Biography

Trustam Stedman, born 29 September 1751 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, was a son of Sarah (Hull; 1732-1804) and Samuel Stedman (1726-1806).

Trustam Stedman married Penolepe (Hazard; 1752-1839). There were perhaps twelve children of this family, as listed in their online memorial sites (sequence approximate per known birth dates):

• Elizabeth (Stedman), b: 18 Dec 1773; married Amos Northrup
• Thomas Stedman (1775-1860); married Sarah Marcy
• Hazard Stedman (1777-1864); married Elizabeth Countryman

• Oliver Stedman (abt.1784-)
• David Coredan Steadman (abt.1788-1871); married 1) Lydia Baird; 2) Elizabeth Hannah Wade
• Arnold Welcome Stedman (abt.1790-1880); married Jerusha Whapples
• Samuel Stedman (1794-1870); married 1) Lydia Smith; 2) Dilla Darby
• Perry Freeman Stedman b: ? Died abt 1824 in Tyringham, Mass.

The Trustam and Penolepe Stedman family resided principally in western Massachusetts, in or near Tyringham, where all of the children were born. In later life, they migrated to central New York State, settling in or near Lee, in newly laid out Oneida County (note that this was not the village of Oneida, in Madison County).

Trustam Stedman died 3 November 1841 in Oneida County, New York. His grave is in Evergreen Cemetery, Lee, Oneida County, New York, USA ^[2].

Notes

Trustam's given name may have been spelled variously as Tristam, or Tristram, however there is no evidence of such. His grave marker is inscribed Trustam. As listed, he did have a son named Tristrim (per his grave marker).

Likewise, his wife's name has been variously spelled Penelope Hazzard, or variations thereof, however the only evidence supporting her profile gives her name as Penolepe T. Hazard, as is carved into her grave stone.
