Notes for Ezra Stearns:
My reasoning:
Other researchers place Levi W. as the son of Ezra and Jane Paddock Stearns, however, see below:
According to all the info I can gather, this couple had 14 children, only 9 of which lived to have children of their own. Everyone agrees on the same 9 children. By adding Levi to them, it makes 10 living children.
On the census info sent to me, Ezra, son of the above couple, who married Sarah Deal had 11 children, but I only find 10 listed anywhere.
This Ezra was born in 1810; he and Sarah were married in 1830. The first child with a date of birth was Sophia. She was listed as 14 in 1850 (b. 1836). That would leave plenty of time from the time of marriage to the time of birth for Levi to have been an older brother. He was born in 1834. (It would have made Levi 16, and he would not necessarily be listed as part of this household, because he and Nancy were married at 16, (married Feb 1850) so may have had a house of their own)
As pointed out in the census info, Justice C. Stearns lived with Levi and Nancy in 1860. If Justice was a brother to Levi, it would make a lot of sense. (Of course, being a nephew really doesn't make less sense).
Also, according to the census info, Ezra and Sarah were in WI at the time that Levi may have been born. We see on that info that Levi was supposed to have been born in WI.
Also, according to all info I can obtain, Ezra and Sarah are listed on the 1850 census for Amsterdam, Montgomery Co, NY census. This could have been at the time that Levi W. and Nancy were married. Maybe Levi and Nancy had already left (possibly on their way to MN) by the time the census was taken. We do not know when they left NY for MN, nor do we know if Ezra and Sarah were still in NY for a time after Levi and Nancy were married.
Notes for Sarah Deal:
According to census info sent by Dan Sjerven:
11 children (6 living at obit, 3 boys, 3 girls, 3 sons in civil war); res 1854 to WI, 1860 El Dorado (Oakfield), fall 1860 to Freeborn Co.
1/57 Ezra Jr bought land from Mary and Ezra Crowe in Oakfield and sold 2/60 to Mary and Ezra Crowe 1865 Freeborn
1870 Freeborn
1900 Sarah now resides with Alan Latham (her son-in-law) Swift Co.
Ezra Stearns and Sarah Deal had the following children:
1.1.4.1.1. WILLIAM HENRY5 STEARNS.
1.1.4.1.2. LEVI W. STEARNS was born in Aug 1834 in NY. He died on 06 Jul 1890 in LeRay Township, MN. He married Nancy Jane Bailey, daughter of Nathan Bailey on 21 Feb 1850 in Amsterdam, Montgomery Co., New York, USA. She was born on 15 Sep 1834 in Amsterdam, Montgomery Co, New York, USA. She died on 02 Aug 1920 in Eagle Lake, Blue Earth Co, MN.
1.1.4.1.3. SOPHIA STEARNS was born about 1836. She married JOHN HOLLINS. He was born about 1835.

Notes for Archie Leon Stearns:
That success may be won in the golden west if one but has the energy and perseverance to take the hard knocks that come his way, make the best of them, and keep on trying, is fully proved in the career of A. L. Stearns of Spencer, Nebraska. Mr. Stearns was early thrown on his own resources, having made his own way since the age of eleven years.
Mr. Stearns was born in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, December 1, 1879. His parents were also from that state, and came to Nebraska in 1890, settling on a homestead near Spencer and it was about that time of their removal here that the boy started to support himselft by working on farms and ranches. He was at various times employed around livery barns caring for horses, and in this way became thoroughly familiar with every detail of the livery business, at which he has made such a success.
During 1904 he located in Gregory and Dallas, South Dakota, for three years running a livery barn in both towns, returning to Spencer in 1910. Here he purchased a well equipped livery establishment, built up a good trade, and through strict attention to business, a thorough knowledge of the country and a splendid ability in his line of work, he became one of the dependable men of his community. February 25, 1911, he sold his livery business since which time he has been employed by Dr. H. A. Skelton.
Mr. Stearns was married in Hurley, South Dakota November 20, 1903 to Nina Pelmulder and to them have been born three children, namely: Carmen M., Richard F., and Harold. They have a very pleasant and comfortable home and are worthy members of society, having a host of warm friends in Spencer and vicinity.
Mr. Stearns has always been a staunch republican. He is a member of the Woodmen of the World, and the National Benevolent Society of Spencer.
The greater part of Mr. Stearn's life has been spent in the frontier countries. While living in Minn. wolves were plentiful, the big grey wolf, black wolves and numerous coyotes being found in considerable numbers in their section. Also, black bear were occasionally killed, while dear were not infrequently seen. At times the family had as a dwelling the primitive dugout and sod house. They knew privation and hardship, as did most of the pioneers who pushed out west from the far eastern towns and thicker settlements, but were of a hardy stock who never let triffles bother them and kept happy and lighthearted through trouble and discomforts.
