 Sage History stated:
 
 "Stephen was probably born about 1759; at any rate, he was older than
 Timothy who was born in 1761.  Nothing whatever is known of the date
 or birth of Keziah THURSTON.  They were married about 1788-9 at
 Stephentown as nearly as can be determined;  We have no record of the
 date of the death of either of them.  They are said to have been
 buried at
 Whitestown."
 
 Timothy wrote of Stephen:  "he lived many years at Whitestown, Oneida
 county, where both he and his wife finally died and were buried. They
 were pioneers.  He cleared the land on which they settled, became a
 well-to-do farmer, a sober, industrious and high respected citizen and
 neighbor. He died at 82."
 
 Sage gave the birth date of 2 Sep 1763 and the death date of 1845.
