Surnames: STEARNS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2AC.2ACI/29.738.739.1.1 Message Board Post: I have a Lucy STEARNS (sister of my Horace), born 1806. Their father was Josiah III (the third) born 1773. By the time Lucy was born they had settled in Wilmington, VT, which isn't far from Guilford. There is more info available about this Lucy Stearns in Avis Stearns Van Wagenen book (1901) entitled "Genealogy and Memoirs of Isaac Stearns and His Descendants" ... which I don't have. [Note: Josiah III had a brother Daniel born 1776 who could have named a daughter Lucy, but I don't have any more on him]
