Chet (and all others who need this), Below is a five generation outline of John B. Stearns and his children. I can send you more if you need it. Most of the information came from the Bond book, the Van Wagenen book (about Isaac Stearns) , and Willard E. Stearns book about Isaac Stearns. Some of these sources had conflicting dates. I put the conflicting information on my "Notes" page and merely chose one of the stated dates to put in my file. Please let me know if you find any discrepancies with your information.
