    6130 Samuel moved from Duxbury,Ma to Milton in 1656 where he built his home on Wadsworth Hill. In 1670 the house burned and the family moved into the barn where his son Benjamin was born. In 1675-6 Samuel served as a Captain in the Militia of Milton in King Philip's War, besides the following story, Capt Wadsworth participated in several Indian skirmishs throughout Massachusetts until the following....As the story is stated, by his son Benjamin(President of Havard College in the early 1700's), Capt. Wadsworth was sent from Boston with 50 men to releive Marlborough. After marching 25 miles, they were informed that the enemy had gone toward Sudbury,MA; so without stopping to take any rest, they pursued after them. On coming near the town, a party of enemy were discovered, and pursued about a mile into the woods, when all of a sudden they were surrounded on all side by nearly 500 Indians. With no chance of escape, this little band of brave men under the command of Capt Wadsworth now resolved to fight to the last man. They gained an eminence, which they maintained for sometime. While night was appoarching, they began to scatter, which gave the enemy the advantage, and nearly everyone was slain. The Battle of Green Hill, as it was known, was a dreadful blow to the country. President Wadsworth erected a monument where this battle was fought and his father was killed. The insciption reads, "Captain Wadsworth of Milton, his Lieutenant Sharp of Brookline, Capt Broclebank of Rowley, with about 26 other soldiers, fighting for the defence of their country, were slain by the Indian enemy April 18, 1676, and lye buried in this place." Capt Wadsworth left an estate valued at L1248, including his farm of 300 acres at Milton.[ Wadsworth, Captain Samuel (I263)
     
    6131 Samuel Packard (constable and tavern-keeper) was baptized on September
    17, 1612 in Stonham Aspal, a small village in the Mid-Suffolk region
    of England. He married Elizabeth 1643. Samuel died on November 7, 1684
    in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Elizabeth died on
    October 27, 1694 in Bridgewater.
    "The status of a yeoman farmer in these times was relatively good if
    he were successful, and there was enough social mobility that he could
    actually aspire to the status of the gentry for some of his children.
    Samuel was the third son. however, and in a land where promogeniture
    was the practice, he could expect little in the way of inheritance"
    (Packard, Karle S., "Samuel Packard and the English Origins of the
    Packard Family", an excerpt from a Packard's Progress editon).
    Samuel Packard with his wife, Elizabeth, and a daughter left Ipswich
    on the Ship Diligent on June 1638. They arrived in Boston Harbor on
    August 10, 1638. They immediately went to Hingham. They were in
    Highham in 1652, when his daughter Deliverance was baptised. The
    family then moved to Weymouth where Samuel was a Selectman from 1654
    to 1664 and some of his children were born in Weymouth. Then they
    settled in Bridgewater, Massachsuetts about 1664 where he was
    appointed Constable. Samuel purchased land in Bridgewater before
    August 1662. He was Collector of Minister's Rates in 1670, Surveyor of
    Highways in 1672, and Constable again in 1674. In 1671 Samuel was
    licensed to keep an ordinary (tavern) which he had in 1670. Since
    Samuel signed with a mark, this suggests that he could not write. This
    may be why some early records show the name as Packer.

    6132 SAMUEL STONE (Samuel, Uriah, John, Dea. Daniel, Elder John, Dea. Gregory), born in the "North County Gore" (now Oxford), Mass., 10 Sept. 1789, succeeded to his father's homestead on the latter's death in 1820. He occupied this farm, which adjoined the Leicester line, until 1834, when he sold out to his brother-in-law, Liberty Lamb, and removed to Ogden, N. Y., where he secured a new farm and homestead and resided there until his death, 13 Jan. 1876.
    He married 5 Dec. 1817, MARY FLAGG NEWHALL, born in Leicester, Mass., 6 Mar. 1801, daughter of Thomas F. and Eunice (Watson) Newhall; she died in Ogden, N. Y., 29 Mar. 1890

    6136 Samuel was born at Banbury, son of Christopher and Julian(Carter) Boreman, when Samuel was no more than five years old he accompanied his parents to the neighboring town of Clayton. He perhaps came to New England in April 1638 in the 'New Supply' for the journal of Mr. John Josselyn mentions a fellow-passenger named Boreman on the vessel. Samuel settled in Ipswich,MA, where he was mentioned as a cooper and had lands recorded to him on 22 Aug 1639. He may have had a first wife while living at Ipswich, but if so soon lost her or else his marriage to Mary Betts was earlier than generally supposed. His removal to Wethersfield may have been for the purpose of settling near his wife's family, and generally set in 1641. On 03 Nov 1659 he purchased of Nathaniel Dickinson, who had removed to Hadley,MA, a homestead extending from Broad Street westward along Fletcher's Lane to Bell Lane(now South Main Street). Samuel was much employed in public service. He was chosen townsman of Wethersfield for eight years, lister for two years, rate maker, surveyor of highways, and Constable. He was juror fifteen times between 1646 and 1662, and Grand Juror in 1660 and 1662. Samuel was Deputy for Wethersfield to the Connecticut General Assembly, from 1657 to 1671 Boreman, Samuel (I677)
     
    6137 Samuel was in Farmington, CT in 1673, removed to Waterbury CT, where he was one of the original settlers about 1677. He admitted to full communion of the Church of Farmington, 1 Mar 1679/80. He was one of the assignees of the first Indian deeds.

    Samuel's parents William Hickox who was born on 10 Dec 1609 in Stratford On Avon, Warwickshire, England and died before 1645 in Farmington, Hartford, CT. William married Elizabeth Cole in 1631 in Stratford On Avon England. Elizabeth was born in 1612 in Stratford On Avon, Warwickshire, England. She died on 3 Aug 1655 in Farmington, CT. They immigrated 11 Aug 1635, leaving London on the ship the Batchelor.

    6138 Samuel was living in North Bristol in Ontario County when he died in
    March 1853 after a short illness. His children were cared for by the
    Wheeler family in Bloomfield. 
    Fisher, Samuel Scolley (I15579)
     
    6139 SAMUEL, born in England, and came with his father to Scituate in 1634, thence to Barnstable, where he married: Nov. 28, 1644, Elizabeth Scudder, who had been dismissed from the church in Boston Nov. 10, 1644, to remove her church relation to that in Barnstable. She is reported in Savage as a sister to that John Scudder who was in Barnstable in 1640. He had made the acquaintance of Miss Scudder in Boston, where he commenced his business life as house builder, afterwards combining with this extensive farming operations. Their marriage was recorded by his father on the Barnstable Church Register as follows: "My sonn Samuel & Elizabeth Scudder marryed at my house by Mr. Freeman, Nov. 28, 1644." They settled in Barnstable, where his house stood next that of John Scudder. He is reported, in 1643, as one of the five Lothrops at Barnstable liable to bear arms.

    In 1648 Samuel removed to New London, Connecticut, then called Pequot. We now find Mr. Lothrop mentioned in two letters from Governor Winthrop to his son John, Jr., at Pequot. In one of these, bearing date Aug. 14, 1648, on the subject of obtaining a minister for the settlement, he writes: "Your neighbour Lothrop came not at me (as I expected) to advise about it," etc. His house lot in the new plantation was the third in order from that of John Winthrop, Jr., Esq., and his name is one of the first eighteen to whom were assigned lands on the east side of the "great river" of Pequot, and for these the lots were drawn on the 17th and 31st of January, 1648-9. Almost at once Mr. Lothrop is assigned by his new townsmen to places of responsibility and honor.

    The General Court of the State, May, 1649, organized a local court at Pequot, having for its judges John Winthrop, Esq., Samuel Lothrop, and Thomas Minor, giving them power to **t in the trial of all causes between the inhabitants in which the differences were under forty shillings.

    In 1650 he appears with fifteen other townsmen in town meeting "to arrange a system of co-operation with Mr. Winthrop in establishing a mill to grind corn." He received a large grant of land, also, on the west side of the Pequot river north of the settlement. It was about five miles up the river at a place called Namussuck. A farm of 260 acres at this place remained in the family until 1735, when it was sold by his grandson Nathaniel, after settling all claims, for 2,300 pounds. His "cattle marks" were recorded before 1650. When, in 1657, Uncas, routed by the Narragansetts, had been chased into the fort at the head of the Nahantick and was there beseiged, Lieut. James Avery, Mr. Brewster, Samuel Lothrop and others, well armed, succeeded in throwing themselves into the fort and aided in the defence. He sold his town homestead in 1661 to the Rev. Gershom Bulkley. This house stood beyond the bridge over the mill brook, on east side of highway toward Mohegan, "probably where now (1852) stands the Hallam House." In 1679 is recorded a contract of Mr. Lothrop for building the Second Church in New London. He removed to Norwich in 1668.

    Miss Caulkins in history of Norwich says, "after the first thirty-eight proprietors the next inhabitants who came in as grantees of the town are John Elderkin and Samuel Lothrop." A house lot was first granted to John Elderkin, who, finding it too far from his business, had it conveyed to Samuel Lothrop. Mr. Lothrop appears to have erected a house on the town street before 1670, which from that time became his home. The house built by Dr. Daniel Lathrop, his great-grandson, about 1745, probably stands upon the same site--now Mrs. Gilman's. The house lot of about seven acres on which he settled, covered mainly that hill side enclosed by the streets and lanes, as now, which lies south of the present residence of Daniel W. Coit, Esq., and extending down to the present Main street. He added during his life time successive tracts of land amounting to about four hundred acres. The town records of that time are very imperfect, but we find Samuel Lothrop recorded as "Constable" in 1673 and 1682, and as "Townsman" in 1685--dignified local offices in those days.

    After the death of his first wife, of which no record is preserved, he married in 1690, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a maiden lady, Abigail, the daughter of Deacon John Doane of Plymouth. She was born January 29, 1632, and lived until 1734, Mr. Lothrop having died February 29, 1700. The following notice of the second Mrs. Lothrop is found in Miss Caulkins' history of Norwich: "On her hundreth birthday a large audience assembled at her house, and a sermon was preached by the pastor of the church. At this time she retained in a great degree the intelligence and vivacity of her earlier years. At the time of her decease the descendants of her husband amounted to 365." Mr. Lathrop left a nuncupative will, proved in 1701.

    Samuel Lathrop is also an ancestor(4-greats grandfather) of President Ulysses S. Grant(1822-1885).

    6141 Samuel, son of Thomas (3) Newhall, was born in Malden, April 26, 1689, died April 17, 1733, aged forty-three years, according to the inscription in the Malden burying ground. His widow was made administratrix of his estate, with Daniel Newhall, April 23, 1733. She presented her account of administration, August 9, 1735. The dower was set off June 4, 1736, and the remaining two-thirds went to the eldest son, Samuel, who was to pay his brothers and sisters their shares.

Ezra, aged one, had Samuel Green, of Malden, as guardian, and he also was the guardian of Aaron, aged three; Jonathan, aged six; Thomas, aged ten, and Mary, aged thirteen. Thomas Burditt, of Malden, was guardian of Sarah, aged fourteen, and Nathan Sergeant, of Boston, of Joseph, aged seventeen, and Daniel Newhall, of Samuel, aged eighteen. The widow seems to have sold the homestead, or part of it, December 1, 1736, to Thomas Burditt; it was near the Captain's Mount, bounded by the land of Samuel Newhall, by a road, and by the land of John Wilson. Lieutenant Samuel Newhall married December 3, 1713, Sarah, born in Malden, October 30, 1695, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Green) Sergeant.

    6148 Sarah Ann Bardwell Obituary:
    Sarah Ann Bardwell, daughter of H.C, and S.M. Tolland, was born in Jefferson County, Mississippi Sept, 24, 1841 and died at her home in Clark County, Arkansas at 2 P.M., May 14, 1888. She was converted and joined the Methodist Church, South at Anon, Mississippi, Jan. 22, 1858, and came to Arkansas Dec 24, 1870. She was the Mother of nine children only one of who has preceded her to the grave.
    When dying she told her daughter Janie she was prepared to go, and she wished the Lord would take her, and not let her suffer so long.
    She was in agonies of death about twelve hours. She then expressed a desire to talk to all the family. And it seemed that strength was given her in tht last hour to do so. Her Husband came first to the bedside and she said to him. "Take care of my Children, try to get them to live right, and use the rest of your time in preparing to meet me in Heaven."
    She told her oldest son to live a better boy and to try to persuade the others to live better. "She told James, another son to take care of his little brother and to mee her in Heaven". To her youngest daughter she said "Be a good girl and do not throw yourself away, and never attend a dance." To her baby boy she said, "Try and make a good man," and pointing upward said, "Meet me up Yonder."

    Buried at Thompson Chapel Cemetery, Clark County, Arkansas

    6150 Sarah DeRemer Knauss (née Clark; September 24, 1880 – December 30, 1999) was an American supercentenarian considered the world's oldest living person by Guinness World Records from April 16, 1998, the date of the death of 117-year-old Canadian Marie-Louise Meilleur, until her own death. At age 117, she also set the record for the world's oldest "new" title-holder (which corresponds to the highest "valley" on a graph of the oldest living persons over time). Knauss is the second-oldest fully documented person ever, behind Jeanne Calment, and the oldest person ever of the western hemisphere. She was the last verified living person to have been born before 1885, and the most recent person to reach age 117. Clark, Sarah DeRemer (I39748)
