Biography
Hopestill was born about 1735, the daughter of Daniel Shaw and Judith Squires. She married Benjamin Stevens in 1760
The research undertaken by Elizabeth Stuart Stevens in 1990 listed Hopestill (Shaw) Stevens as a daughter of Luther Shaw and Judith Squires. However, Luther and Judith were younger than Hopestill. Like Hopestill, Luther and Judith setlled in Pittsford, and it is likely they are siblings, or Hopestill might have even been an aunt to Luther, but more research is needed to accurately determine her parentage.
