Biography

Elizabeth was the first child born to the marriage of Jane Campbell and the Rev. William Stevenson.

Documents filed in 1830 with the Hempstead AR court system provide some clarity about her first marriage. Her first husband was John Johnson, who her father William Stevenson mentions in a letter to his friend William Woods of Bellevue, MO.

John's probate papers were filed in 1830 in Hempstead AR where it was generally believed he had died. However, in a document filed by Edward Johnson Sen 2 Jun 1830, Edward reports that the family had moved to Augusta KY in an effort to improve John's health, and that he died while in Augusta.

This Edward might have been his father (also called "Ned") or his brother, both of whom are believed to have been alive in 1830.

Elizabeth, or "Betsey," can be found in the 1830 Bracken, KY, census. It is likely that her brother James Porter Stevenson, who studied for the ministry at Augusta College, was living with her and the children at that time. Martin Ruter DD, a close neighbor, was president of the college. (See sources below for more info on Ruter)

At some point during or after the settling of John Johnson's probate, Betsey and the children returned to Hempstead AR. She remarried 14 Apr 1832 to John Hopkins Fowler, but died soon thereafter 22 Nov 1835. They are not known to have had any children together.
