- The Stebbins Family - from Film #1597917 - Historical Celebration of
Brimfield (1876) appendix of genealogies:
Three members of the Stebbins family were among the original proprietors
of Brimfield -- Lieut. Thomas Stebbins, with his brother and nephew,
Deacon John Stebbins and John, Jr. They were descended from Sir Thomas Stebbins, baronet of Yorkshire County, England. Roland Stebbins came to America with his wife and four children, and was one of the company that settled Springfield in 1636. Afterward he removed to Northampton with his son John, and died there. Lieut. Thomas Stebbins died in Springfield, 1683, his children being Samuel, Thomas, Joseph, Sarah, Edward, Benjamin and Hannah. Samuel removed to Longmeadow, and his children were John, Ebenezer, William, Abigail, Joanna, Thomas, Benjamin and Mercy -- of whom John and Thomas came to Brimfield with their families, though the latter removed to Monson in 1762, and was the
ancestor of the Stebbins family of that town.
