9401	Samuel Boreman of Wethersfield, Conn., son of Christopher and Julian (Carter) Boreman of Claydon, near Banbury, Oxfordshire, England, was born in Banbury in 1615, and baptized there Aug. 20, 1615. He removed with his father's family about 1619, from Banbury to Claydon, their early home. he married, date unknown, Mary Betts, daughter of John and Mary Betts, who were of Claydon in 1627, and afterwards emigrated to New England, where the mother, then the "Widoe" Mary Betts, had a portion in the first grants of land in Hartford, Conn, and died there in the summer of 1647, being then called "the School Dame." Samuel Boreman's first appearance as a settler in New England is at Ipswich, Mass., where, in a list of inhabitants without date, he is called a cooper, and has land recorded to him, Aug. 22, 1639. He was no doubt in the country some time before this date, having very possibly arrived the preceding summer, when, as we learn fromGovernor Winthrop's Journal, very many came over. Among the twenty ships which arrived that season, was one called the "New supply, alias the Nicholas" of London, in which came Mr. John Josslyn, Gent., who kept a journal of this voyage, and also of one taken some years later, both of which were published in London in 1675. It is not only interesting, but curious, that Josselyn, who gives the names of very few on board, including those of not more than two or thee of the 164 passengers, should have happened to mention among the latter one called Boreman; he says: "Anno Dom. 1638 April the 26, being Thursday, I came to Gravesend and went aboard the new Supply alias the Nicholas of London, a Ship of good force, 300 tons burthen, carrying 20 Sacret and minion, man'd with 48 sailors. The Master, Robert Taylor, the Merchant or Undertake, Mr. Edward Tings, with 164 passengers, men, women, and children." Further he says: " On the eighth day, one Boreman's man, a passenger, was duck'd at the main yards Arm (for being drunk with his master's strong waters which he stole) thrice, and fire given to two whole Sacree at that instant."	BOREMAN, Samuel (I97902)

9403	Samuel Fancher was a farmer and shoemaker. He bought land in Tioga, NY in 1815 but probably never lived there. He was in South Salem in 1820 and New York City in 1835 and 1840.	FANCHER, Samuel (I77102)
9404	Samuel first appears on the records in 1684 as a drummer boy, whom the town refused to pay. From a deed recorded in 1700, we learn that he was a cordwainer, like his father, and that he had some education since he was able to write his name. His wife, Elizabeth, signed with her mark. In Jan. 14, 1714/15, his name appears on "a list of those who are proprietors, who are in possession of the first granted house lotts in Watertown" (Watertown Rec.). he was the public sealer of leather in Watertown for the years, 1719, 1920, 1921, 1922 (Watertown Rec.

In December 1724 Elizabeth Standish of Preston, Conn., deeded to "my son Rodolphus Fuller of Mansfield 216 acres in Mansfield.. given me by the will of my former husband Samuel Fuller deceased."	FULLER, Samuel (I23663)
9406	Samuel Fuller was one of the band of Pilgrims that fled from England to Leyden, Holland, in 1609. On 7 October 1611 he witnessed the betrothal of Degory Prist, and on 27 January 1612, the betrothal of a William White to Ann Fuller. Ann was possibly a kinswoman of Samuel. Samuel Fuller married first ALICE GLASCOCK, who died before 1613. He was betrothed in Leyden, Holland as the widower of Alice Glascock, 16 March 1613, to AGNES CARPENTER from Wrington, England, one of the daughters of Alexander Carpenter. She was baptized in Wrington 16 December 1593. At his betrothal Samuel was accompanied by Alexander Carpenter and William Hoyt, Samuel's brother-in-law, and by roger Wilson and Edward Southworth, acquaintances.Agnes was accompanied by her sister Alice, and by Agnes White.Samuel Fuller and AGNES CARPENTER were married 24 April 1613. She died in Leyden in 1615. Samuel married third in Leyden 27 May 1617 BRIDGET LEE, daughter of Josephine (from Dutch "Joos") Lee and sister of Samuel Lee, who were witnesses to the marriage. Later, Samuel lived in Pieterskerkhof; after marrying Bridge Lee, he took up residence near Marepoort. On 10 June 1620 he joined with Isaac Allerton, William Bradford, and Edward Winslow in a letter to their associates, John Carver and Robert Cushman, then in England, concerning the affairs of the pilgrims. According to Bradford's "History of Plimoth Plantatin", Samuel Fuller brought with him on the 'Mayflower' a serant by the name of William Butten, who died at sea. Samuel left his wife and a child behind; after they came over, "he had tow children by her, which are living and growne up to years, but he dyed some 15 years agoe." Samuel Fuller was a deacon of the church in Leyden and later in Plymouth. He was on of the forty-one signers of the Mayflower Compact. In the land division of 1623, Samuel was allotted two shares. The family was named in the division of cattle and goats, 22 May 1627 old style, when "Samuell Fuller, his wife Bridgett, and Samuel Fuller Jr." with ten other inhabitants received a "red Heyfer" and "two shee goats." He was a physician and surgeon, and his services were in demand in the Massachusetts Bay Colony as well as in Plymouth. In 1629 he was sent to Salem where many of the newly arrived colonists were ill. On 11 May Mr. Endicott wrote to Bradford in Plymouth expressing appreciation for Dr. Fuller's services. Debts for these services in 1629 and others rendered by the doctor may have gone unpaid, as Samuel Fuller in his will four years later wrote, "Whereas Capt. John Endecott oweth me two pownds of Beaver I give it to his sonne...Whatsoever Mr. Roger Williams is indebted to me upon my booke for Physick I freely give him...Whatsoever is due me from Capt Standish I give unto his children. In 1632 Samuel Fuller was a member of the Governor's Council, called Assistants. In 1633 Plymouth suffered an epidemic, believed to have been smallpox. Bradford wrote, "It pleased the Lord t Visite them this year with an infectious fevoure, of which many fell very sicke, and ipwards of 20 persons dyed...and in ye end (after he had much helped others) Samuell Fuller, who was their surgeon and phisition, and had been a great help and conforte unto them; as in his facultie, so otherwise, being a deacon ye church, a man godly, and forward to doe good, being much missed after his death..." Samuel Fuller died in Plymouth between 9 August and 26 September 1633. He made his will 30 July 1633 which was proved 28 October 1633. The will and inventory of his estate have been published in full..... Samuel's third wife, Bridget (Lee) Fuller, came to Plymouth in 1623 on the ANNE. Shortly after her husband's death she opened a small private school. In 1633 the town of Rehoboth voted to invite Mrs.Bridge Fuller to "Come and dwell amongst us, to attend on the office of midwife, to answer the towns necessity, which at present is great." The date and place of Bridget's death are not recorded, but she died after 2 May 1667 when she witnessed a deed.	FULLER, Samuel (I23660)

9408	Samuel Gorton, clothier, of London, was born in 1592 in Gorton (now incorporated within the city of Manchester), "where the fathers of his body had lived for many generations, not unknown to the Heraldry of England." He was reared in the Established Church. In an address to King Charles the first he said that he sucked in the so-called peculiar tenets attributed to him from the beasts of his mother the Church of England. To the fundamental doctrines taught by the church he ever firmly held, although he was a Nonconformist. England was under the rule of the Conformist King James. Laud was conspicuous in the universities; and they had declared it to be unlawful to be opposed to the king upon religion or any other subject. Gorton was instructed by private tutors, and, being of studious habits, he secured a classical education, became well read in English law and more than ordinarily skilled in the languages. "One of those noble spirits who esteemed liberty more than life, and counting no sacrifice too great for the maintenance of principal, could not dwell at ease in a land where the inalienable rights of humanity were not acknowledged." He left his native country, he says, "to enjoy liberty of conscience in respect to faith toward God and for no other end." He landed at Boston in March, 1636, with his wife Mary (daughter of John Maplet, gent, of St. Martin's le Grand, London, and Mary his wife), his son Samuel and one or two other children. At the time of his arrival the Massachusetts government was proceeding against Wheelright, the brother-in-law of Annie Hutchinson. He says he found the people of the colon at great variance in points of religion, prosecuting it very hotly in their courts unto fines and banishments. Their laws prohibiting non-subscribing churchmen from living there, he took up his residence in Plymouth, which was then a more liberal colony...... Samuel died in the year 1677 in December, probably the 10th day of the month, aged within a few days of eighty-six years. The time of Mary's death is unknown. His body rests in the Gorton Burial ground at Warwick, and her body also probably rests there. No monument of marble or stone has ever marked their graves.	GORTON, Samuel (I103981)

SAMUEL was now with his wife imbibing freely and preaching ardently the doctrines of Anabaptism. He says in his diary; "God having enlightened both (but mostly my wife) into his holy ordinance of baptizing only of visible believers, and being very zealous for it, she was mostly struck at, and answered two terms publicly, where I was said to be as bad as she, and sore threatened with imprisonment to Hartford jail, if not to renounce it or to remove; that scripture came into our minds: "If they persecute you in one place flee to another; and so we did a day of October, 1648. We went for Rhode Island and arrived there the 12 day. I and my wife upon our manifestation of our faith were baptised by brother Joseph Clarke, 3 day of November, 1648." SAMUEL HUBBARD spent the remainder of his life in and about Newport, or "Mayford" as he termed it. He was a zealous Baptist and public religious disputant.

His wife's name was Mary ?, but there appears no record of his marriage. His name appears as a resident of Wethersfield in 1692.

He was a namesake of his uncle, the Rev. Samuel Mather of Windsor, Conn. His father had bought a farm the year preceding his death, and Samuel as he grew up assisted in its cultivation. As he was not married until he was forty-one, we may assume that he was either very bashful or not very successful in his business or his love-making. He finally on New Year's day, 1712, found a Saybrook bride in the person of Deborah Champion, daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Brockway) Champion, the first settler of the name in Saybrook.

At the time of Samuel's decease in Dedham, Mass., in 1654, he was 67 years of age, whence it is argued that tis Samuel is more likely to have been the son of Richard and Margaret Morse than of Rev. Thomas Morse, whose will Rev. Abner Morse, placed on record as promising to have been that of the father of Samuel of Dedham, Mass. Samuel Morse married, before he left England, Elizabeth, who was born in 1587, died in 1654.	MORSE, Samuel (I1882)

9428	Samuel purchased land on April 28, 1757 from DANIEL LAURENCE, JR. of Canaan, in the County of Litchfield and Colony of Connecticut. He paid 50 pounds. In the summer of 1773, he sold all of his lands in Litchfield County and emigrated to Wyoming Valley. On August 24, 1776, it was voted at a town meeting, to erect certain forts "as a defence against our common enemy," the British and Indians. Among the forts erected in compliance with this resolution, was one on Garrison Hill, in Plymouth; and for this Samuel hauled the first log. Samuel was commissioned by Congress, a Captain of the company August 26, 1776, Wyoming at that time being in Westmoreland Co., then within the jurisdiction of Connecticut. He served in New Jersey and Pennsylvania during the years 1777 and 1778, and was killed at the Wyoming massacre July 3, 1778. Excerpt from "the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys": Samuel Ransom during the French and English war was a soldier in one of the Connecticut battalions. His name first appears on the pages of Wyoming history, October 2, 1773, when he purchased of John Ransom "lower tier lot No. 10" in Plymouth township, Wyoming Valley. About this time he was admitted an inhabitant of Plymouth, and removed there from Canaan with his family. On March 2, 1774, he was selectman of Westmorland (Wyoming) and surveyor of highways, and in 1775 was constable of the town. He hauled the first log for the erection of Fort Shawnee, August, 1776, and at this time was captain of the Third Company, Twenty-fourth Regular Connecticut militia, having been commissioned in October, 1775; but having been commissioned captain in the continental service August 26, 1776, he gave up command of the militia, and with Captain Durkee began to raise the two Wyoming independent companies. Captain Ransom and his men were with Washington in the campaign of 1777, at Bound Brook, Mud Creek, Brandywine, Germantown, and other points, and went into winter quarters at Valley Forge. In May, 1778, he hastened back to Wyoming and took part in all the events preceding and during the battle. Early in the fight he was wounded in the thigh, was left on the field and fell into the enemy's hands and when the bodies of slain Americans were afterward gathered for burial, Captain Ransom's body was found near the ruins of Fort Wintermoot, covered with gashes and with the head cut off. After the battle the widow, Esther Ransom, fled with her six children to the Delaware, and finally made their way back to Connecticut. Early in 1780 she returned with the children to Plymouth.

9430	SAMUEL R. SLAYTON, one of the venerable pioneers of Oregon and well acquainted with the various sections of the Pacific coast, is now living a retired life in Prineville, Oregon. He was born in Windsor county, Vermont, on August 27, 1830. Leland Slayton, his father, was also born in the same county and there remained until his death, being a farmer all his life. He was a very prominent man in religious matters, being at first a Universalist and then a member of the Adventist church. The original Slayton family came from England to America among the earliest colonists of Massachusetts. A little later they located in Vermont, being the first settlers in Woodstock. The father married Cassendana Ransom, who was also born in Woodstock. She came from a very prominent family of a distinguished martial record. Her brother, Truman B. Ransom, was president of the Norwich Military Academy in Vermont and later was a colonel in the Mexican War and was killed during the battle of Chapultepec. His son, Greenfield Ransom, was a brevet major general in the Civil War. Our subject began his education in his birthplace, then entered the Kimball Union Academy, New Hampshire, but before completing the course he decided to come west and accordingly journeyed across the plains in 1852 to Sacramento, California. A few weeks later he started for Linn county, Oregon, and there took a donation claim near the present city of Harrisburg. He made several trips to the mines in California, then he sold his donation claim and took another piece of land in what is row Douglas county, Oregon. He improved that well, taught school and did mining, and in 1863 sold out and came to Polk county, Oregon. In 1869 we find him in what is now Crook county. Prineville then being composed of one building. He located in the vicinity of Prineville and took some stock on shares. Notwithstanding his early labors, fortune had not smiled upon him and he started here with very little means. The constant and industrious efforts brought, their due reward and he began to prosper and has become one of the wealthy and leading stock men of central Oregon. Recently Mr. Slayton retired from active life and simply attends to the oversight of his business from Prineville. In 1858 Mr. Slayton married Eliza J. Savery, who was born in Mississippi, the daughter of Seaborn and Massie Savery. The father died in Iowa. Mrs. Slayton, who died October 31, 1901, came across the plains in 1852 and settled in Douglas county, where she met and married the subject of this sketch. Mr. Slayton took part in the terrible Indian struggles and saw three months' service in the Rogue River War. The children born to our subject and his wife are Edgar T., a rancher in Crook county ; George S., a rancher in Cottonwood, Idaho ; Mrs. Virginia U'Ren and Mabel Engs. For many long years Mr. Slayton has labored here and has achieved a success of which any one would be proud. He is now enjoying the fruits of his labors surrounded by many admiring friends. He certainly is to be classed among the leading citizens of the county and has done well the extended labors which he has performed.

9448	Samuel's boyhood was passed on his father's farm in the customary manner of the sons of the average farmer of those days, assisting in season with the work on the farm and attending the neighboring district schools during the winter months. While yet in his teens, in his 19th year, desirous of furthering his studies, he entered the State Normal School at Bridgewater, Massachusetts, from which he was graduated in 1857. For a short time after his graduation he was engaged as a clerk in the general store of Joshua E. Crane, but soon accepted a clerkship in the office of Messrs. Bates, Hyde & Company, manufacturers of cotton gins, at Bridgewater, which was the beginning of what proved to be a most honorable and successful business career. His deportment, application and all around adaptability to the business of the establishment commended itself to his employers and it was not long where he was thoroughly familiar with all the details of the business and given the opportunity of entering the concern as an interested member. This opening was taken advantage of by him and he continued actively identified with the same until his death. Upon the breaking out of the civil war, Mr Gates offered his services to his country, enlisting in the regular army of the United States at Washington, for 5 years, and was detailed for duty in the adjutantgeneral's office in the war department under Marjor Samuel Breck, then assistant adjutantgeneral and afterwards adjutant-general of the United States army In 1864 he was given an honorable discharge by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, and he then returned to Bridgewater, resuming his position with Messrs. Bates, Hyde & Company. In 1877 the business was incorporated under the name of the Eagle Cotton Gin Company, and Mr Gates was made treasurer of the new corporation, continuing to discharge most satisfactorily the duties of that office until 1899,when this concern with other similar plants consolidated under the name of the Continental Gin Company, of Birmingham, Alabama, the latter concern being incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. Mr Gates was then made a director of the new corporation, and from that time until his death continued in charge of the plant at Bridgewater. As he was noted for his generosity, it was naturally to be expected that he would be liberal in his public bequests.	GATES, Samuel Pearly (I24403)

9450	Samuel, of Haverhill, lived in the West Parish, and his house stood on the spot where the West Parish Church now (1889) stands. Chase, in his History of Haverhill, says: "February 22, 1698, this Samuel Ladd, with his son Daniel, and Jonathan Haynes, with his son Joseph, who lived in the western part of the town, had started that morning with their teams, consisting of a yoke of oxen and a horse each, to bring home some hay which had been cut and stacked the preceding summer in their meadow in the extreme western part of the town. While they were slowly returning, little dreaming of present danger, they suddenly found themselves between two files of Indians, who had concealed themselves in the bushes on each side of their path. There were 7 of them on each side, with guns, presented and cocked, and the fathers seeing that it was impossible to escape begged for 'quarter.' To this the Indians replied' boon quarter, boon quarter.' (good quarter.) Young Ladd, who did not relish the idea of being quietly taken prisoner, told his father that he would mount the horse and endeavor to escape. But the old man forbade him to make the attempt, telling him it was better to risk remaining a prisoner. He cut his father's horse loose, however, and giving him the lash the horse started off at full speed, and though repeatedly fired at by the Indians, succeeded in reaching home, and was the mans of giving an immediate and general alarm. Two of the Indians then stepped behind the fathers and dealt them a heavy blow upon the head. Mr Haynes, who was quite aged, instantly fell, but Ladd did not. Another of the savages then stepped before the latter and raised his hatchet as if to strike. Ladd closed his eyes, expecting the blow would fall, but it came not, and when he again opened his eyes he saw the Indian stepped behind him and felled him at a blow. The Indians, on being asked why they killed the old men, said they killed Haynes because 'he was so old he no go with us,' meaning that he was too aged and infirm to travel; and that they killed Ladd, who was a fierce, stern looking man, because, 'he so sour.' They started for Penacook, where they arrived with the 2 boys."	LADD, Samuel (I34696)
