He came to America on the Francis of Ipswich, April 1634 at age of 42 yrs from Essen County, England. Born near the Parish of Stebbing. Landed in Boston 1634, settled in Roxbury, MA, which was the 6th town incorporated in Massachusetts.

His wife Hannah died Oct 16 1660 only weeks after their son Rowland was born. Thomas married Widow Abigail Burt. Abigail had previously been widowed twice. Thomas died in 1683 and Abigail died 1707.
Thomas Stebbins was a surveyor and tailor. His skills as a tailor came in handy for the purchase of land from the Indians, who valued English-style clothing. Clothing made by the tailors were traded to a local Indian chief in return for the land that later became the town of Hadley. The efforts of Benjamin Cooley as weaver, plus those of Thomas Stebbins and Samuel Marshfield, the local tailors, would seem to have played a part in bedecking of the Indian chieftain.
