" John Stebbins appears to have been among the first settlers of New London..... 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. (This seems to confuse father and son, both named John) His wife, Margaret, died January 1, 16778-9. Three children are mentioned, John, Daniel, and the wife of Thomas Marshall of Hartford. (The elder John, b. abt 1602 did indeed have sons John, Daniel & Mary who married Marshall) John Stebbins, 2d, was married about 1663, to Deborah, supposed to have been the daughter of Miles Moore. He died in 1707 (this is John 2nd). Daniel Stebbins married Bethia, daughter of Gideon Comstock (Bethia was the daughter of DANIEL Comstock).. They had a son, Christopher, born 7 July, 1694, and married 22 Dec., 1720, Abigail Allen, born about 1706, daughter of Samuel Allen and Lydia Hastings.
