Springfield Cemetery and Crematory, Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, USA: Our Family History

Notes:
The Stebbins, Wrights, Chapins, and many other families were prolific in the Springfield area in the 1600s, 1700s. Many are represented in this file, and many more are not yet recorded. However direct ancestors of this researcher who were laid to rest here are ...

Joseph* Stebbins (1652) and wife Sarah* Dorchester,

probably Joseph*, Jr (1674) and wife Rebecca* Colton

Their son Aaron* was not buried here, but many of his wife Mary Wright's family were; and as reason would suggest there are more.

There is a youtube posted by a young man, Bill Dusty, doing a walk through of this cemetery in March 2007 - very enjoyable. Hope he doesn't mind an embed here.

He did another walkthrough the following June:
