Bio: Peter Stephan, son of Samuel Stephens and Isabella Lawrence.

Peter Stephens was appointed a constable by the Orange County court in May 1736 but only a few months later stepped aside in favor of his son, Lewis [Orange County Order Book "1", pp. 74,93,108].

In the fall of 1743 Peter Stephens traveled to Williamburg, then capital of Virginia, probably with others from the newly organized Frederick County.

Peter Stephens received an additional 572-acre patent adjoining his earlier tract in November 1752. Also between 1743 and shortly before his death he distributed land to his sons. Peter wrote a will in April 1757 naming all his children and identifying them by order of age, first the sons, then the daughters. He appointed his wife, Maria Christina and sons Lewis and Lawrence as his executors

"Peter Stephens built the first home in Stephens City in 1732. In 1758, his son Lewis applied to the Virginia General Assembly to establish the town as Stephensburg. As the town grew, it became known as Newtown. The name was officially changed to Stephens City in April 1880. One of the main trades of the town was wagon making." source: Winchester-Frederick County Historical Society
