Stephen probably immigrated in 1630 on the "Mary and John." He returned to England in 1633 and married Jane Hardy, bringing her to New England in 1634 on the "Recovery." He settled in Dorchester, Windsor, CT and Hadley, MA. Savage says he was “one of those engaged in the first troop of cavalry established in the country.”
