Son of Rev. John and Deborah Bachiler Wing

Husband of Osheah Dillingham and Sarah Briggs

Stephen's will committed "my body to Decent Buruall at our friends Burieng place att Spring Hill until when God shall please to call me Hence." Unquestionably he lies there among the unmarked graves.

Stephen Wing House
The oldest house in New England owned and occupied continuously by the same family for over three centuries. Built in 1641, this house was traditionally called the "Fort" House because of its possible use as a refuge from Indian attack (which has since been disproven). In 1646 it became the home of Stephen Wing, one of the early settlers of Sandwich, son of the Reverend John Wing and Deborah Bachelor. Stephen and his descendants occupied the house from then on, adding on as families grew and changing tastes dictated. Now restored, it is furnished almost entirely with Wing family antiques showing the different periods of its long history. The house is maintained by the Wing Family of America and open to the public.

Migration
Stephen Wing's widowed mother, Deborah, joined her father, the Rev. Stephen Bachiler, who was determined to immigrate to New England with his children and grandchildren in 1632. In March of 1632, Rev. Stephen Bachiler, his third wife, Helen Mason Bachiler, and Deborah Bachiler Wing, her four sons, John, Daniel, Stephen and Matthew, among many others, boarded the old wine ship, the William & Francis, and spent eighty-eight days floundering across the Atlantic ocean. Our weary, seasick ancestors arrived at Massachusetts Bay Colony on June 5, 1632.

(From Wing Family History website)
Stephen Wing married first, Osheah Dillingham, in Massachusetts and had the following children:
Nathaniel 1646–1722
Deborah 1647–1654
Ephraim 1649–1649
Mercy 1650–

After Osheah's death in 1654, Stephen married 2nd, Sarah Briggs, 1641–1689.
They had the following children:
Stephen 1656-1676
Sarah 1658–1720
John 1661–1728

Elisha 1668–
Ebenezer 1671–1738

NOTE - As per the description of this cemetery, the very first paragraph states:
"Following the Quaker belief that tombstones were an unnecessary show of worldly grandeur, there are no tombstones in this ancient cemetery."

*****There are no tombstones in this cemetery.*****
