Notes - (All of the following notes are from Rootsweb genealogy of Raymond T. Wing.)
"Stephen . . . was three years old in 1624 when his mother embarked from England with him and his older sister Deborah for Holland. Stephen, like his brothers, spent the first years of his life at Flushing and at The Hague, and came to New England with his mother when nine years old."
"He married Osheah Dilingham sometime in the Fall of 1646 being at that time twenty-five years of age. Then followed an event possible
only under the strict code of morals . . . of the Pilgrims . . . young Stephen was before the Plymouth Court, March 2, 1647, and fined because of the fact that a child was born to his wife at an unseasonable time after their marriage. The Court records the 'the said Wing coming into the face of the Court, freely acknowledging, he was according to order of the Court fined and discharged.' Governor Bradford signed the record."
"Stephen Wing, son of the Rev. John and Deborah Wing, settled in Sandwich in 1637 . . . He was a member of the first Friends Meeting in America, established at Spring Hill in 1658, and suffered a great persecution at the hands of the Plymouth Government in the cause of Religious Liberty. He died in 1710 and is buried at Spring Hill."
"He was probably one of the last, if not the very last, of the original settlers of Sandwich [Plymouth Colony] to survive. He lived 63 years in Sandwich after the date of the first settlement in 1637."
Stephen died at age 88.
"Stephen committed 'my body to Decent Buruall at our friends Burieng place att Spring Hill until when God shall please to call me Hence.' Unquestionably he lies there among the unmarked graves."
"Will dated Dec. 2, 1700, proved July 13, 1710. Sons Ebenezer and Matthew executors; mentions sons Nathaniel, Elisha, John, Ebenzer,
Matthew, daughters Sarah Gifford, Abigail and grandson Jeremiah Gifford. Inventory shows personal estate,
