Stephen also moved to South Africa with his brother William he was in the Hayhursts PARTY

Stephen came as an 1820 Settler in Hayhurst's party aboard the ship named John. By 1830 he had constructed a ferry at the Fish River mouth and in the following year had completed a windmill for corn at Trappe's Valley. In 1835 he produced detailed technical proposals for moving the Kowie River mouth from the east to the west side of the estuary. He superintended that work from 1840 to its completion with the reopening of Port Frances in 1841. He also built a windmill at Grahamstown and established a foundry there. He was also ward-master there in 1850. In 1865 Stephen and Rachael (2nd wife?) lived on a farm called Newton, presumably renting.
