Notes about John Stevenson

1. "Homely Musings, by a Rustic Maiden" (Jane Stevenson) written in 1870, downloaded from https://archive.org/details/homelymusingsby00stevgoog

2. In the 1851 Census, Mary Johnston is living in household in Eglington Mains, Kilwinning with her daughter, Jean Stevenson and her husband, Andrew Mclelland, and family. This probably means that the 1851 Census, with the Stevenson family, missing the Head of the family, John Stevenson, means he had died prior to 1851
