Stephen lived in the house given him by his father Samuel, which adjoined the 
homestead, both on Water Street and facing the Merrimac River. He worked at his 
trade in the shipyard nearby founded by his grandfather Joseph.
 He was a member of the Presbyterian church and a constant reader of the Bible. The 
large English edition of Flavel's sermons was a pleasure to him, and its well-worn 
pages showed its constant perusal.
 He made his will Aug. 4, 1813. His widow Abagail sirvived him 15 years when the 
property was divided. His daughter Elisabeth Stavers received the homestead, and 
daughter Rebecca Cook received Stephen's own residence. The balance went to his 
son Nathaniel and to the children of his son Samuel who lived out of the state
