Biography
From Draper’s History of Spencer:
“Stebbings, Capt. John, was the son of Samuel Stebbings, and to him and his brother Joseph was assigned the first houselot of 30 acres in Leicester in 1714. They came from England at what time is not known, but he nor his brother were neither of them 21 years of age when they came to Leicester. The house lot was on "Strawberry Hill" and comprehended a considerable part of the village in Leicester. He was the first grantee named in the deed, which gave the easterly half of the town to the first 50 families, dated Jan. 8, 1724. He was a housewright by trade but he acquired only a moderate estate, yet he was a man of intelligence and influence and he was often promoted to offices in civil and military life.
“He was a soldier in the French War in 1746, under Governor Shirley, in Canada and Nova Scotia. Again in 1755 and 1756 he was Captain of a Co. in the Regiment of Colonel Ruggles, stationed at Fort Edward, where he died at the age of 45, Aug. 18, 1756.”
Since John was assigned a houselot of 30 acres in Leicester in 1714, he was born by 1696, so would have been at least 60 when he died at Fort Edward. [1]
