Father of Samuel Powell.
From 1697 to 1698 he was in a loose partnership with John Brent and John Brocas, publishing William Barton's Psalms with music, some of the first music printing in Ireland.
Munter asserts that Stephen was succeeded in business by his son Sylvester but Dix states (citing the Registry of Deeds) that Stephen left his widow Deborah all his "goods, chattels, &c." in his will; Deborah assigned them to Edward Bate, who in 1831 assigned them to Samuel Powell (Stephen's son and Edward's brother-in-law).
[Note: Berry erroneously gives Sam. Powell instead of Stephen Powell at the Printing Press, Copper Alley (Fishamble Street) in 1717.]
