Also Samuel's name is NOT on the Bloody Brook monument in South Deerfield that lists the dead (visitation). I have researched this all long ago when I found this contraction. I have no doubts of what I have found for my determination (history and sequence of events). I am at a different place in my book writings and not in position to stop and re-research this for a debate (sorry Mike). I probably should have stayed out of this one.
