STEVENS FAMILY. Colonel Thomas Stevens

(1), of Devonshire, England, was the father of the three emigrants from whom a large part of the Stevens families of Massachusetts are descended. He was the progenitor of Charles F. Stevens, and George A. Stevens, of Worcester. He was the armorer of Buttulph Lane, London, who contracted with the Massachusetts Bay colony and government in March, 1629, for a supply of arms. He was a member himself of the Massachusetts Bay Com- pany, gave fifty pounds to the common stock and sent three sons, Thomas, Cyprian and Richard, and one daughter to New England. Mary Stevens married Captain Whipple, of Ipswich. Thomas and Cyprian came in 1660 with Captain Green. Cyprian went to Chelsea and later to Lancaster. Richard was the father of Samuel Stevens of Marlboro. Colonel Stevens had another son, William, who re- mained in London. Colonel Stevens was one of the signers of the instructions to Captain Endi- cott before his coming to New England. Richard Stevens, one of the sons, settled in Concord, Massa- chusetts, and died there in 1683. His wife and daughter returned to England to live. Thomas Stevens came first at the age of twelve in the ship "Abigail" from London in 1635. He came again apparently with his brother Cyprian and settled at Sudbury, where he had by his wife Mary: Ann, born March 20, 1664; Thomas, April 14, 1665; John, April 23, 1667; Cyprian, April 19, 1670; Jacob, March 1, 1674. All of these are on the Sudbury records.

(II) Cyprian Stevens, son of Colonel Thomas Stevens ( 1), was born in England, probably in Lon- don, though the family was originally in Devon- shire. He settled first at Rumney Marsh, then re- moved to Lancaster. He married, January 22, 1672, Mary Willard, daughter of Simon Willard, of Lancaster. The first three of his children were probably born at Lancaster. He had to leave the town during the Indian wars and he then lived nearer Boston. He was at Sudbury, where his brother lived, and while there was given permission to receive an Indian child of six years in his family. The Indian child was probably from a friendly tribe, whose father was serving in the ranks of the colonists. Cyprian Stevens returned to Lancaster after the declaration of peace between England and France. He was a blacksmith by trade. He was a tavern keeper in 1686, and was also appointed to take an account of all the births and deaths in Lancaster. He was constable in 1690 and clerk of writs from 1682 to 1686. Mary Willard, who mar- ried Cyprian Stevens, January 22, 1671-2, was the daughter of the valiant Major Willard and his third wife, Mary Dunster, who was a relative of President Dunster, of Harvard College. The chil- dren of Cyprian Stevens were : Cyprian, born November 22, 1672; Mary, born November 22. 1672, married Samuel Wright ; Dorothy, died young; Simon, born at Boston, August 13, 1677; Elizabeth, born in Boston, 1681: Joseph.

(III) Deacon Joseph Stevens, son of Cyprian Stevens (2), was born in Boston, 1683, died at Rutland, 1769. He settled first in Sudbury, where the first three children were born. About 1714 he settled in the town of Framingham, adjoining, where two children were horn. He removed to Rutland in 1720 and the remainder of his children were born there. He was proprietor of lots 15 and 56 in Rutland. Part of his division land was located on Stevens Hill, and he had two hundred acres on Turkey Hill adjoining. He settled lot 15, and as he was one of the first settlers was exposed to the dan- gers and privations of the early pioneers. He held many town offices. He was town clerk, first se-

lectman, assessor, treasurer and clerk of the pro- prietors. He was on the committee to set off land to the settlers. He was deacon of the church and captain of the militia. He put up a hovel, as the Rutland history called it, at the meadow bordering Stevens brook, five miles from his dwell- ing, and he went there daily on rackets to feed his cattle. August 14, 1723, after family devotions and breakfast, he and his four sons went to Meeting House meadow to cut fodder for the winter. They were surprised by five hostile Indians. While Cap- tain Stevens made his escape in the bushes, two sons, Samuel and Joseph, were slain and scalped and the other two Phineas and Isaac, carried away prisoners to Canada. The pluck of Phineas, who carried his younger brother on his back when he was exhausted, saved him from being slaughtered to get him out of the way or left to die alone in the forest. It was more than a year before the boys were redeemed. A subscription was taken in the Framingham church, where the Stevens family had been members, April 19, 1724. The father made two trips to Canada and returned finally with Isaac August 19, 1725. Isaac was much attached to his Indian foster mother and would have preferred to stay with her, it is said. The cost of this ransom and other misfortunes impoverished Captain Stevens and he died in want, November 15, 1769. His widow died 1776. He married Prudence Rice, daughter of John Rice, of Sudbury, and grand- daughter of Phineas Rice, of Sudbury, descendant of Edmund Rice. The children of Joseph and Prudence (Rice) Stevens were: Captain Phineas, born February 20, 1706-7, at Sudbury, married Elizabeth Stevens; he was one of the founders of Charlestown, New Hampshire, and a noted Indian fighter.

The brothers decided to return to Worcester, Massachusetts, and there started the wholesale and retail sash, door and blind business. Their store was on the present location of the Federal building. When the government bought this site for the postoffice Daniel owned about one-half of it. They were pioneers in the business and for many years furnished all the sash, doors and blinds used in the city of Worcester and vicinity. The firm name was D. & C. P. Stevens. The business is now owned by the son- in-law of the senior partner, Franklin B. White, and run under the old name of D. & C. P. Stevens & Co. The brothers were always associated in business.

They were among the first in this line of business for many years, and as they supplied a need of the building business they prospered. The brothers were partners in all business undertakings. They owned real estate on Southbridge street and there built Stevens block. In 1877 they started the grain business at 32 Southbridge street, in this block, where it is still carried on by George A. Stevens, son of the junior partner of the original firm. In 18SI George A. Stevens became a partner and naturally succeeded to the business at the death of his father and uncle. Charles P.
