STETSON.
1. Robert Stetson, the ancestor of most of the Stetsons in the United States, was in Scituate as early as 1634. His house stood on a sloping plain, near the North river, and the spring which supplied him with water still marks the spot and flows as freely and purely now as then. The part of the farm on which the house stood is now owned by "The Stetson Kindred of America Incor- porated." The spot is a beautiful one but, during his life, an isolated one.
Mr. Stetson derived his title of Cornet from his official con- nection with the first Troop of Horse raised by the Colony. He and Lieutenant Torrey were designated by the Court to organize and set forth the Troop and, on its organization, he was chosen Cornet.

He was much engaged in the business of the Colony, was a Deputy to the Court, member of Council of War, a Colony Com- missioner for settling the patent line, and a member of the Com- mittee to lay out highways. Washington street in Hanover and River street in Norwell were laid out by this Committee. He con- structed mills where these were most needed. His landed posses- sions were great.
