4-9- SIMON STEVENS m. 1st, 1701, Mary Wilder, of Lancaster, who d. and he m. 2d, Mrs. Mary (Gove) Martin, wid. of Thomas Martin ; she d. March 21, 1775, aged 85 years and 2 months. An anecdote of some interest is told of the ancestry of his second wife, not improbable in itself, and as far as the records touch upon the subject, they rather confirm it. The tradition is, that sometime during the 17th century, as a vessel was leaving England for this country, two young women went on board to take leave of their friends, and were invited to take some cake and wine; and before they were aware of it, the vessel was on its way to New England. One of these young women, Mary Holmes, m. a Mr. Gove. Their dau. Mary, m. Jan. 30, 1710, Thomas Martin. After the death of her husband in 1729, Mary (Gove) Martin m. Simon Stevens, and hence the name Gove, has been retained in that branch of the Stevens family.
Simon Stevens was in Marl. at the time of his m., (1701,) and had several children b. in the place ; he afterwards moved to Plainfield, Ct., where he may have d. His wid. Teturned, and spent her last days in Marlborough. The record of the family is very imperfect.

The first mention of him, that I have been able to find, is in 1708, when he exchanged lands with David Church. Dea. Stevens's will, dated Oct. 27, 1753, and proved Jan. 4, 1762, mentions wife Thankful, son Samuel, and dau. Sarah Hemenway, Mary Haywood, Elizabeth Bailey, Anna Woods, and Thankful.

He was made freeman, 1634, member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com- pany, 1638, and Representative, 1639. He was probably the father of Thomas, of Concord and of Middletown, Ct. Elizabethi, wife of John, d. 1638. Stow was a very ancient name in England, particu- larly in Middlesex and Lincolnshire.
