Comments:
Comes with a mostly handwritten deed dated June 5, 1827 involving a land sale by Charles Stearns to Timothy Stearns in New Ipswich, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. Also included is a single page typewritten genealogy of the descendants of Charles Borman and Chloe Massey (or Mersey), a newspaper clipping dated 1937 pertaining to the Stearns family, and a small photograph of a WWI soldier Reines (sp?) dated 1918.
The genealogy opens with this excerpt regarding Isaac Stearns, "the emigrant was from Nayland Parish, Suffolk County, England. He came to this country in the ship Arabella with Governor Winthrop in 1631; settled in Watertown, Mass., near Mt. Auburn. He was admitted Freeman May 18, 1631 which is the earliest date of such admission. In 1647 he was Selectman and for many years held important positions in town affairs. The signature on his will is written Sternes, and in England it is written Sterne. The Anglo-Saxon of the name of the bird, the Starling, which appears on the Coat-of-Arms of this family is Stearn; in other dialects Stern."
The Farrar family genealogy begins on page 29 with the excerpt, "Jacob Farrar was one of the original proprietors of Lancester (Lancaster, Massachusetts) which was incorporated May 18, 1653. He was probably thirty years old when he came to this country the middle of the seventeenth century. His wife, Ann, whom he married about the year 1640, with four children and about half of his property, were left in England until their new home was prepared for them in Lancester, Mass. where they arrived in 1658. During King Phillips War he had two sons killed in the year 1675. The town was taken February 10, 1675-6 and most of his property destroyed by the Indians. He died August 14, 1677." The remaining portion of the genealogy features the children and descendants of Jacob Farrar and his wife Ann.
