BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 



HON. ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS 



was born in Canisteo, Sept. 8, 1801. He is a son of Col. 

 John Stephens, and a grandson of Uriah Stephens, the 

 first settler of the Canisteo Valley, 1789. His mother was 

 Olive Franklin, a native of Middlebury, Conn. She was 

 taken prisoner at Wyoming, by the Indians, and kept eight 

 days. Her mother, taken at the same time, was killed, and 

 left in the wilderness. 



Col. John Stephens and his family settled in Canisteo in
