- The Genealogies from Hudson's history of Lexington were published four years before Source:Pope, Charles Henry. Loring Genealogy, but for some reason they don't appear to have been consulted, and so the Loring Genealogy makes several errors in its discussion of Samuel Winship and Hannah Loring.
It says that Hannah Loring lived until 1771 because a death record is found saying ambiguously that Samuel's wife died, ignoring the marriage record to Abigail Crosby in 1748 and subsequent children's births. The death of Hannah Loring given by Hudson as 27 Jul 1747 does not seem to be recorded, but it is pretty clear the marriage could only be Samuel remarrying. In 1748, Samuel's father and mother (her death in 1761) were still alive and married, and Samuel's son was 4, so there seems to be no other candidate to have married Abigail Crosby who was b. 1717, so similar in age to this Samuel. None of Samuel and Abigail's children's names overlap with those of Samuel and Hannah Loring. So even without the death date of Hannah Loring, it still appears Samuel remarried in 1748, and thus, it was his new wife, Abigail Crosby, that died in 1771. Which is just what Hudson says.
The Loring Genealogy also says Samuel d. 1780, when Hudson says 1784. There are death records on both dates, but the one in 1780 says "Jr.". When Samuel's father died at 88 in 1776, Samuel would have become Sr. and a death in 1780 of Samuel Jr. would be his son. Which is just what Hudson says.
But when "Samuel, Jr." married Rebecca Johnson in 1771, the father was still alive, so Samuel Jr. would mean this Samuel. This is six months after Abigail Crosby died, so it is not the son who married Rebecca Johnson as the Loring Genealogy says, but this Samuel, The son married a Lucy ---, no marriage record, but known from the birth of their child in 1770. This birth, and hence the marriage, were both before Abigail Crosby had died so could not be this Samuel, and his father's 2nd wife Lydia was still alive, so could not be the father, only the son, b. 1744, would be available to marry Lucy by 1770. Which is just what Hudson says.
