ROWLAND STEBBINS

Born Bocking, England 1592
Died in Northampton 14 Dec. 1671, but no stone was erected to designate the exact spot of interment.

Dr. Daniel Stebbins about the year 1806, had the early burial ground at Northampton, MA, examined to discover the precise spot where the remains of ROWLAND STEBBINS were buried, but failing in this attempt, in 1840 he caused a "Granite Cenotaph" to be erected to his memory, in the center of his family square in the new burying ground, on the east side of which is the following inscription:

ROWLAND STEBBINS

The supposed ancestor of all the name in America, came from the west of England to Springfield with his sons John & Thomas, about 1668 removed to Northampton & died there 1671.

DANIEL STEBBINS of the 6 generation from Thomas, was born Apr. 2, 1766.

Erected 1936 By Willis M. Stebbins
Gothenburg, Nebr. 9 TH Generation
From - Rowland
----------
This inscription after sixty-two years' exposure to the weather has become almost illegible, so the year of his removal to Northampton is not positive.

The exact spot of his interment was accidentally discovered in 1850, some fifty rods North of the present Cenotaph, the remains having been in it at that date, one hundred and seventy-nine years. A small marble slab has been placed at the head of the grave, with no inscription except the name -
