Howdy Ray, Can you check into this please. I see that Stephen's birth record states that his mother is Hannah, but Hannah Vinal would have been 48yo when he was born. It appears that Stephen is most likely the son of Nathaniel, Jr and Patience Hatch. He's also listed on their profile as a child. Info below is copied from his memorial. I'm not sure of it's accuracy. PS: After adding Betsey as his daughter, I see that the DAR stickers added her name. I don't know how that happened.
