Located at 800 West Main Street at its intersection with Holly Street in Elizabeth City, NC, this was the home of Caleb Walston Stevens (1862-1935) and Annie Lee Kellam Stevens (1866-1952), and later of 2 of their 5 children, Lillie Mae Stevens (1892-1974) and Clyde Walston Stevens (1896-1983), until 1970. Annie was the youngest sister of my great2-grandmother, Rebecca Kellam Stevens (1856-1931), and Cale was a second cousin of my great2-grandfather, John Gregory Stevens (1855-1942). The Stevenses were from Camden Co., NC, whereas the Kellams were from Accomack County on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Uncle Cale moved from Camden to Elizabeth City in 1888, where he became a successful businessman who dabbled in several ventures, including cigar manufacturing, real estate, a grocery store, and an early auto dealership. In 2007 I received an e-mail from the new owner of this home who had located my information in my website about it and was restoring it to become a bed and breakfast.
