Leslie,

Thanks for your response, but I was under the impression that this Stephen
Paine was not the one who was Jeremiah Norcross' nephew. Rather, the
Stephen Paine who married Elizabeth Carrington, daughter of Edward, and
lived in Charlestown was the nephew. He died in Charlestown in 1693.

Am I wrong?

evidently had a step-son named John Bland alias Smith, and in his will he
named Charles Chadwick of Watertown his "brother." Also, Stephen Paine of
Watertown called him his "uncle." Jeremiah came to New England between 1 Nov
1636 and 1638. He lived in Watertown but died in England in 1657 while
visiting there.
