I have been searching for years for Samuel's ancestry. Have found many false claims but nothing substantiated. He could not have been born in the New Haven Colony in 1624 because it was not founded until 1637. However, he did live there in Guilford and married Hannah Potter there in 1650. I would love to find out how he came there.
