biography

From Descendants of Stephen Flanders

Stephen Flanders, Jr., the first child, was born 08 March 1646 in Salisbury, Ma. There is a bit of confusion as to his death date. Most sources note his death as being on “06 October 1744 at the advanced age of 98 years”. However, Edith Flanders Dunbar in her “The Flanders Family from Europe to America” 1935 notes Stephen, Jr. as dying prior to 29 May 1689, the date of his inventory. Further information, noted below, would seem to validate the 1689 date. Stephen, Jr. married, on 28 December 1670 at Salisbury, Ma., Abigail Carter who was born in February 1653 and was living in Salisbury in1747. She was the daughter of Thomas and Mary (–) Carter of Salisbury, Ma.

Stephen, Jr. received, from his father’s will, one third part of all the meadow lands of Stephen, Sr. plus one barrel of “syder” yearly from the orchard until he removed the three apple trees. It is assumed that he also inherited a portion of the woodland, near the Hampton, NH line. The wood acquired was used in making staves for barrels. On 28 June 1679, Stephen, Jr. along with his brothers Philip and John were defendants for “stealing 1100 red oak hogshead staves from Nathaniel Ware” who had land adjacent to them in the wooded land noted above. It was noted that “the woods were so thick that it was with difficulty that one lot was kept from running to another”. Stephen, Jr. purchased 30 acres of land from a Robert Downer wherein the deed dated 27 September 1710 notes “Robert Downer of Salisbury for fifteen pounds already paid him by Stephen Flanders, Jr., late of Salisbury, deceased et al”. This deed seems to confirm the death of Stephen Flanders, Jr as being in 1689.

Stephen, Jr. and Abigail Carter Flanders had eleven children, eight sons and three daughters. Thomas, the first son, and Philip, the sixth son, died very young. All of the nine living children are spoken of in Stephen Jr.’s will along with his wife.
