I've come up with a list of eight potentially useful wills in sorting out the Stephens family, perhaps we can target some as being more beneficial than others? (Slowhands, care to weigh in on this?)

Here they are;
1691 -- Thomas STEPHENS Awre 1691/155
1718 -- Henry STEPHENS Yorkley 1718/214
1724 -- Elizan STEPHENS Newland 1724/48
1725 -- John STEPHENS Woolaston 1725/43
1728 -- James STEPHENS Lydney/Aylburton 1728/455
1766 -- John STEPHENS St. Briavels 1766/6
1781 -- William STEPHENS Woolaston 1781/129
1789 -- Betty STEPHENS St. Briavels 1789/132.

You already have the two Henry's from Lydney. . . 1794/113 and 1800/152.

Perhaps if we can find some clarification on the Woolaston births that might also help in the search.

Some may tie in to these :-
