Note:
New York MILITIA
The militia normally provided support in skirmishes and battles in their area and controlled areas that would of otherwise have fallen to the British. They could be called upon at any time, for any length of time, but could be required to serve only three months out of state.

Any able-bodied man had to serve when "warned" unless he was incapacitated. If incapacitated he had to contribute toward furnishing and equipping another man.

Col. Jacobus Van Schoonhoven, who commanded the 12th NY Regiment, Albany Company is listed as taking part in the Battles of Saratoga. I'm assuming at this point that Stephen's company was there. The leadership and probably the rank and file were drawn from the Balls Town (Balston) and Half Moon, NY area Saratoga County.

I also find it very interesting that Stephen's brother William moved and founded the town of Merrickville, Canada. Stephen's 2nd marriage produced a child, Dorchester, born 1802, Canada. Perhaps Stephen migrated at one point to Merrickville to work with his successful brother, William, in his mills. In the Loyalist of Ontario, Canada I found a listing that Jemima Davies married a Merrick in early 1800.

In the 1790 US Census, Ballstown, Albany, IN William (who I am proposing is Stephen's father) and William's brothers Charles and Thomas are all shown.

I found that Stephen and his family were living in Manchester, Dearborn County, Indiana in 1841. They were paupers.

Stephen married Jemima Davies in 1801 in South Crosby, Leeds and Grenville Union Counties, Ontario, Canada. Jemima (daughter of Walter Davies and Jemima Ann Ripley) was born on 4 Sep 1786 in Windham, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was christened in in Windham, Rockingham, New Hampshire; died before 1806 in Ontario, Canada; was buried in Vanada Cemetery, Anderson, Warrick, Indiana, USA.

2 married daughters:

The estate was probated by PETER POWELL, who was connected by marriage to the family and he ordered the sale and distribution of the property.(Source:Probate Court, Litchfield, CT)

2.MARY DAVIS (1783-1861) married THOMAS RIPLEY (1789 - 1870)
There is a suggestion that Walter Davies adopted Thomas Ripley; however his name does
not appear in the probation proceedings as being an heir, whereas Walter's daughter, Mary is
included.
Thomas Ripley had brothers and a sister:

Walter Davis, Sr. had a brother WILLIAM DAVIES, who died about 1815, and had also come to Wolford, (Easton's Corners) Ontario.The Memorial stated that he had one daughter and three sons; however the daughter died shortly after arriving in Canada.The surviving children are William, Powell b 1770 and John Henry.In the Probate Court at Litchfield, CT, 7 Dec. 1779, the estate of WILLIAM DAVIES was forfeited to Connecticut, as a Loyalist sympathizer, and at that time he was of Washington, Litchfield County, CTThe 1802 census of Wolford listed:
