Notes
General:
A blacksmith, of Lexington, Mass. He had two children baptized in Watertown (West Precinct) and moved to Worcester as early as 1722. May 20, 1717, he purchased of Ephraim Curtis, of Sudbury, for 50 pounds fifty acres in Worcester, with all the rights belonging thereto, bounded N.W. by commons, S.W. by Obadiah Ward, S.E. by road, N.E. by Daniel Heywood. In 1748 he was Captain of a company of Rangers, raised in Worcester and sent to repel the Indians. He was always afterward known as Capt. John Stearns, of Worcester, Mass., and, with his wife, was living in 1762. Besides the two children baptized in Waltham, they probably had others born in Worcester, whose births
are not recorded. The town records of Worcester are very deficient and the church records are lost.
