His mother died giving birth to him. Her letter states that he married Eliza (Elizabeth?) Jane Curless. His father, name unknown, was direcvtly from Ireland and gave Stephen 80 acres near springfield, OH as a wedding gift. The letter also states that Stephen's father remarried to a Mrs. Raredon, "mother of two sons. One was a Union Pacific Agent." The letter doesn't state if they were from her first marriage or not. The letter also states that Stephen had only 2 daughters: Sarah Elizabeth and Ida. The letter is quite long and if you waould like any more info, let me know. Jim Butler
