About Sarah (Sally) Stevens (Morrill)
Thaddeus Stevens was a native of Vermont; however, he is most known for the work he did in the state of Pennsylvania. Stevens was born on April 4, 1792, in Danville, Vermont, to Joshua Stevens, a shoemaker and surveyor, and Sarah Morrill. Thaddeus Stevens was raised mostly by his mother after his father left the family when young Thaddeus was twelve years old. His mother took very special care of her second son Thaddeus because he was born with a club foot, which he was especially conscious of for the rest of his life. His mother recognized his superior intelligence and provided her son with a good education by taking care of their family farm and by working as a nurse. In 1807, his mother moved the family to Peacham, Vermont, so that Stevens could attend the Peacham Academy, which was also known as Caledonia Grammar School.
