NOTES:
The publishing date of this bible was 1861.

The events that occurred

prior to that date were entered in chronological order and probably were
copied from an earlier source.
Although this family is primarily Canadian,
the United States,

particularly Buffalo,

many of them lived in

at various times.

The name STEFFENS usually appears as STEVENS in civil and census
records from Bertie Township,

Canada and Buffalo,

N.Y.

The 1851 Bertie and 1880 Buffalo census records indicate George
STEFFENS / STEVENS and his wife,

Christiana HARP were born in the U.S.
