  Nehemiah Stephens, born in near Duncannon, Perry Co., Pennsylvania; died in Ohio. Came with his mother and father to Georgia about 1794. Nehemiah disliked the Georgia wilderness where his father settled. One day he said goodbye and started back to Pennsylvania. The last the family saw of him was when he climbed a hill and disappeared. Instead of returning to Pennsylvania, it is thought he went to Tennessee and then to Ohio in 1802 where in 1807 he took up 400 acres of land on the Scioto River at the mouth of Boynes Creek, and in the same year located on this land 25 miles north of Columbus, Ohio. He married and of his children there were four sons. It is known that he had a grandson named John Stephens.
