The three daughters of Samuel Jennings married three Stevenson brothers, who emigrated on the same vessel that brought Samuel Jennings and his family [32].

A biosketch of son John reports [55]:

John, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Lawrence) Stevenson was born in Newtown, Long Island, about 1678, and died in Hunterdon county, New Jersey, in 1744. About 1699 he removed to Nottingham township, Burlington county, New Jersey, where he remained till the death of his first wife. He then removed to a plantation in Hunterdon county, on the west side of the road from Quakertown to Ringoes, two miles south of the former village. He became one of the founders of the first Friends' Meeting in New Jersey, north of the Falls of the Delaware, known as the Bethlehem, Kingwood, or Quakertown, Monthly Meeting. In December, 1739, he was appointed justice of the quorum for Hunterdon county. He married (first) in May, 1706, Mercy, daughter of Governor Samuel Jenings, and sister to the wives of his brothers William and Thomas. He married (second) in November, 1724, Margaret, daughter of William and Mary Wood, of Leiscestershire. England, who emigrated to Burlington in 1677 in the "flie-boat" Martha. She was born in Burlington county, December 26, 1693. Children by first marriage six: 1. Thomas, born about 1707; married Sarah Whitehead. 2. John, married, April, 1739, Martha Walton. 3.

1719 A will was recorded in New York for Thomas Stevenson of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The records named wife Sarah Stevenson and Jos Kirkbride as executors. The will named sons Samuel and Edward under age 21, daughters Amy and Sarah who had legacies from their grandfather (Jenings?), daughter Elie?. The will referred to six children. Children of brothers William and John were to receive shares if the children of Thomas died without issue, after the death of Thomas' wife. [56] [57]

A biosketch of a different Thomas Stevenson reports the following. [58] However, this summary might conflate the other Thomas with this Thomas, son of Edward Stevenson. We show Thomas Stevenson who died in 1734 with a grandson named Jennings as a son of Edward Stevenson.

Thomas, son of Thomas and Maria (Bullock-Bernard) Stevenson, was born probably about 1648, and died in 1734. He inherited a part of his father's plantation in Newtown, where he lived and died. He held in succession the various offices that are within the province of a small town. From 1676 to 1678 he was overseer, the equivalent of mayor, of Newtown, and the last year also served as constable. March 3, 1684, he and his brother Edward were among the commissioners "to look out for a place of settlement next to the Dutch." October 20, 1685, he was commissioned justice of the peace of Queens county, and in the succeeding year was one of the granters to whom the new charter of Newtown was given. May 16, 1706, he was a member of the boundary dispute commission, and in 1713 he was a member of the committee to defend Newtown in its land suits. In religion Thomas Stevenson was first a Congregationalist, but after his second marriage became affiliated with the Society of Friends, and about this period began to buy land partly in Monmouth county, East Jersey, but mostly in Burlington county, West Jersey. To this land four of his sons removed. His other children remained on Long Island. He married (first), February, 1672, Elizabeth, only daughter of Captain William Lawrence, by his first wife, whose name is unknown. Her stepmother. Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Smith, of Mishaguakt, Long Island, married (second) after Captain Lawrence's death, Sir Philip Carteret, first governor of East Jersey, and Elizabethtown, New Jersey was named in her honor. After her second husband's death her stepmother married Colonel Richard Townley, of Elizabethtown. Thomas Stevenson married (second) Ann, who is believed to have been a Field. Children, four by first marriage: 1. Thomas, born about 1674; died about 1719: married Sarah (Jenings) Pennington, eldest daughter of Governor Samuel Jenings, of West Jersey. 2. William, born in 1676, died in 1724; married Ann Jening, sister to wife of his brother Thomas. 3. John, referred to below. 4. Elizabeth, died unmarried, November 27, 1703. 5. Nathaniel, born about 1685. died in 1736; married Mary Rockhill. 6. Daniel, born 1692, died 1754; married Elizabeth Willett. 7. Stephen, died about 1731; married Jane Clement. 8. Susanna, born July 12, 1694, died March 23, 1723; married Thomas Betts. 9 Ann, died May 19, 1724; married, November 10, 1715, Samuel Thorne.
