It should be noted that, at this point in time, there was quite a bit of
intermarriage between the Stebbins, Burt, and Ball families. The
Stebbins/Greenlee genealogy Documents this quite thoroughly on Page 60
Volume 1.
Thomas came to America with his father in 1634, and lived for a time in
Roxbury, MA before moving to Springfield.
I has been documented that quite a bit of land (map 1)(map 2) transfers
occurred with Thomas. Some of his land was taken away from him to erect a
meeting house. He was part owner of a toll way.
It is believed that Thomas was a tailor due the the documented accounts of a
Mr Pynchon. The first Items of credit include:
"By making 12 waste-coats, 8s"
"By 10 doz. caps at 6s pr doz"
"By 11 doz and 9 Wastecoats at 8s per doz"
"By making 3 doz & 1 coats"
"By one doz stockens 5s"
"2 days tailoring 2s"
"mending my clothes 6d"
"By 4 days harvesting work"
He was elected Townsman or Selectman, Towne Measurer, Viewer of fences,
Juryman, Overseer of Highway,
He was one of the witnesses to the Indian deed, dated September 24, 1653,
conveying the land of Nonotuck (now Northhampton, MA) to John Pynchon.
Thomas was recorded as having taken part in the "Turner's Falls Fight", a well
known battle with the resident Indians. In 1676 peace negotiations were taking
place with the Indians. At one point, the Indians decided to ignore the peace
process and in retribution, the Hampshire settlements attacked and destroyed
the unsuspecting Indian encampment. Indian reinforcements arrived after the
attacker stayed too long and drove them off causing heavy casualties among
the settlers.
On March 26, 1676, Thomas and his wife were sent to court for wearing of silk
in a flouting manner.
