[WFT pedigree #1426 glass of J Dayton.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3,Ed. 1, Tree #1426, Date of Import: Aug 7, 2000] Samuel waschristened on February 7, 1624 at Ashford, Kent, England and movedwith his family to New Haven around 1641. On May, 1645, he was blamedfor the loss of a cow when acting as herdsman but the Court judged itto be "an afflicting providence of God" so he didn't have to pay afine for sleeping on watch. In the early 1660's his wife died andhe went through a period of non-prosperity and had to apprentice twoof his sons and sell most of his land. However, after a move toSetauket, Long Island he purchased a home, was made Constable and thenOverseer and was often commissioned to deal with the Indians.
