This is probably the Stephen who complained (to the Church) of the liaison in 1768 between William Tugwell of Beverstone and Elizabeth Tugwell, single woman. William is this Stephen's nephew and Elizabeth would then most likely be his daughter - therefore first cousin to William. This 'liaison' produced a son, Lewen.
