One clue may come from searching the NZSG First families

enter STEPHENS
the second Sarah entry click on details, there is a Samuel as well and some names...that may be children

Bye

Hi Ian,

Have you seen the excellent article about him here
http://www.theprow.org.nz/samuel-stephens/

There is no mention of children, but strangely, the article was written by Joy Stephens.  ::)

He settled in Riwaka, and there is still a road there named after his house, Dehra Doon.

I suggest you contact Motueka Museum as they are certain to have more details
