The records of Newtowne (now Cambridge, CN) show "On the prime of September 1634 lots granted on the west side of the (Charles) River to Stephen Post, 12ackers." In May 1635 the Hooker Colony left Newtowne for what was to become Hartford, CN. Early Hartford Probate Court records show that Sephen Post was an "appraiser of inventory and goods in 1639. In 1641 he was elected constable of Hartford. Stephen's name is inscribed on the Hartford Founders' monument in the old burying ground as one of the founders of that city.. In 1645 Stephen made an expedition from Hartford to Saybrook. The next year, after the fort was completed, he moved his family to Saybrook. He continued his work as a carpenter, and it was there that he was appointed Lieutenant of the Fort at Saybrook.
