- From The Powers Family, published 1883:
"Stephen, the oldest son of Dr. Stephen of Woodstock, settled on a farm one or two miles south of 'Woodstock Green', a well-to-do Vermont farmer, where all of his children were born. But at some time previous to 1817 he had become embarrassed, in consequence of becoming security for a friend, and that year sold out and left Woodstock for the West with his family, intending to settle in or near Cincinnati, Ohio; but stopped and spent the following winter with his son Jason who had previously bought and settled on a farm on what was known as 'The Holland Purchase', in western New York, arriving in Cincinnati, May 5, 1818, where he died August 29 following, aged 55 years. His wife had been left behind with the family of Jason on account of an accident that had happened to their son Stephen just as they were about to leave there, and did not reach Cincinnati until some weeks later. The shock of her husband's death and the hardships incident to the situation were too great a burden for her, and she survived her husband but six years. She died near Cincinnati, March 17, 1824."
