At about the close of the Revolutionary War, Stephen ran away from hisfather and went to Canaan, Litchfield Co. CT. where he learned his tradeat the Iron Works there. He was called a bloomer. (This is the job ofshaping the hot ore by hammering or rollingit. A very hard and hotjob.) He was an industrious, hard working man of exellent nativeability. Although without much kinowledge of books, he was a ready andvigorous public speaker and a man of noble character.
In the winter of 1812-13, an epidemic of fever broke out in the town ofKent, prostrating a heavy proportion of the heads of families. Stephenimmediately left his work and thenceforth devoted himself to the care ofthe sick. He himself was struck down with the fever after a time andwithin two days of getting it he was carried to his grave. His wifeRebekah later followed him, leaving six children to the tender mercies ofcharity.

Christopher lived and died in the town of Ellisburg. He weighed about200 pounds and was avery stout man. He was taken prisoner by the Britishon Lake Ontario in the War of 1812.
ONe of Christopher's sons was born with a veil over his face.Christopher thought the boy could read the future, preserved the veil andgave it to him whe he became of age.
Christopher was completely carried away by "Morman Fever". He traded hisfarm for property in Nauvoo, ILL, and went thither, accompanied by hisson Joel and his daughter Lydia and son-in-law Nelson Van Wormer. On theway, he called on his brother Eliphalet, Monroe Co. NY. He was withdifficulty persuaded to over night, lest he should "die on unholyground". " He was so nervous about it, that he could not raise a cup ofwater to his lips with both hands without spilling a part" (James MadisonEdmunds). When Christopher reached Nauvoo, he found that he had beencheated in trading property. He was promptly cured of his delusion, cameback to Ellisburg, sued for and regained his farm, and was content tostay on it.
(Date on will says May 29, 1852, so Christopher died before that, and notin 1853?)
