He was also noted as the greatest wrestler in the Connecticut Colony.

In King Philip's Indian War, Stephen Root served under (506) Major Robert Treat for two and one-half years. He always carried a sword and a huge musket. In the fight at Fort Narragansett, when the Indian fort was destroyed, he did terrible execution. He was a man of mighty courage and of sound judgment. He and his five brothers were known as the 'giants of Connecticut.'
