  3.   It seems unlikely that Stephen could have two children from a marriage in 1810. Thus it seems likely he is the same person who married Lucretia Davis and had a daughter Lucretia. No child is recorded with Christiana, nor a death date for Lucretia, but probably she died, he marriage Christiana, and he had another child by one or the other of his wives. Source:Hazen, Henry Allen. History of Billerica, Massachusetts : With a Genealogical Register, p. 9, appears totally confused. It says Stephen Jr. m. Olive Rogers, but the will of the father names his widow as Olive, so it was the father. He has a different Stephen, "of Medford", m. (1) Lucretia Davis, m. (2) Christina G. Welsh. The probate of the father indicates the son had died by 6 Oct 1812, and the probate of the son in 1812, names his widow as Christiana.
