Rev. Samuel2 Belcher (Jeremiah1), born in 1639, graduated from Harvard College in 1659, and studied for the ministry, and was preaching at Kittery, Me., as early as 1663. (Sibley's "Harvard Graduates," vol. II, page 42.) About 1665 he went to the Isles of Shoals where he was preaching as late as 1686 (York Deeds, vol. IV, page 64), but finally ill health obliged him to leave that place about 1692. Before 1695 he was preaching in the West church at Newbury, where he was ordained and settled Nov. 10, 1698. About 1711, the infirmities of age compelled him to retire from the ministry, and he removed to his native town, Ipswich, where he died Mar. 10, 1714-15. A contemporary minister, Rev. John Barnard, refers to him as "a good scholar, a judicious divine, a holy and humble man." He married first, about 1668, Mary,2 daughter of Rev. Thomas1 Cobbett of Lynn and Ipswich, who died about 1679; and married second, Mercy,3 born Feb., 1655-6, daughter of Rev. Michael2 and Mary (Reyner) Wigglesworth of Malden, and widow of Rev. Samuel Brackenbury of Rowley. She survived her second husband, and died Nov. 14, 1728.
