Mar/2 Nov 28, 1688 (Berwick, Me) Mary Love. … Samuel Wyllys grad. H.C. 1653; chosen magistrate 1654, and continued in that office until 1685; in the absence of the governor and deputy governor, he was repeatedly appointed moderator of the General Court. In 1661, 1662, 1664, 1667 he was one of the Connecticut Commissioners for the United Colonies. He was extensively engaged in trade, and often absent from the colony. He had an interest in several sugar plantations at Antigua, in partnership with Richard Lord, and frequently went to the West Indies. His speculations proved unprofitable and as he had borrowed considerable money, his affairs became deeply involved, so that pecuniary assistance was granted him by the Assembly. This led to his withdrawal from the magistracy, but he retrieved his affairs, and he was again Assistant from 1680 to 1693, and also in 1698. His wife Ruth was living in 1680, but died before 1688."

"Nearly fifty years ago the late Mr. Horatio G. Somerby of Boston transcribed the following baptism from the parish register of Fenny Compton: 'Baptised 1631 February, Samuel son of George Willys, Gent. and Mary his second wife.'"
With Mr. Somerby's known tendancy towards "fabrication", independent corroboration of this entry in the parish register would be welcome.
