Stephen and Sarah Viele were the original owners and settled on this farm about 1789, followed by Wagman and then Peck families. Stephen lived to be 50+ years of age. He was the brother of Johannes Viele in the John Viele Cemetery nearby. And of Ludovicus Viele - 68864095
. He was a brother-in-law of Jesse Toll.
According to the 1790 census when Saratoga was under Albany County Stephen had 2 slaves and in 1800 he had one. It is likely that the unmarked fieldstone nearby was a marker for one of the slaves. Research may show when the slave was purchased and possibly a name.
Stephen's stone and footstone are combined for easier mowing. Top was broken off when the tree fell on it before 2016. Part was found and glued back on.
