Source:Bond, Henry. Family Memorials. Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Including Waltham and Weston (1855), p. 172, says Samuel and Elizabeth had 3 children, Elisha Tileson, Elizabeth Boaz, Samuel; "who all d. young". Ironically, he named the 3, out of the 6 total children, that appear to have survived. Source:History of the Town of Dorchester, Massachusetts, who one might have hoped would have had better access to the town records, says on p. 532 that Samuel and Elizabeth "had three children, who died young" without mentioning that three others survived.
