There is a tradition in the family, mentioned in the history of Sutton, to the effect that he was enticed on board ship and carried away from his home in England and bound out in New England to pay, his passage. Many young men came here in the early days under contract service, as it was called, to repay money advanced for passage, and many of the best colonists were men who got their start in this way. William Stockwell was a seafar- ing man. He married at Ipswich, April 14, 1685, Sarahı Lambert. He had a seat in the meeting house at Ipswich in 1700. His five sons settled in Sutton and founded one of the best known families of that section.
