Stephen’s maternal grandfather was James Richard Lacroix (the son of Richard Harvey “Buster” Lacroix and Ruth Gladys Rippey). James was born in Alabama. Richard was born in Tennessee, the son of William Jacob Lacroix, whose paternal grandfather was from Germany, and had French ancestry; and of Laura Vernon McDonald. Ruth was born in Tennessee, the daughter of James Polk Rippey and Florence Elizabeth Bloom.

Stephen’s maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Jane “Betty” Mullikin (the daughter of Robert Andrew Mullikin and Olive E. Anderson). Elizabeth was born in Missouri. Robert was born in Kansas, the son of John Franklin Mullikin and Jane/Jennie Williamson, who was Scottish. Olive was born in Kansas, the daughter of Carl F. Anderson, who was Swedish, and of Elizabeth Haagstrand, whose parents were also Swedish.
