4. Roger, son of Roger 3, came to Brookfield with his father, and settled his estate. He lived on what is now North Brookfield territory, and had numerous descendants, not fewer than six of them building houses on what was then, and very properly, called Stevens Street, between the crossing of the brook, below Charles K. Stoddard's house, and what is now the head of " Furnace Pond," where very early a dam was built and mills erected. These mills were owned very early by Capt. Church, father of Mrs. Jeduthan Stevens, but were probably built before his owner- ship. The houses were on this street, all within a distance of half a mile; first, east of the brook, north side of the road, a small house built by Roger 4; next, on same side, a large house built by Roger 5, and descending from him to his son, Roger 6, who lived and died there in IS49, aged seventy-three ; the next house was on the south side, and built and occupied by Silas, a brother of Roger 5; the next, or fourth in order, was on the north side, built and occupied by Ezekiel 7, a brother of the two latter ; he never was married, but was a man of much business ; the next house was Jude's, another brother of same family, and was on the south side. Jude married, but had no children. The last house toward the pond was a small one, and was for many years occupied by Justus, a son of Silas, who reared a numerous family there. The house was probably occupied by others before his day.

12. Jeduthan, son of Silas 6, was a man of rare business capacity. After the death of his uncle Ezekiel, with whom he had been associated, and who built a pot- tery a few rods east of his house on Stevens street, he enlarged and continued that business, on quite a large scale for those days. He rebuilt, owned and operated the mills at the east end of that street, for many years ; he also engaged largely in the manufacture of brick ; he also owned and cultivated a large tract of land in that

vicinity, including a large part of the meadows bordering on the brook or river be- low his mills, which river then ran unobstructed from his mills quite to Quabaug or Podunk Pond.
About the year 1812, he purchased a large tract of land, bordering along on both sides of the "Great Road," so called, in the south-east part of North Brookfield, and built the large brick hotel, known far and wide as the "Stevens Tavern," on or near the spot now occupied by the J. N. Vaughn brick house, which, to a large extent, was constructed from the materials of the old tavern. He opened this tavern in Nov. 1814. In 1825 he bought the meadow adjoining his own, down the river, and built the dam over which the road now passes, and flowed the meadow quite back to, and over his old mill-dam, and making what is now known as the "furnace pond " or " Lake Lashaway." At the south end of this pond the "Brookfield Furnace Com- pany " erected their large works. He was a large owner in the company ; but it was not a success, and was discontinued after a few years. The water-power created by the foresight of Mr. Stevens, was the beginning of what is now the flourishing village of East Brookfield, of which he may well be called the father and founder. He possessed sound judgment, skill, courage, energy and perseverance ; a man of in- tegrity and punctuality, strictly reliable in all his engagements. He was lieutenant in the militia - a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and also in the war of the Shay's Rebellion. He held from time to time, all the principal offices in town. He d. Sept. 28, 1844.
