Stephen Bishop was considered one of Stamford's wealthiest men.  He was the son of the now deceased spiritual leader of the area, Rev. John Bishop, who was by no means wealthy.  But Stephen had somehow managed to turn his inheritance into a fortune by the standards of the day.  He had married a local girl named Mercy in about 1680, and together they had eight children-six sons and two daughters.  He served as Sheriff for Stamford in 1700, and again from 1707 through 1709.
In 1712, he transferred most of his property to his three sons who were still living-by now all grown. These titles were considered "deed of gift."  This meant that they were usually transferred for the "sum of a dollar for the love and affection I hold for my son."   The oldest, John was a weaver by trade.  Stephen Jr., and Joseph were both farmers.  Abraham, Stephen, Jr.'s twin brother, had passed, as had Theophilus.  The girls, Rebecca and Abigail were both married, and as was the custom of the day were not included in the transference of land.
Stephen died December 3, 1722 in Stamford, and Mercy died April 5, 1735.  They were buried in the old common burying ground with Stephen's father Rev. John Bishop.  That cemetery now lies under Columbus Park, and most of the graves were moved to Ye Old North Field, one of Stamford's oldest cemeteries.
