Young James Stephenson volunteered to serve in Virginia's militia, and led a company under General Arthur St. Clair in his expedition against Native Americans in the Ohio River Valley. He survived the ignominious St. Clair's Defeat in 1791, and three years later helped lead forces sent to quell the Whiskey Rebellion. At some point Stephenson rose to the rank of Major, as well as Brigade inspector.
Stephenson served as a local magistrate and farmed. He owned 2 slaves in 1810, 6 slaves in 1820 (half of them children), and four slaves in the 1830 census (all adults, one mail and one female older than 55 years). Voters elected Stephenson as one of their delegates (a part-time position) in the Virginia House of Delegates in 1800–1803, and again in 1806 and 1807.
Between those terms, Stephenson was elected as a Federalist to the Eighth Congress (March 4, 1803 – March 3, 1805) with 53.57% of the vote, defeating Democratic-Republican Osburn Sprigg.
Stephenson was again elected as Federalist to the Eleventh Congress (March 4, 1809 – March 3, 1811) with 57.59% of the vote, defeating Democratic-Republican John Marrow.
Stephenson was elected as a Federalist to the Seventeenth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Thomas Van Swearingen.
He was reelected as a Crawford Federalist to the Eighteenth Congress and served from October 28, 1822, to March 3, 1825.
