with it's roots beginning in Stamford, CT with

THOMAS STEVENS

This would not be possible without the many contributions from members of this ever growing family.

"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness." -- Unknown

A family tree can wither if nobody tends it's roots

"STEVENS, THOMAS, died here in 1658.  He had been a landholder as early as 1649, as appears from the land records.  His will and inventory of estate are on record, dated Nov. 30, 1658. 

His property was bequeathed to his wife, for the children; but if she should marry, she was to have her third and the rest to be divided; the oldest son, if deserving and of godly carriage to have a double portion, if not to share equally with the rest.

In 1670, the county made Obadiah, his son, Administrator, giving him the home and house lot, and requiring him to pay the legacies.  His children were-Obadiah, Thomas, Benjamin, Joseph and Ephraim, of whom, Dec. 20, 1686, Obadiah, Benjamin and Joseph give bonds for the settlement of their mother."
