Research Notes:
terms of father's will make it clear John was eldest son. He may also have
been the oldest child, but there is a 4-year gap between the last child
recorded as born in England and the first born in Watertown; placing John in
this gap would be consistent with his approximate date of marriage. Since he
is not recorded as born at Watertown, he may have been born aboard ship in
1630, or in some English parish where the Stearns family possibly perched
briefly before sailing for New England [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p1749]
