They then sold the wagon and performed the rest of the journey on horseback, arriving in St. Charles coounty in 1814, having been on the road one year. Mr. Stephenson settled first in Howell's Prairie, where he built a tanyard, and in 1818 he removed to Montgomery county. He had 2 children, James and Mildred A. Thomas D.
