This photo is from my collection, handed down from the Stevens. Patrick Stevens was raised for a time, 1827- 1836, along with his Phinizy cousins, by Matilda Stewart Phinizy at Bowling Green several miles from Oak Hill. Where he went after Matilda died we do not know, though he was by then 13, and may have returned to Oak Hill. Ferdinand went on to become the wealthiest man in Georgia (rails and commerce), while his younger brother Jacob fell at 2d Bull Run commanding the Oglethorpe Rifles, 8th Ga. Regiment.
