    , In 1888, in celebration of its 250th Anniversary, the towns people of Milford had a bridge & tower of stone errected over the river upon whose banks the first habitations were placed and near the spot where the first mill was erected.
    Along the sides of the bridge individual memorial stones where placed honoring the original settlers and prominent persons in the history of Milford. The tower, bridge and memorials were dedicated on 28 August 1889. The memorial stones were all by private donation.
    JOHN STREAM. Obit 1685. MARTHA BEARD his WIFE.
    He is called on Town records " Ensign." He had five daughters. Mary married David Baldwin, son of Joseph (t5), Abigail married Thomas Tibbals, son of the pioneer. Sarah married Ephraim Burwell, son of John (r3). Martha married Thomas Coley, son of Samuel, one of the men of 1639. Under this block on the coping is cut the name of his mother-in-law, MARTHA BEARD (widow).
    Lambert says she brought with her three sons and three daughters ; that James died in 1642, and his estate was settled by Captain Astwood, and it was the first estate administered upon in Milford. Jeremy probably died without issue, as his estate was divided between his -brother, Captain John Beard, John Stream, and Nicholas Camp, " husbands of his sisters," says the record. They may have let their wives have a little of it. All of the name in Milford descend from her son John, who had the military title of Captain. Her husband probably died on the ship (Martin ?) on passage over, and in consideration of her affliction the town gave her an extra amount of land • in the divisions. Her home lot took in the land on Broad street, extending from Mr. Charles A. Tomlinson's corner to the large elm in John G. North's place.
    David Bryan Ingersol, a descendant through her granddaughter, Mary (Stream) Baldwin, gives this stone.
