Parentage

Lydia was the daughter of Stephen Stiles and his second wife, Bithena, not his third wife, Deborrah. He and Deborrah had no children.

Although we don't know the exact date of her death, Bithena was still living in 1795, when she signed an agreement to transfer property in a land sale.

Lydia was likely named after Stephen's first wife, who died in Morris County NJ in 1762, shortly after giving birth to their second child. Stephen left the two boys, Job and Aaron, with his much older half-brother, John, and his wife, Rachel, to raise, then moved to what eventually became Greene County, PA.

He moved a few miles across the nearby state line into Monongalia County (VA), WV, only after all his six children by Bithena were born. Those children were Ruth [Rinehart], William, Jonathan, Thomas, Elizabeth [Knight]and Lydia [Long].

Deborrah was the wife of his old age. He was in his late 60's when he married her.

Stephen and Bithena were my 4th great grandparents through their second child, William. ^[2]
