Our Story
Job Sylvester and his wife, Margaret Stetson were married in Hanover MA at the First Congregational Church. Margaret was the Daughter of Abijah Stetson. Abijah was the Great Grandson of Cornet Robert Stetson (1613-1702), the Son of Capt. Benjamin Stetson (1641-1711). In October 1797, Job moved to Durham Maine. Margaret is buried in the Sylvester Cemetery along with her Husband. This starts the Mayflower Society & Stetson Kindred linkages in our lines of History.
