2Morgan Co. AL 1850 census. "shows Stephen to be born 1820 and if all children born in Al as census says then they had more children born in NC, a mistake on census for birthplace, but by Ison and Zilpha's ages, believe the marriage date is correct and Stephen is oldest child. This would have been in norm with naming pattern."
