"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.Family/Spouse: Elizabeth Stream. Elizabeth (daughter of John Stream and Elizabeth Whitman) was born about 1610; died on 27 Oct 1694 in Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
