      BIRTHPLACE OF TWO YOUNGEST CHILDREN, ROSWELL AND ESTHER:
      In the packet of pedigree charts and family group records distributed by the Roswell Stevens
      Family Organization in 1963, compiler Dale Anderton used Litchfield, Litchfield, Connecticut
      as the place of birth for Roswell Stevens (b. 1772) and Esther Stevens (b. 1776) and Plainfield,
      Windham, Connectitcut, as the birthplace of all other children of Nehemiah Stevens. All other
      researchers have used Plainfield as the birthplace for Roswell and Esther, as well. The birth
      of this Roswell Stevens does not appear to be listed in the Barbour Collection of Connecticut
      Town Vital Records for either Plainfield or Litchfield. The birth of Esther is included in the
      records of Plainfield. Also, the death of Nehemiah on 13 Feb 1776, shortly after the birth
      of Esther, is included in the records for Plainfield. Therefore, it is likely that Plainfield was
      the birthplace of this Roswell Stevens, as well.

      PROBATE AFTER DEATH OF NEHEMIAH STEVENS:
      A probate filed in Plainfield Precinct Court on 1 Oct 1776 provides "This Court appointed
      Hepzibah Stevens guardian to and for Daniel Stevens, Rebecca Stevens, Rausel Stevens, and
      Esther Stevens, heirs, sons and daughters of Nehemiah Stevens, deceased, of Plainfield...Then
      Mrs. Hepzibah Stevens personally appeared and acknowledged herself bound in the amount of
      30 pounds for each of the above children." Per "LYBERTIE, by H.V. Hall, page 208.
