Notes
General:
Justus Stevens was born in the town of Boscawen, New Hampshire, now Webster, adjoining Concord on the north, January 8, 1819. He is a son of John Stevens, a native of Canterbury, same state, and Submit (Newcomb) Stevens, who was born in Greenwich, Massachusetts. He was educated at the Franklin Academy, near Boscawen, and Patridge's Military School, at Norwich, Vermont. In September, 1842, he came to Princeton, Illinois,then a very small village, and there he is to-day (1882). For nearly twenty years he was a merchant and general businessman in Princeton, buying grain, packing pork, and shipping all kinds of farm products to Chicago and Saint Louis. Mr. Stevens entered a large tract of land in this county at an early day, and when the civil war began he closed out his mercantile business, and turned his whole attention to farming. He has 4,000 acres in one general farm, twelve miles northwest of Princeton, and under fine improvement, and now managed by his only son, Justus M. Stevens. Six hundred acres are planted with corn annually. He has about one thousand head of cattle, the same of hogs, and usually a hundred horses. He is one of the most successful farmers and stock-raisers in the state. When he built his present brick mansion in Princeton, thirty-three or thirty-four years ago, it was one of the best dwelling houses in the state. In June, 1842, our subject was married to Miss Lurena McConihe, of Merrimac, New Hampshire, and besides the son already mentioned, they have four daughters: Mandana, married to James W. Templeton, postmaster at Princeton, and Fannie Harper, Darlene and Blanche N., who are (1882) at home.

General:
There is a lone plot for "Levi Stevens, born Truro May 24, 1828, lost at sea about 1872."
"This is a broken marble gravestone on the Allner property off Castle Road. The stone is illegible. It is thought by Truro historians to be Levi Franklin Stevens born in Truro May 24, 1828. He married Hannah K Rich who was born in Malden, Mass. January 23, 1830. It is believed he was lost at sea about 1872." 21
