Descendants of THOMAS STEGH


1 THOMAS STEGH b: 1648 in ENGLAND d: January 14, 1690/91 in BERGEN CO., NJ
. +MARGARET __________ b: 1652

Believed to have been born in England. In 1639 he sailed to Barbados in the British West Indies and resided there for several years before going to New York. He and his wife lived in New Barbadoes Neck, on the edge of Hackensack, south of the present Rutherford, NJ. (Source: Notes of Edwin C. Randolph, a descendant through Captain James Stagg.)


NOTE: Cornelius' wife and the mother of his children is listed as Margarite Banta (the widow of Peter Demarest) in all previous research I had seen. However, accordng to birth records for the children of Peter Demarest and Margaret Banta, they had children whose birth dates conflict with those of children previously listed as children of Cornelius and Margarite (Banta) Stagg, leaving their maternal ancestry in question.
