I have been able to find very little on James Briscoe Stephens. He probably lived in Northumberland or Westmoreland county from about 1780 to 1850. He is listed on the roster of Captain Allen S. Dozier's Company in October of 1813 as part of the 111th Regiment of Virginia Militia during the War of 1812 in Westmoreland County. The same name appears again in July of 1814 in Captain George M. Wright's Company.

When Henry Carter Stephens married for the second time in 1869 he listed his father's name as James Stephens and his mother's name as Jane. (Henry Carter Stephens was born about 1810 or 1813.) There is a 1799 marriage record for James Briscoe Stephens to Jane Hall in Westmoreland county. There is also an 1801 marriage record in Westmoreland for James Stephens to Nancy Douglas. That would indicate that Henry's mother was Nancy, not Jane. A third marriage record for James Stephens to Winnifred King was entered in 1826 in Westmoreland county.

I have not found any other records for James at this time.
