About this item

John Stebbins (1647-1724) served with Capt. Lathrop during King Philip’s (Metacom’s) War (1675-1678) and survived the 1675 attack at Bloody Brook in South Deerfield, Massachusetts. In 1682, he was one of Deerfield’s permanent settlers. His house was burned when French soldiers and their Indigenous allies attacked in 1704, and his entire family was taken to Canada; only he, his wife, and one son were redeemed. The grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren continued to occupy property near this site until the early 20th century. The photograph of the historical marker was taken about 1910, by Mary and Frances Allen.
