May. SAMSON, Portsmouth, R. I. s. of Philip, m. 4 Mar. 1675, Isbel,
d. of John Tripp, had Philip, b. 16 Jan. foll.; Sarah, 24 Sept. 1677;
Alice, 12 Jan. 1680; Samson, 28 Jan. 1682; Abiel, 15 Oct. 1684; and
Job, 8 Nov. 1687. SAMUEL, Ipswich, 1636, of importance eno. to be
disarm. with only one more of that town, Nov. 1637, as danger. heretic,
d. bef. 1660, leav. ch. Samuel, Nathaniel, and Mary Clark, but wh. was
the w. is not seen. SAMUEL, Boston, husbandiman; perhaps br. of Philip,
by w. Grace had Philip, b. 31 Dec. 1637; Martha, 5 Sept. 1639; both
bapt. 8 Mar. 1640; Nathaniel, 19 Dec. 1642; Jonathan, 11 Feb. 1644,
a. 3 days old; and Philip, d. young. He had join. the ch. 1 Mar. and
was adm. freem. 13 May 1640; and his w. join. the ch. 29 Aug. 1641;
he d. early in 1645, and in 1652 the Gen. Ct. interfer. in admin. of his
est. by the deacons of Boston ch. ‡ SAMUEL, Stratford, br. of Rev.
John, perhaps did not come so early as 1634, wh. Cothren, 60, assumes,
but was aft. 1640 some yrs. at Wethersfield, there had houselot, giv. by
his f.; was among first resid. at Stamford, and had sev. ch. b. there; was
chos. an Assist. 1662, 3, 4, and aft. the union of the Cols. of Conn. and
N. H. 1665-7, but tho. nominat. for 1668, he fail. of the elect. and is no
more heard of exc. in project. with others, 1672, settlem. of Woodbury.
Cothren says he m. in Eng. Sarah Mitchell, and brot. her hither; but
this is to the last degr. improb. for he brings him in 1634, then only 19
yrs. old at most, perhaps only 18, and in the mo. country very few so
young were m. beside wh. he calls this w. sis. of Rev. Jonathan, wh.
does not seem to have had such sis. at least we kn. that Richard Mather,
a fellow passeng. with Mitchell's f. in 1635, has no refer. to a d. then m.
on our side of the water, and f. Mitchell in his will of 1646 names ds.
only Susanna and Hannah, no Sarah; and beyond that, our Sherman
tribe was from the E. part of Essex, while the Mitchells were of the W.
Riding of Yorksh. on the edge of Lancash. opposite sides of the kingdom,
between wh. two hundred and thirty yrs. ago intercourse was very
rare. Reconciliat. of the principal fact (if it be true) may be gain. by
a resona. conject. that the m. tho. it could hard. have occur. in Eng. was
some yrs. aft. com. of the parties hither. The dates of b. of their ch.
give further evid. as Cothren hims. furnish. them, of his error, as the
earliest is 1641, and the latest 1665, wh. is beyond the usual result of a
m. in 1634. His roll, with slight correction, is: Samuel, b. 19 Jan.
