Levi Stebbins was a cabinet maker and farmer in Chesterfield, Mass., per the Stebbins Genealogy. Either he or his son Levi (or both) had 

a cabinet shop in Chesterfield.

​

Note: Amia Pierce is Tirzah Pierce's sister (Tirzah married Solomon Bissell and she is the Bissell 3G generation's 4th Great-grandmother), although I am unable to find a birth record for Amia, so the information about Tirzah and Amia being sisters comes from online family ancestor sources like ancestry.com, etc.  So, using this chart but substituting Tirzah Pierce (born 2 Apr 1787) for Amia Pierce, then this chart along with Bisbee Chart 2.2 and Bisbee Chart 2.3, are the family tree charts for Tirzah Pierce. Tirzah's lineage is well established: Massachusetts Vital Records 1841-1910, for 1872, V. 248, p. 67, death records for Chesterfield, MA shows that Tirzah's parents were Benjamin Pierce and Priscilla Merritt (Wade) from Scituate and that Tirzah was born in Chesterfield.  Similarly, MVR1850 shows that Priscilla Merritt was born 7 Jun 1744 in Scituate, d. of "Elisha Merritt and Priscilla."  Scituate, V. 1, p. 250.  

 

Research: Information on research sources is available from Craig Parker.  Some of the sources used for confirming the information on the Bisbee family lines include History and Genealogy of the Families of Chesterfield, Compiled by the Bicentennial Genealogy Committee, Ruth A. Baker, Chairman (Published by the Town of Chesterfield, MA, 1962, p. 48; Genealogy of the Bisbee Family, Frank Jones Bisbee, 1956 (reprint, Decatur, MI: Johnson Graphics, 1992, Pp. 41 and 68; and Genealogy of the Bisbee Family (I), Viola Drake Bisbee, compiler, June 2000 Bisbee Family Connection, p. 3.
