William Stephens, Sr., a gunsmith, came to America from England with his two sons in 1832. They traveled overland and then down the Ohio to the Green River, where they bought 150 acres in 1854. The gunshop operated from 1855 to 1861, when Stephens' two sons joined the CSA as gunsmiths and ordnance workers. The shop reopened after the Civil War, and operations ended in 1868.
