Rowland Stebbins’ ancestors were Thomas Francis Stebbins, 1564; William Stebbins, 1540; and William Stebbins, 1521.

 

A few interesting notes about Lt. Thomas Stebbins, from DunhamWilcox.net family history page: 

  --Lieut. Thomas Stebbins was born in 1620 in Bocking, Essex, Eng and died on 15 Sep 1683 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA 9.)

  --Immigration; 1634; Roxbury, Suffolk Co., MA 10. Listed as a passenger, age 14, on the FRANCIS which left Ipswich, England in April 1634, along with parents Rowland & Sarah Stebbins and siblings, Sarah (11), Elizabeth (6) & John (8)  [Rowland's presence on this trip confirmed in GMD]

  --Oath of Freemanship/Allegiance; 24 Apr 1654; Springfield, Hampden Co., MA 3. "(before us John Pynchon & Elizur Holyoke) Sworne to be freemen of this Jurisdiction.": Thomas Stebbins "made free in the Bay"

  --Served as Attorney; 17 Mar 1662/63; Springfield, Hampden Co., MA 3. "Serjant Stebbins of Sprinfeild Atturney for Mr. Goodwin of Hadley complaynes against Widdow Sackett late of Sprinfeild Admistratrix and William Blomfeild Administrator to the estate of Symon Sackett deceased in an action of debt due upon account together with damage to the value of Six and Thirty shiflings."

  --Signed Petition; 2 Feb 1668/69; Springfield, Hampden Co., MA 12. Signed a petition protesting the imposition by England of customs upon goods being exported into and from Massachusetts Colony.

 

There is uncertainty whether Hannah Wright was the daughter of Deacon Samuel Wright [BIO] and Margaret Stratton, so I have not listed her parentage here.  See Mercy Ann Searle Chart 5 -- Experience Warner for Deacon Samuel Wright ancestry.

 

James Warriner's [BIO] marriage to Sarah Alvord was his second. His parents were William Warriner and Joanna Searle [BIO], brother of John Searle. They also record James’ birthdate as Nov. 21.  SEE Mercy Ann Searle Chart 2 -- Gideon Searle for more information.

 

Ann and Richard Vore's daughter Sarah Vore (Mary's sister) married Benjamin Parsons [BIO]; SEE also Eunice Olcott Chart 3 -- Mary Dorchester.
