I noted that Banks in his "Planters of the Commonwealth" records Rowland Stebbins as bound for Springfield in 1634, this is impossible since Springfield wasn't founded by the Pynchon group until 1637. Savage simply means that Springfield is where these Stebbins first show up on the records, following their passage on ship "Francis" 1634. I have intended making the short hop to Springfield (the place of my own birth 2 Feb 1948, my mother's home!) from Storrs some 30 miles away or so. I plan to do this via my 'new" motorcycle I just changed the chain on. I used to pass thru Springfield headed to college & when I bought a brand-new Honda 160cc motorcycle in Springfield for $465 then, no kidding,... Well, I just bought my next motorcycle this past summer, 30 years later (also for abt $400+, the "witches" are kind!) 'used,' but with only 8000 perfect miles on it. Now I guess I'll "break it in" with a trip to the various archives at Springfield to look up our 'Disbrowe Network' there. Anyone have any questions you want me to look into there about our Disbrowe relations in that vicinity?? SSquires
