the growth and prosperity of the firm's busi- ness. After a number of very active years his health failed and for three years he was un- able to pursue his vocation. In 1879 he en- gaged in the furniture trade in partnership with Mr. Manning and remained in this firm until his death, August 8, 1887.

The immigrant ancestor of the Plymouth Shermans is said to be related to the ancestry of General William T. Sherman, of Civil War fame, in England, but the connection has not yet been proved. The Shermans of Connecti- cut and Rhode Island are of the same stock, both coming from Massachusetts originally.
Colonel Thomas Stevens was
STEVENS an armorer in Buttolph's Lane, London, England, who contracted with the governor and company in March, 1629, to supply arms for the Mas- sachusetts Bay Colony. He was himself a member of the company and gave fifty pounds to the common stock. Three sons and a daughter became settlers in the colony. He signed the instructions to Captain Endi- cott. Though the family was of Devonshire in the early days, he came to London, where his children were probably born. Children: I. Thomas, came over in 1660. 2. Richard, father of Samuel, of Marlborough. 3. Cyp- rian, mentioned below. 4. Mary, married Captain Whipple, of Ipswich.
(II) Cyprian Stevens, son of Thomas Stevens (I), was born in London, England, about 1644-6. He sailed from London. He was at first a resident of Rumney Marsh, now Chelsea, settled at Lancaster just about the time King Philip's war broke out, but had to find a safer place of residence for his family, and went to Sudbury. He was given author- tiy to receive an Indian child of six years, prob-
ably of a friendly tribe, whose father might be serving in the English ranks. After peace was declared he returned to Lancaster and was elected to various town offices. He mar- ried, January 22, 1672, Mary Willard, daugh- ter of Major Simon Willard, the most prom- inent founder of Lancaster, by his third wife Mary Dunster, a relative of President Duns- ter, of Harvard College. Children: I. Cyp- rian, born November 22, 1672, at Lancaster. 2. Mary, married Samuel Wright. 3. Doro- thy. 4. Simon. 5. Elizabeth. 6. Joseph, mentioned below.
(III) Joseph Stevens, son of Cyprian Stevens (2), was born in Sudbury, about 1680. He returned to Lancaster with his father probably, but settled in early life in Fram- ingham, Massachusetts. In 1719 he removed to Rutland, Massachusetts, of which he was a very prominent citizen. He owned lots 15 and 56, and part of his division was located on Stevens Hill and two hundred acres on Tur- key Hill adjoining. He settled on lot 15, and as he was one of the first settlers he was ex- posed to the dangers and privations of the pioneers of the frontier. He held many of- fices; was town clerk and clerk of the pro- prietors, first selectman, assessor, town treas- urer several years; committee to set off land; deacon of the church; captain of the military company of the town. He pastured his cattle some five miles from his house, and built there a hovel to shelter them. He went there daily in winter, usually on rackets or snow shoes, to feed his cattle. On August 23, 1723, after family devotion in the morning, he and his four sons set out for meeting house meadow to cut fodder for the winter. They were surprised and attacked by five Indians. The father escaped to the undergrowth; two sons, Samuel and Joseph, were slain, and the other two taken prisoners and carried to Canada, where they were held more than a vear before they were redeemed. Deacon Stevens made two journeys to Canada before he succeeded in redeeming the young men. The cost of this ransom and other misfortunes reduced Captain Stevens to straitened cir- cumstances, so that in his old age he had to accept relief from the town. His old friends at Framingham contributed to the ransom of the prisoners, April 19, 1724. The boys ar- rived home August 19, 1725. Captain Stev- ens died November 15, 1769. He married Prudence, daughter of John Rice, and de- scendant of Edmund Rice; she died 1776. Children: I. Phineas, born at Sudbury, Feb- ruary 20, 1706-7; married Elizabeth Stevens;

When he grew tired of walking, his elder brother carried him on his back. But he was so young that he seemed to thrive on the hardships, and grew to like the Indians. His squaw mother won his affections, and he would willingly have stayed with the Indians, as. some of the West- borough captives in the Rice family did. He learned how to fight in the Indian way, and his body was scarified and punctured from his lessons and combats. He settled at Rut- land, and April II, 1743, he married Mercy, daughter of Captain John Hubbard. She died August 27, 1746, and he married (sec- ond), September 7, 1748, Abigail Perley.

public school of Cambridge. After complet- ing his studies he learned the trade of plumb- er with his father, with whom he worked for a period of ten years. He then became con- nected with the Boston office of the Henry McShane Company of Baltimore, Maryland, one of the largest manufacturers of plumbers' supplies, and was one of their traveling sales- men for the New England states. Subsequently Mr. Stevens, Frank L. Locke and Herbert R.
