- Stephen was enslaved by Jacob Murray. In the Sales Bill regarding Murray's estate, a value of $50.00 was placed on "Stephe." He was then bought by his wife, M. Shooly. In the appraisement of Murray's estate, a value of $200.00 was placed on an enslaved man named Stephen. The fifth IAS book also records a value of $200.00 being placed on "Steven" in the list of Jacob Murray's property. It is assumed that these three passages are describing the same person.
- It is presumed that M. Shooly was a free person of color purchasing her husband in order to free him.
