Stephen DeWolf
Stephen DeWolf was born about 1650, the third son of Balthasar De Wolf and his wife Alice. His father had been fined at Hartford in 1656 for smoking in the street, and by about 1661 the family lived in the part of Saybrook that became the town of Lyme in 1664 and 1665.
In 1668 Stephen, his father and his elder brothers Edward and Simon were on the roll of the Lyme train-band, the town's militia company. A family writer pointed out that Stephen must have been at least sixteen to be on it.
In December 1675, in King Philip's War, he and his brother Edward were among the Connecticut volunteers who surrounded the Narragansett stronghold in the Great Swamp. Connecticut later granted the men of that campaign a township in the Narragansett country, now Voluntown.
He married twice. The DeWolf genealogy of 1902 sets one son, Edward, born 1686, under a first wife whose name it does not give. Under a second wife, Hannah, it sets Deborah, born 1690, who married Aaron Huntley, and Hannah, born 1693. Other children are listed as Stephen, 1694, who died in 1723; Benjamin, 1695; Lewis, 1698; Phoebe; and Josiah. A Huntley genealogy of 1978 names his second wife as Hannah, born Jones and the widow of a Ransom.
He died on 17 October 1702.
