NOTE: From Planters of the commonwealth by Banks, page 177: On passenger list of Blessing gives John's age as "27" and Ann's name spelled as "Anne".
From History of Scituate, Mass. from its first Settlement to 1831 by Deane: "John Stockbridge, (wheelwright), took the oath of fidelity in Situate in 1638. He was one of the Conihassett partners 1646. He had a house near to John Hollet's, (perhaps a few rods south west of Jesse 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 England, 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..."
From Directory of the Ancestral Heads of New England Families 1620-1700, by Holmes: JOHN, wheelwright, b.Eng., 1608, settled Scituate, Mass., 1635, removed Boston, Mass., 1656, where he died Oct. 13, 1657.

NOTE: From An Historical Sketch of the Town of Deer Isle, Maine by Hosmer page 125/6: CAPTAIN BENJAMIN STOCKBRIDGE settled upon the lot of land lying west of Mr. Richards, but he was not of the class who were here prior to 1784. He came from Gloucester, Massachusetts, and was a ship-master and in good circumstances. It was said that he commanded the ship which first carried the American flag up the Dardenelles. The exact time of his coming is to us unknown, but it was prior to the survey of the town by John Peters, Jr., as his name appears as the occupant of a lot on his plan. His death took place not far from 1830, at an advanced age. He was a member of the Baptist Church here, and when some difficulty occurred between him and some of his neighbors--members of the same church--and an examination was made before the church, Captain Stockbridge read the thirtieth chapter of the book of Job, beginning with: "But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock." His family consisted of two sons, Mr. John Stockbridge, who removed to Swan's Island, and Benjamin, who was lost at sea when a young man. Mr. John Stockbridge died several years ago and was the ancestor of all of that name there. One of his daughters was the wife of Mr. James Duncan, who came here as early as 1800. Another was the wife of Captain John Greenlaw who died in 1870, at the age of eighty-seven years, after having lived with his wife, who survived him, sixty-six years. Another was the wife of Mr. James Greenlaw, a brother of Captain John Greenlaw. Another was that of Captain William Grover, of isle au Haut, who removed to Islesborough, and another was the wife of Mr. George Grover. Captain Stockbridge when young was a man of capacity and energy, but had become, before his removal here, somewhat reduced in circumstances.
