Biographical History

John Stevens (1647-1736), stonemason of Oxfordshire, England, came first to Boston, Mass., where he married "Marcy ( -1745) and by whom he had a son, John (1702-1778). In 1705, the elder Stevens settled his family in Newport, R.I., continuing his trade while expanding his skills to include the carving and lettering of headstones. His son, John, and subsequent generations carried on the family business at Newport well into the late-nineteenth century.
