Edmund Waller is linked here to his second wife, Jane Griffen who died 3 July 1864. She was the mother of Ezekiel Pickens Stephens (1819-1899). His first wife was Agnes Robinson, daughter of William Robinson & Agnes Smith Robinson of Spotsylvania County, Virginia.
A sister of Agnes Robinson, Lucy, married James Nelson (1759-1825). Their daughter Agnes married Benjamin Stephens who was the brother of Edmund Waller Stephens.
Another daughter of Lucy Robinson & James Nelson, Elizabeth Louise Nelson married William Stephens, a brother of Edmund Waller Stephens.
And so, not only did first cousins marry, but so did double first cousins.
Edmund settled in South Carolina around 1800, intending to make it his home. His father and mother were in the party he led down the National Road from Virginia. In only a few years, all members of this family group had either died or had gone to Boone County, Kentucky to make a new home.
