My 8x great grandfather Ephraim Stevens is the subject of Week 43. This is Charlotte Helen
Abbott's entry for him in her Early Records of the Stevens Family of Andover,
Ephraim(2) b. about 1648; he was a Scout; was in the Narragansett War; in 1679
received a grant of land to repay his loss in the Indian Raid; was Sgt.; Selectman;
Assessor; Clerk of Market 169(?) to 1696; Surveyor 1693; m. Oct 11, 1680; Sarah(2)
Abbott, dau. of George Abbott and w. Hannah Chandler; Sarah was b. Nov.14, 1659;
d. June 28, 1711; he d. June 26,1718; no sons lived. pp2-3
Ephraim and Sarah (Abbott) Stevens had eight children, one boy and seven girls, but only
six of the girls survived to adulthood and are named in Ephraim's will:
Sarah Stevens b. 28Oct 1681; d.25 Dec 1750

I'm descended from Sarah Stevens who married Stephen Abbott. They were first cousins.
I have a copy of the will and will be transcribing it soon.
