Stephen proved to be the proverbial black sheep throughout his life despite the best efforts of his Longfellow relatives. He tried several lines of work with his family once sponsoring a trip to California during the Gold Rush and his uncle Henry bankrolling his effort to manufacture a nautical compass. As a soldier in the Civil War he was wounded three times but never rose in the ranks past sergeant. He married Anna M. Hallett around 1865. After Steven’s bigamous attempt to marry Anna Hennessy in 1879, Henry arranged for the charges to be dismissed. After his misadventure, Stephen agreed to undergo treatment for alcoholism. In another publicized scandal, he forged checks in Henry’s name. His family finally sent him to Australia.41 He had two children by his marriage to Anna, Stephen and Mary Greenleaf.
