Death shown elsewhere as Cambridge (from BRYAN DUCHESNE) It has not been ascertained who the parents of Charles were. According to Avis Van Wagenen in her book "Genealogy and Memoirs of Charles and Nathaniel
Stearns, and Their Descendants", she quotes "There is a tradition in Lynn, Mass., that three brothers, names Daniel and Isaac (First Vol. I) and Shubael Stearns, came from England to America in 1630, and settled near Watertown, Mass.; that Daniel died unmarried; that Shubael and Isaac each brought their families with them; that soon after landing, Shubael and wife both died, leaving two sons, named Charles and Nathaniel, eight or ten years of age, who were reared and cared for by their Uncle Isaac; this same account was given by John Peck Stearns; that these sons afterwards married and each, as well as their Uncle Isaac, left a large family, from whom all of the name Stearns in America are supposed to have descended."
Another source, John B. Threlfall in an unpublished book, shows the father of Charles as being the son of Charles, who was born about 1581, who married 6 June 1609, Martha Lasall (or Hassall/Hassell?). It is noted that the younger Charles who was baptized 7 Jan 1615/16, "went to N.E. with his Uncle Isaac."
Death also reported as cir 1695 in Cambridge, MA. Freeman 1648, bot. 1648, est. of Edward Lamb.

Title: Dave Brown's Eexxtteennddeedd Family Plus Author: David Brown Publication: Rootsweb file dave-brown Title: Lexington MA Vital Records Note:
"Lexington was originally known as "Cambridge Farms." Among its early settlers were John Bridge and Herbert Pelham (who had grants of land here in 1642), Edward Winship (who built the first saw mill about 1650), Francis Whitmore, James Cutler and Nathaniel Bowman. The town was incorporated March 29, 1712, receiving its name, perhaps, from the parish of Lexington (variously, Laxington and Laxton), in Nottingham County, England. A church was organized October 21, 1696; and the Rev. Benjamin Estabrook was ordained as pastor. He was followed in 1698 by the Rev. John Hancock, who was a native of the place, and the father of Governor John Hancock.
Theodore Parker, a distinguished clergyman and author, was a native of Lexington; and his grandfather was the Captain John Parker who commanded the minute-men on the famous 19th of April. Ex- Governor George D. Robinson, also, was a Lexington boy. A good history of Lexington was published in 1868, written by Hon. Charles Hudson, a resident of the town."
