. History of Steuben County, New York, with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers. Steuben, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von, 1730-1794. 308 HISTORY OF STEUBEN COUNTY, NEW YORK. Andrew R. Stephens, and remained on the same farm during the remainder of his life. He made many improvements on the farm, erected elaborate farm-buildings, and was, in fact, a representative agriculturist of the town. He was a thrifty, active, and enterprising farmer, a man of good ex- ecutive ability, and of excellent judgment in business mat- ters. Characteristic of Mr. Stephens, as well as of his ancestors, was his fondness for hunting, and very much of his pastime was spent in pursuit of the wild game so nu- merous among the hills and valleys of this part of the county,—in his day being mostly deer and foxes. He, however, killed one bear. He was always interested in local matters, and was iden- tified with the Democratic party, as a member of which he held various town offices. He and his wife were members of the Universalist Church at Greenwood, and supporters of that and kindred interests. Their children are Randall P., who married Flavilla Porter, of Greenwood, Rozeltha (Mrs. David Parshall, de- ceased), Viola y. (Mrs. Marcus Todd), Charlotte (Mrs. George Woodward), Olive, and Mary. For many years prior to his death he was quite an exten- sive dealer in cattle and sheep, buying in Steuben and ad- joining counties and marketing in the East and New York; and in this business, as in everything he undertook, he was successful. He died, Nov. 4, 1866, at Unionville, Dutchess Co.,— where he had gone to dispose of a large drove of cattle which he had purchased at home,—and his remains were brought back to Greenwood Cemetery, at Greenwood, Steu- ben Co., for interment. LEVI DAVIS was born in Oxford, Mass., Jan. 8, 1782. Was a lineal descendant of the sixth generation from an ancestor who emigrated from Wales. He married Mar
