Person:Stephen Hussey (3)

Stephen was born in Lynn, Massachusetts on June 8, 1632. It is stated he was only the second child born in that town. This is our lineage. His daughter, Puella, married Shuabel Gorman and their daughter married into our Fitch line. He was a seaman like his father. He moved to Nantucket and there married Martha Bunker on October 8, 1676. Martha was a daughter of George Bunker and Jane Godfrey. She was born in Topsfield, Massachusetts on November 1, 1656. For a while before he married, Stephen owned land and lived in Barbados in the West Indies. He probably used it as a base for his ship. In 1708 when the Friends Society (Quakers) was established on the island, he was active in its formation and operations. He built three separate houses in Nantucket for himself and his family. Stephen Hussey died at age eighty-eight on April 2, 1718, and Martha Bunker Hussey died November 21, 1744. They had eight children:
