2510. John Stockbridge. Born ca 1608 in Hockley, Essex. John died in Boston, MA on 13 Oct 1657.25 Occupation: wheelwright.

John came in the Blessing from Lindon 1635, aged 17, with his wife Ann, 21, and son Charles 1. Ann joined the church in Scituate 16 Jul 1637.25

From Deane’s History of Scituate:53
John Stockbridge, (Wheelwright,) took the oath of fidelity in Scituate 1638. He was one of the Conihassett partners 1646. He had a house near to John Hollet’s, (perhaps a few rods south-westr of Jessee Dunbar’s). He had also a considerable tract of land, by purchase of Abraham Sutliffe, near Stockbridge’s mill pond on the north and east. In 1656, he purchased half the mill privilege of George Russell, (with the saw mill, which Isaac Stedman had erected ten years before) and built a grist mill, in partnership with Russell. Nearly at the same time, (before 1660) he built the Stockbridge Mansion-house, a part of which is now [1831] standing, and is probably the oldest house in New-Eangland, save one, viz. the Barker house at the Harbour. It was a garrison in Philip’s war, and the port-holes may be traced in the back part of the house, even now. He had married about the time of his arrival in the country, but the name of his first wife we have not learned.
The will of John Stockbridge is dated at Boston, 1657. His will gives ‘To eldest son Charles, my waster-mill at Scituate, house, ground and orchard belonging to it, he paying to his sister Elizabeth 10£ at marriage, or at 21 years of age. To wife Mary, my house and land at Boston, also the house that Gilbert Brooks lives in at Scituate, with the land belonging to it; and these to youngest son John after her decease, he paying 10£ to his sister Mary; but in case he do not survive his moother, to be equally divided to all my children. To daughter Hester, the house that William Ticknor doth now live in at Scituate, with the ground and orchard, also my land at Brushy hill and 4th Cliff. To daughter Hannah, wife of William Ticknor 40s. To daughter Sarah 10£ at marriage, or at 21 years of age. To wife Mary, all my household goods, and to eldest son Charles all my working tools.’
