  Isaac Stearns who settled in Watertown, came in the Winthrop Fleet,arriving at Salem in April and July, 1630. His is listed with wife Mary,and children John, Abigail, Elizabeth and Hannah, "of Stroke Nayland,Suffolk", and bound for Watertown. He is probably the ancestor of nearlyall of his name in Massachusetts. He was admitted freeman May 18, 1631, perhaps because he had been calledto serve on the first jury that tried a civic cause in New England, whenlarge damages were given against Endicott for his assault on ThomasDexter in the same month. He died 19 Jun 1671, and his will of June 14 provides for wife Mary, forchildren of his son John, the children of his daughter Mary, the childrenon daughter Sarah, and for Elizabeth and Abigail.
