JAMES ALEXANDER STEVENS, another son of John Stevens, the engineer, was born in New York City, January 29, 1790, and died in Hoboken, October 7, 1873. He was graduated from Columbia College in 1808 and was admitted to the bar of New York in 1811. With Thomas Gibbons he established the Union Steamboat Line between New York and Philadelphia, which led to the suit of Ogden v. Gibbons – a suit memorable for the decision which placed all the navigable waters of the United States under the jurisdiction of the Federal government.
