Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England Stevens Family [Source: Find A Grave]: Thomas Stevens married Mary Fletcher on November 18, 1655 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England. -they were the  parents of Jacob (March 01, 1672-March 10, 1754) married Anna Mary Whipple. He was the armorer of Buttolph lane, London, who was contracted with the Massachusetts Bay Colony and government in march 1629 for the supply of arms. He was a member of the Massachusetts Bay company, gave fifty pounds to the common stock and sent three sons Thomas, Cyprian, and Richard and one daughter Mary to New England. Mary married Captain Whipple of Ipswich. Thomas and Cyprian came in 1660 with Captain Green. Cyprian went to Chelsea and later to Lancaster.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts_Bay_Colony Massachusetts Bay Colony An English settlement on the east coast of North America (Massachucetts Bay) in the 17th century; situated around the present-day cities of Salem and Boston… founded by the owners of the Massachusetts Bay Company… begun in 1628… the population was strongly Puritan… the electorate was limited to freeman, who had been examined for their religious views and formally admitted to the local church. As a consequence, the colonial leadership exhibited intolerance to other religious view, including Anglican, Quaker, and Baptist theologies.


Tribal distribution, ca. 1600.
Prior to the arrival of Europeans on the eastern shore of New England, the area around Massachusetts Bay was the territory of several Algonquian-speaking tribes, including the Massachusett, Nauset, and Wampanoag. The Pennacooks occupied the Merrimack River valley to the north, and the Nipmuc, Pocumtuc, and Mahican, occupied the western lands of present-day Massachusetts, although some of those tribes were under tribute to the Mohawk, who were expanding aggressively from present-day upstate New York. The total Indian population in 1620 has been estimated to be 7,000 with the population of New England at 15–18,000. This number was significantly larger as late as 1616; in later years contemporary chroniclers interviewed Indians who described a major pestilence that killed between one and two thirds of the population. The land use patterns of the natives included plots cleared for agricultural purposes, and woodland territories for the hunting of game. Land divisions between the tribes were well understood.
