  4. ↑ Some people show the death date as 9 May 1690. It is presumed they were confused by Hudson's comment, "He was in the ill-fated expedition to Canada in 1690". It does not say he was killed in the expedition, only that he was in it. The gravestone inscription as reported by Brown appears to have the age wrong, it should say 41. Unfortunately the Find A Grave photo does not allow us to read the tombstone to verify this. Hudson seems to cite this very gravestone in reporting the date as 9 May 1699, so he must have read it differently than Brown. Additionally, since Hudson mentions probate documents, it is presumed that he had adequate confirmation that this death date actually belonged to this Samuel before reporting it. For example, the list of heirs mentions Daniel as deceased, an event that occurred 29 Nov 1696.
