Is anyone researching the Joseph Stearns family in Deering? Did Joseph Stearns have a daughter named Mary/Polly, born in 1791? A Polly Stearns married Noah Farrar Conant, of Townsend, MA in Deering, on April 7, 1810, settled in Deering and had a son, Noah, there in 1792, then moved on to Vermont. Joseph Stearns could have remained in Deering for a number of years. It would be great to share information on him with interested researchers. Thanks, Jim French
