LOOKING FOR ANY LIVING RELATIVE OF: Jack Stevenson MANSS & wife, Josephine Harlow Manss, married 1948, Hollywood CA.

All my Stevenson relatives moved to CA in the 30's, 40's, and 50's, most of whom I never knew, except for gmother & uncle. Some cousins, however, I understand, lived in Marin Co. Namely, I think, Evelyn Stevenson Walker Blankenship Davis and her sister & bro-in-law & family, Charles & Matilda Stevenson Manss. I was told by my mother, that Evelyn's last husband was a doctor = Dr. Davis? Matilda's children that I'm aware of were/are: Gloria, Roxanne and Jack Stevenson Manss.

I believe that Jack was in LA in 1948 because he was at least married there. There was also a friend of the family, Mary Nelson, who lived in/near Sausilito in the 50's.

Jack's mother was Matilda Stevenson MANSS; his father, ?Charles. Gloria Manss' mother also Matilda Roxanne ? uncertain; b. ca 1940, mother poss. also Matilda Ronnie Walker, b. 1927 - 1930 Evalyn Stevenson Walker Blankenship DAVIS, I think Ronnie & Gloria lived in the Ross Co. OH area w/their parents until approx. 1936. It is said that they then moved to California.

My grandmother, Katherine M. Nash STEVENSON, also moved w/Uncle Job E. Stevenson to LA in approx 1950-51, & kept in touch w/some or all of the above relatives. My father was Flournoy David John STEVENSON, 1st cousin to Matilda & Evalyn.

Matilda & Evalyn's parents were Job Evans & Gladys Warnock STEVENSON.

I've recently become acquainted with a couple of people who knew Ronnie & Gloria when they were young children in Ross Co. OH: Martha Slager (Gerber) Rittinger & Naomi (Murphy) Hutchison.

Not only would I be very much interested in corresponding with any relative of the above; but I would very much like them to come to the 200 yr. celebration of the founding of the Springbank United Methodist Church, of which our ggggrfather was the first pastor. The celebration is Sept. 5th, 1999.

Any help in locating any of these persons or relatives of these persons is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
djstevenson
