopted. Any information would be helpful. Thank you!
