Pension applications, birth, death, and marriage certificates are only as accurate as the person's memory who is filling it out. It is possible that Stephen's wife filled the application out and either did not know her husband's father's name and assumed that his father's name was Stephen or Stephen or his wife did not know how to read or write and the person filling out the application for them made a mistake or misunderstood them. At this point all of my 20 years of research point to Thomas Maple being Stephen Maple's father and T. Grant Maple came to this same conclusion in his over 30 years of researching the Maple family.
