Hi Betsy, Ok. The source for Samuel is pg 3379 of ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM, Frederick Virkus THE ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM OF AMERICAN GENEALOGY FIRST FAMILIES OF AMERICA THE ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM OF AMERICAN GENEALOGY The Standard Genealogical Encyclopedia of THE FIRST FAMILIES OF AMERICA EDITED BY FREDERICK A. VIRKUS VOLUME I 1925 F. A. VIRKUS & COMPANY Genealogical Publishers 440-442 S. Dearborn Street Chicago, Ill which shows a decendancy chart beginning with Samuel. And the source for Margaret Hunnewell, although not a "proven" source, is: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/e/r/Dana-K-Berry/GENE2-0001.html Hope this helps!
