Notes	John Stebbins appears to have been among the first settlers of New London. He is mentioned as one of the advance party who were engaged in laying out and fencing lots as early as 1645. That year it is said that he mowed the meadows at upper Mamacock. "John Stubens and Robert Hempsteed are chosen to view the fences for this year (1647)." "22 Feb., 1648 (49), The inhabitants of Pequit plantation have chosen by a joynt consent Mr. John Winthrop, Robert Hempsteed, Curie Latham, John Stubens, and Thomas Miner for this yeare following to act in all towne affaires as well in the disposing of lands as in other prudentiall occasions for the towne." His house-lot lay northwest of John Winthrop's, on the upper part of what are now Williams street and Slain street. "At a town meeting at Namearke, the 25th of Feb., 1649 ( 50), John Stubbins is chosen Constable for the towne Namearke." In 1652 a small island "at the mouth of Mistick," containing near twenty acres of marsh, was granted to Robert Hempsteed and John Stebbins. At a town meeting held Nov. 29, 1 1669, John Stebbins, William Hough, Clement Miner, and Isaac Willey were chosen to lay out the "Kings highway between New London and the head of teh Niantick river." In one deposition on record at New London his age is said to be sixty in 1661 and in another seventy in 1675. Where the mistake lies cannot be decided. It is probable that he was the John Stebbins who had a son born at Watertown in 1640. His wife, Margaret, died January 1, 1678-9. Three children are mentioned, John, Daniel, and the wife of Thomas Marshall of Hartford. John Stebbins, 2d, was married about 1663, to Deborah, supposed to have been the daughter of Miles Moore. He died in 1707. Daniel Stebbins married Bethia, daughter of Gideon Comstock. They had a son, Christopher, born 7 July, 1694, and married 22 Dec., 1720, Abigail Allen, born about 1705, daughter of Samuel Allen and Lydia Hastings. Children: 2. Lydia, b. 8 Jan., 1723; m. Amariah Lyon. 3. Jabez, b. 17 May, 1728; in. Sarah Turner. 4. Abigail, b. 19 Aug., 1730. 5. Bethia, b. 22 Dec., 1735. 6. Christopher, b. 13' Sept., 1739. 7. Ann, b. 1 March, 1742.
