Stephen De Lancey[1] (December 1738 – May 1809) was a lawyer and political figure in New York state and Nova Scotia.
His sister, Susan DeLancey (1754–1837), was married to Thomas Henry Barclay (1753–1830), a lawyer who became one of the United Empire Loyalists in Nova Scotia and served in the colony's government.
[4] Both his uncle, James DeLancey (1703–1760), and maternal grandfather, Cadwallader Colden (1688–1776), served as Colonial Governors of New York.
A more reliable source[2] reports that he was appointed to office in the Bahamas, and his seat was declared vacant April 6, 1789.
His brother James won a by-election to replace him in the provincial assembly, and he took the seat on February 26, 1790.
