Biography
Stephen was born in 1789. He passed away after 1838.
He was married to Sarah (b.1791).
Who Are GU272?
In 1838, the Maryland Jesuits sold more than 300 enslaved people to sugar plantations in southern Louisiana, in order to rescue Georgetown University from bankruptcy. In all, the Jesuits sold 314 men, women and children over a 5-year period stretching from 1838 to 1843. Today, these enslaved people are known collectively as the “GU272 Ancestors.” Genealogists have identified many of the original people who were sold, along with 8,425 of their descendants, living and dead.
