"(2496) HENERY STEVENS, of Stonington, Conn.

"All decendants of Herry Stevens say that "(4992) Nicholas Stevens of England was wealthy, owining three shires in Wales, and after his death on of his heirs went over from New England, and prosecuted for and obtained a decree for his share of the property, but in signing the receipt he wrote his name ‘Stevens', when the attorney for the crown declared him an imposter, as the English records were spelled ‘Stephens', so the Judge ruled him out." He came home and so reported. One account says. "Nicholas Stevens for his cussing at Windsor before the train hand last Monday, is to pay to the public treasury 10 shillings." According to history, Henry Stevens, whose, father, Nicholas, was an officer in Oliver Gromwell's Army, after the death of the "Great Protector," emigrated to America and first settled in Stonington Conn. In the year 1600 [??] with his brothers, Thomas Stevens and Richard Stevens.

"Again, it is a family tradition that Henry Stevens, the oldest son of Nicholas Stevens, and officer in Oliver Cromwell's army, fled from England to escape the persecutions of the Royalists, after the death of Cromwell: but that record rests only on a letter from one member of the family to another of that generation. This letter is still extant and in the possession of Mrs. Updyke, of New York City, a descendant..."

There seems to be some confusion as to the husband of (4997viii) Sarah.

"(4996) William Fellows was born about 1609. We have proof of this in an Ipswich Court record: "27 Sep 1659 William Fellows, aged about 50 years deposed--Etc". We do not know when William Fellows arrived in America. There has been preserved a list of passengers who sailed in the "PLANTER" from London 02 Apr. 1635. This information is recorded in the "Gleanrags For New England History" assembled by Nic. trance, bound thither. These passenger had been certified by the Rector of St. Albans, Hertfordshire. Among the names on the list is "William Fellow, shoemaker, age 24 years."

"The age is not quite right for our William, but he could, perhaps, have been listed a year before the sailing. The greatest puzzle is the occupation of shoemaker. No other record describes William as a shoemaker. Was William married when he came to America? Descendants of William through his oldest son (4997i) Isaac, claim Isaac was born in England. They say Isaac Fellows died 06 April 1721 at the age of 86.

"We are not positive of the name of William's wife. Most genealogists seem in accord and say William married (4997) Mary Ayes, sister of (9995iii) Capt. John Ayres of lpswich and Brookfield, MA. If William Fellows arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635 his history is unknown until 1639..."
