Stephen is listed as Stephen Lain in 1830 with:
Males 1<5, 1=15-19 Females 1<5, 1=15-19, 1=20-29, 1=50-59 which appears to be in error, as he would have been about age 24. But he would not have been listed as head of household with the older women in the house if he was not married and of age. It also appears that his mother is living with them.
