Children of ABRAHAM SAMPSON and ESTHER(?) NASH

1. MARY SAMPSON 1, b. Abt. 1650, Freetown, Bristol, Massachusetts; d. 1716, Freetown, Bristol County, Massachusetts; m. SAMUEL HOWLAND 3, Bef. June 02, 1681.

   Notes for MARY SAMPSON:

   Abraham Samson (Laurence) uses this will (the will of Samuel Nash dated 2 June 1681) and other information to show that Samuel Sampson, the deceased grandson of Lt. Samuel Nash was a son of Abraham Sampson of Duxbury, and thus that Abraham Sampson had married a daughter of Samuel Nash. Since Nash did not mention other sons of Abraham Sampson, it appeared that Abraham had two wives, with the other wife unidentified. Martha Clarke was childless. With no indication that Nash had any other married children, Torrey felt it safe to assume that the granddaughters were daughters of Abraham Sampson by his first wife, and he identified them as Elizabeth Sampson, wife of Philip Delano, and Mary Sampson, wife of Samuel Howland (Henry1)" was baptized on 14 Aug 1614 in Campton, England. He married ___ Nash, daughter of Lieut. Samuel Nash, in probably, Duxbury, MA. He died circa 25 Aug 1701 in probably, Duxbury, MA. 5

   Evidence has been offered that Samuel, son of Abraham by his first wife, probably born about 1646 and that George, a son by Abraham's second wife, was born in or about 1655. Presumably, Elizabeth Sampson, who married Philip Delano, and Mary Sampson, who married Samuel Howland, were born between 1646 and 1655. 5
