This was taken by my dad's second cousin through the Godfreys and third cousin through the Stevenses, Bill Godfrey of Hampton, VA, during our visit to Camden on January 2, 2006. This is the plot of my great5-uncle Luke Stevens (1815-1878), where my great3-grandmother, Sarah Gregory Stevens Sanderlin (1837-1892), was buried. Her tombstone has apparently disappeared or sunk beneath the ground, but I am pictured beside the headstone of Uncle Luke's daughter Mary Stevens Kellam (1857-1903), first wife of Dr. William Dalby Kellam, brother of my great-great-grandmother Rebecca Kellam Stevens. This is in a pasture in the Sandy Hook section of Camden County across from where the Luke Stevens home once was. Supposedly he was the one who started this plot, but I have also heard that my great3-grandfather, Noah Berry Stevens (1829?-1865), Luke's nephew, was buried here as well, and he died before Luke. Perhaps even earlier Stevens ancestors are buried here, as the Stephenses/Stevenses have lived in the Sandy Hook area since the 1680s.
