Family of William STEPHENS and Abigail VESEY

William STEPHENS b. 1757 Oct 9944 at (bapt) North Parish841.
Abigail VESEY b. 1762 Mar 16389 at Braintree, MA389.

Married2852 1783 Apr 252852 at (intention) Braintree, MA2852. Bates2852, p 884, [268] Intentions of Marriages Entered. 1783. April. "25th. William Stephens & Abigail Veazie both of this town."

The connection of William Stephens to Samuel Stevens and Hannah Blackman is possible, if not probable, but not conclusive. Sprague841 concludes that William Stevens, son (Quincy VCR944, "Wm son of Saml Stevens") of Samuel Stevens and Hannah Blackman, was the William "Stephens" (Bates2852 mrg rec p 884, "both of this town [Braintree]") who married Abigail Veazie. Hillman800 does not make that connection, observing that there were (at least) five William Stevens/Stephens in Massachusetts in 1790.
