Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stetson-301

Bathsheba Stetson was born in March 1692-93 in Massachusetts. She was the 8th child and daughter of Robert Stetson and Joanna or Deborah Brooks (married in 1676, dau. of William Brooks).

(Note: The Stetson Family sources are divided as to the name of Robert's Wife. In the Pembroke records, it records the Death of 6th child Peleg as the "son of Robert and Deborah Stetson" [5] Deane in 1831 says "Robert married Deborah Brooks, b. 1654, daughter of William and Susanna," but 16 years later Mr. Barry, says he married her sister Joanna. The 1933 Genealogy says he may have married both. [5])

On 16 May 1676, the Narragansett Indian raid on Scituate burned the Robert Stetson Jr. house. The next reference we have of Robert is in Duxbury, Massachusetts (Prior to 1700). The Stetson family may have moved shortly after the 1676 raid and it is likely that most of the Stetson children were born in Duxbury; however, additional sources are being sought to support this.

On November 22, 1715 Bathsheba married William Holmes at Pembroke, Massachusetts and the couple resided there until at least 1728. During this time, six children were born and record of their births can be found in the
