The original record in Weston says Samuel d. 11 Oct 1756. It is shown on p. 101 with the notation "A mistake for Susanna", and a list of corrections on p. 583 says "Samuel Hobbs lived and married. It was Susanna who died." However, Bond, p. 300, was fooled by the original record and incorrectly shows Samuel, b. 1752, d. 1756.
