The identify of his father is uncertain, however, it is likely to be William M Stevens/Stephens who appears on the 1830 Henry Co GA census and the 1850 Randolph Co AL census. Elizabeth in 1850 may be a second wife. William had 7 sons & 2 daughters in 1830. In 1850 he has children: Joseph, Nancy, John, Delilah, Rubin, and Absalom. [Nov 2022 - Multiple DNA matches since March 2022, indicate this theory is correct. The most recent match was between this memorial manager and a descendant of Joseph Herrington Stevens & his son, William Henry Stevens. See link below.]

DNA matches indicate that William M Stevens was the son of Reuben Stevens.

Clues among historical records and personal family papers once belonging to Simeon's son, Green Berry, now among the collection of this memorial manager, suggest that two of Simeon's brothers may be:
- Thomas S Stephens, b. 1813, d. aft 1880 Randolph Co AL, m. 1st Mary Amanda Adamson & 2nd Eliza Margaret Couch.
- Joseph Herrington Stevens Sr b. 1832, d. 1915 Randolph Co AL, m. Elizabeth Rampy.
- a sister, believed to be, Nancy Elizabeth Stevens Alexander.
