Death

Probate

His widow Elizabeth was appointed administratrix on 31 January 1714/15. His inventory was made in Duxbury on 8 February 1714/15.^[8] Vinton refers to Plymouth Probate, 3:342. It seems likely that Stephen died in the winter of 1714. Vinton, referring to Plymouth Probate, 3:421, has that Stephen's eldest sons, Benjamin and John, had by deed from Stephen, in his life-time, one-half of his lands at Dartmouth, and to have his homestead in Duxbury, after their mother's decease. Six other children (Cornelius, Hannah, Mary, Elizabeth, Dorcas and Abigail) were to share among them the other half of his lands in Dartmouth, and some lands in Duxbury.^[9] The maiden name of Stephen's wife and widow, Elizabeth, doesn't seem to appear in records. ^{[10] [11] [12]}
