  • Notes 
    • Samuel and Mary lived in Charlestown on his father's farm. He was involved in the disputes with John Guppy. Later he built a separate house on the same property and his eldest son, Joshua, was left on the homestead and received it as his legacy. Samuel served as Constable in Charlestown in 1657.

      Mary and Samuel's children were not baptized as infants. Mary's brother, Benjamin Sweetser, took a brave stance for religious freedom by following his convictions about the Baptist faith. A letter from Thomas Osburne to George Little, 1682, lists Mrs. Sweetser as involved, with her son Benjamin, in the formation of the Baptist Church in New England. It would appear that Samuel and Mary followed the Baptist belief about infant baptism.

      One "William Godden, ... was perhaps a roving trader who exchanged sugar and tobacco for Beaver pelts and other merchantable productions of the country." He wrote a will in which he left fifteen pounds to Mary and the balance of his estate for the education of poor children in Charlestown and Malden. This may have been the first public funding of education in New England; however there is no record of the expenditure of the funds. Samuel was to choose another person and the two be made executors. In March 1665/6, William Godden was found drowned and soon after Samuel, having proved the will as executor, brought a suit against Ralph Shepard for the sixteen pounds debt to Godden's estate in 1652. (Corey, History of Malden, 600, 601.)

      In 1687 Samuel and second wife Hannah bought property from Henry Jaques in Andover and settled there. Samuel was active in town affairs. In 1690 he was a signer to a petition against the careless licensing to sell strong drink. He served as Constable in 1694 and Selectman. He is called a husbandman.
