Need to confirm birth date. He was not listed in the Trinity Church records; therefore, possibly was older than Elizabeth and his birth recorded in another parish whose record is no longer extant.
His will was dated 3 Nov 1784, probated 20 Nov 1784, in Charles Co, Maryland, names his mother Rachel and mentions brothers Matthew, John, Alexander and Edmund. He does not mention Barton who presumably was deceased by that time. Also mentis William and Zachariah as brothers who were not mentioned in his father's will or the Trinity Parish Register. Stephen also named sisters Susanna, Margaret and Elizabeth. In another place he refers to "my niece Ann Compton, daughter of sister Wilder," and to "my nephew Henry T. Compton." He also speaks of "my sister Susanna Swann," and "my three children-in-law, Sarah H. Maddox, Elizabeth J. Maddox, and John Maddox" which he leaves a tract of land called Hanson's Discovery and to John Maddox part of a tract called Bargain. In another place he mentions nephew William S ( or T.) Compton (Liber WB1 folio 421).
