STORRS BY REV. S.J. GIBSON, NOV 21,1849 --------------------------------------------------------------- She was Ed Stevens father's sister, his aunt, married a wealthy W.R.Storrs who was Zalmon Storr's uncle. Zalmon was Maggie Storrs Stevens' father. Ed and Maggie were related but no blood relation. The Storrs always appeared to be above common people. Only one of W.R.Storrs children married. I believe that some of this rubbed off on my grandmother Stevens as she expected great from her children and sent my mother to music college, ect. She was terribly disappointed when my mother married my poor homesteader dad. --------------------------------------------------------------From 1900 census of Asylum Twp, Bradford Co, Pa.
