Hi Stephanie,

In searching the NEHGS register I have found a bit of Info. There re a lot of
listings for Sarah Graves & Edward Stebbins ti sift through. I will search
more later.

In Longmeadow Families
3rd Generation, Edward Stebbins of Springfield, son of Thomas and Hannah
Stebbins, was married April, 1679 to Sarah Graves. Their children - Sarah,
born Feb. 20, 1681. Thomas born Oct. 1685, died Jan 31, 1686. Thomas, Born
March 1687. Mary born Sept. 11, 1689. John born Jan 10, 1692. Mary born June
2, 1695, died April, 1698. Sarah the mother died June 12, 1700. Edward
Stebbins was married again, Oct. 18, 1701 to Mary Colton, Widow of Isaac
Coulton, and he died Oct. 31, 1712. She died at her son George Coulton's in
Longmeadow, August 30, 1743, age 91. Edward Stebbins, early in the spring of
1676, was taken by the Indians at Longmeadow while he was with Samuel Bliss,
his brother-in-law, and he was carried to the falls above Deerfield, and with
a youth names Gilbert made his escape from the Indians and gave information
of their place of residence, whereupon the English went and destroyed three
hundred or more of them.
