Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania, Volumes I-III
Edwin L. Stevenson
The Revolutionary ancestor of Edwin L. Stevenson was his great-great-grandfather, Robert Agnew, a soldier from Pennsylvania, who served under Anthony Wayne. The earliest known of the Stevenson family to come to America was Francis Stevenson, who was of county Antrim, Ireland, where he was born in 1778. He died in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 26, 1862. He came to the United States in 1818, located in Washington county, Pennsylvania, but later settled in Pittsburgh. His wife was Margaret, daughter of Robert and Sarah Stewart, of Islandbawn, county Antrim, Ireland. Francis and Margaret Stevenson had three sons: 1. Robert, who was born in 1819, died in 1897. He was a resident of Pittsburgh. His wife was Violet Waundless, who was born in 1828, died June 10, 1901. 2. William, born November 28, 1822, in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, died February 15, 1901, at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the common schools and under private tuition. He became the senior member of the firm of Stevenson, Foster and Company, printers and binders. This business was founded by John Cooper, who in 1815 printed the first directory of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and by him handed down to his sonin-law, William S. Haven, husband of Helen Mar Cooper, who in turn passed it to his son-in-law, William Stevenson, husband of Helen Mar Haven. The Stevenson family still hold their interest and are represented in the business, which is now over one hundred years old and is conducted under the name of "The Stevenson-Foster Company". With the marriage of William Stevenson to Helen Mar Haven, the genealogical connection of the Stevenson family with Robert Agnew, the patriot soldier, is established as she was a great-granddaughter of his. The line of descent is traced below. 3. James, a resident of St. Cloud, Minnesota.
