Stearns of Massachusetts

My Stearns line is from England and they settled in Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts. This is a recently discovered line, and I'm happy to add this family to my tree. As in the past, my direct lines are in All Caps, and now in Bold. I will be glad to share what I used as sources.
