"He is traditionally supposed to have been a native of County Essex, England, but no proof of this has been found." So says Jacobus, 1912648, v66 p327
Samuel was one of the original founders of New Haven in 1638. According to Virkus, he came over with the Davenport Colony that came on the "Hector" in June 1637. Some less respected sources give his arrival date at 1642 or 1643.
In 1652, he purchased a home and lot from John Thompson. In 1655, he was assigned a seat in the meeting house next to the soldier's seats and his wife was given one on the women's side. In June 1664, he attended the General Court in New Haven. On August 4, 1664, he took the oath of fidelity. Upon his death, his estate was valued at 86 pounds, 18 shillings
