Biography

Nehemiah was born 1 Nov 1729 in Ridgefield Connecticut. His parents were Benjamin Stebbins and Sarah Mead.^[1]

Nehemiah was married (first) to Sarah, daughter of Nathan St John,^[2] (presumably sometime before 1752 when their first child was born).

This contradicts him first marrying Sarah Jessup as written in the Stebbins Genealogy.^[3]

He married (second) to Abigail Brooks on 6 Sep 1766 in Church of Christ, Salem, Westchester, New York, United States (now South Salem). ^[4][5]

He passed away in 24 Nov 1807. Burial was in the South Salem Presbyterian Church Cemetery in South Salem, Westchester County, New York^[6]
