STOCKBRIDGE FAMILY. John Stockbridge, who came to America in the ship "Blessing" in June, 1635, was the emigrant ancestor of Radford Stockbridge, of Worcester. John Stockbridge gave his age, then as twenty-seven years, hence he was born in 1608. With him was his wife Ann, and his son Charles, aged one year. He settled at Scituate, Massachusetts, and his wife is on record as joining the church there, July 16, 1637. He took the oath of allegiance, February i, 1638. He was one of the Conihassett partners in 1646. His house was near John Hollet's, perhaps a few rods southwest of Jesse Dunbar's, and he had also a tract of land, bought of Abraham Sutcliffe, near Stockbridge's mill pond, on the north and east. In 1656 he bought one-half of the mill privilege of George Russell, with the saw-mill which Isaac Stedman had erected there, ten years before, and built a grist mill, in partnership with Russell. The "History of Scituate" says that he built the Stockbridge mansion house in 1656, which is now or was lately standing, one of the oldest in New England, and which was used as a garrison in King Philip's war. He was a town officer at Scituate.
