My interest in Henry Samson comes from the beginning of my genealogical research. My late paternal grandmother, Susan May (Packard) (Cook) Haynes, said that she had Mayflower ancestry. After her death we found her notes, which erroneously and with a gap of a few generations traced a lineage to Henry. Fortunately I've been able to show that she was actually a descendant of Francis Cooke (by three lines), Stephen Hopkins and John Alden, and I'm working on nailing down a difficult Richard Warren line through her. The Samson/Sampson families are interesting and have ties to some of my ancestral families, thus the list of articles I've consulted. Dale H.
