Additional Comments:
Elmer Oris Parker wrote "When Jasper Newton Parker, another of his children, 
went to LaCrosse, Florida, to build a home for his first cousin, Henry Clay, 
son of Richard, he brought back Henry's sister-in-law as his wife, a fine 
specimen of Christian womanhood. Claudia Stephenson came from old Scotch-Irish 
Presbyterian families who were among the first settlers of present York and 
Chester Counties in South Carolina. Her grandfather, Rev. James Lyle, was the 
last Associate Presbyterian minister in the State. One of her great-
grandfathers, Capt. William Byers, was a member of the Provincial Congress, and 
another, Lt. Robert Walker, was a hero of the Battle of King's Mountain. Her 
uncle, Capt. J. Banks Lyle, was the "Forgotten Hero of the Confederacy," having 
captured over 600 federals during the last great assault on Richmond."
