Baptism 3-3-1776 at RDC Conewago, given name as "Marya", daughter of Frans Monfort and mother Gertie Banta.
Stephen left Mercer County, Kentucky and along with other Mercer County families formed a second colony in the “Low Dutch Tract” in Shelby & Henry Counties where the related families of the Bantas, the Vories’ and the Montfort’s resided.
