Mr. White was one of the early settlers of Taunton. Samuel hall's homestead was about a mile east of his father's and near the bloomery which he as largely interested in supplying; he was a large land holder, sharing in the "Taunton North and South Purchases" also inheriting and purchasing in the original tract; he held minor offices in town and was a member of the original church, and contributed four acres towards improving the parsonage for Rev.

9407 Samuel Mather, the second son of Richard who removed from Dorchester to Lyme, was born Jan. 3, 1684, and was but little over four years old when his father died. 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. They were blessed with four daughters and one son, our lineal ancestor, who was called Richard after his grandfather, the first of the family in Lyme. He married Deborah Ely. Samuel Mather died in Lyme, July 17, 1725, having been married but thirteen years. MATHER, Samuel (I101654)
 
9408 Samuel Morse was born in 1587, died April 5 (June 20), 1654. In the Register of Dedham, England was found: "Richard Morse married February 15, 1586, Margaret Symson, and their son Samuel was baptized July 25, 1587. 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)

Samuel's mother Mary was of French descent and strongly suppored the colonies during the revolution. William however, was a devoted King's man. This division in the family influenced their children. The three youngest sons, William, James and Joseph were Tories and went to New Brunswick, Canada to fight for the crown.

9412 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.

9414 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.

James Fitch, of Norwich, there being no College in Connecticut. He was the first minister of Windham, Conn. In a record kept by him, (now in possession of one of his descendants in Hartford,) he says,'I preached my first sermon at Windham, from the first verse of Genesis, on the first day of January, 1692-3'.

9431 Samuel Wight, born February 5, 1639, is the earliest Wight mentioned in Dedham records: "Samuell ye sone of our brother Thomas Wight was baptised ye 15th of ye 7 month 1640." He moved to Medfield about 1650 with his father. In 1662 "Henirry Smith, John Bowers and Samervell wight are chosen to burn the woods in there severall parts of the town as they live." The ancient Bible of Samyel's remote descendant, Martha Gibbs Wight now of Marietta, Geo., thus records his marriage: "Mr. Samel Wight and Miss Hannah Albee, of Medfield, Province of Massachusetts Bay in New England, were married by the Rev. Mr. John Wilson of the town aforesaid on the 25th day of March 1663." Samuel was made a freeman October 8. 1672, and as early as 1673 was settled in the north part of the town. The same year he was constable. His name appears in the list of Medfield proprietors, made in 1675. His home was burned by King Philip's Indians, February 21, 1676, but was rebuilt apparently on the same spot, the sit of which is still visible near the house of Mr. William C. Allen on the west side of North St. On account of his losses by the Indians, Samuel's subscription of one bushel of corn to the "new brick college" at Cambridge, was forgiven. For the same cause he petitioned for relief from his taxes, and the records of the General Court, May 9, 1678, show the following action:

"Samuel Wight of Medfield, having suffered great loss by fire by the Indian enemy, brought very low humbly desired the favor of the Court to remit him the rates about three or four pounds already due for the last year, hoping God will enable him to pay rates again for the future."

The name of Samuel appears in the earl list of Dedham tax-payers; his name and his wife's appear among the members of Medfield parish church in 1697; and his name occurs among the proprietors of the "black swamp" Medway in 1702. His will was made May 19, 1710, appointing his sons Samuel and Joseph executors. He died December 21, 1716; his widow died April 24, 1723; both in Medfield. 
WIGHT, Samuel (I101329)
 
9432 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)
 
9433 Samuel, born before 1660, married Sarah Downer. He is reported, in 1682, as then of age and among the proprietors of Bridgewater.

March 10, 1675, the constables of Bridgewater were fined L2 "for pressing Samuell Laythrope illegally, and hee a man unfit to go forth on the service"

9434 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)

Lieutenant Orrin Woodward Potter Daniels, distinguished World War II pilot, passed peacefully away last Sunday January 6, 2002 in Laguna Beach. He was 81. Lieutenant Daniels was raised and educated in his native town of Altadena, Calif. before attending Harvard as a history novice and was fluent in French. His education was cut short by World War II and his honorable need to serve his country as a Naval Air Transport Pilot. After the war and at the end of his military service, Lieutenant Daniels returned to Pasadena as an officer in banking management at 1st. National Bank. His specialty led to a banking position in Paris, France where he met and wed wife, Vogue model, Joan Evelyn Class in 1951, who preceded him in death in 1985. The details of his position made him a world traveler in his early retirement in 1972, when he became a philanthropist and champion for private causes until his death. In retirement he resided in Boston and Marblehead, Mass. and returned to Corona Del Mar in 1998. He is survived by his brother Donald Potter Daniels and his five children: son, mortgage banker Devin Potter Daniels of Laguna Niguel; daughter Nicole Daniels of Pasadena; John, Gabrielle and Dorian Schlueter and seven grandchildren.

9440 Sancho I, King of Portugal (pron. IPA /'s?~?u/), Sanctius I in English, nicknamed the Populator (Port. o Povoador), second king of Portugal, was born on November 11, 1154 in Coimbra and died on March 26, 1212 in the same city. He was the third but only surviving son of Afonso I Henriques of Portugal by his wife, Mafalda of Savoy. Sancho succeeded his father in 1185. He used the title King of Algarve and/or Silves between 1189 and 1191

In 1170, Sancho was knighted by his father, King Afonso I, and from that time he became his second in command, both administratively and military. At this time, the independence of Portugal (declared in 1139) was not firmly established. The kings of LeÛn and Castile were trying to annex the country and the Catholic church was late in giving its blessing and approval. Due to this Afonso I had to search for allies within the Iberian Peninsula. Portugal made an alliance with the kingdom of Aragon and together they fought Castile and LeÛn. To secure the agreement, Prince Sancho of Portugal married, in 1174, princess Dulce Berenguer, younger sister of king Alfonso II of Aragon. Aragon was thus the first Iberian kingdom to recognize the independence of Portugal.

With the death of Afonso I in 1185, Sancho I became the second king of Portugal. Coimbra was the centre of his kingdom; Sancho terminated the exhausting and generally pointless wars against his neighbours for control of the Galician borderlands. Instead, he turned all his attentions to the South, against the Moorish communities that still thrived. With Crusader help he took Silves in 1191. Silves was an important city of the South, an administrative and commercial town with population around 20,000 people. Sancho ordered the fortification of the city and built a castle that is today an important monument of Portuguese heritage. However, military attention soon had to be turned again to the North, where LeÛn and Castile threatened again the Portuguese borders. Silves was again lost to the Moors.

Sancho I founded the city of Guarda in 1199.

Sancho I dedicated much of his reign to political and administrative organization of the new kingdom. He accumulated a national treasure, supported new industries and the middle class of merchants. Moreover, he created several new towns and villages and took great care in populating remote areas in the northern Christian regions of Portugal, notably with Flemings and Burgundians ? hence the nickname the Populator. The king was also known for his love of knowledge and literature. Sancho I wrote several books of poems and used the royal treasure to send Portuguese boys to study in European Universities.

9441 Sancho IV the Brave (1257 or 1258 ? 25 April 1295, Toledo) was the king of Castile and LeÛn from 1284 to his death. He was the second son of Alfonso X and Yolanda, daughter of James I of Aragon.

His elder brother, Ferdinand de la Cerda, died in November 1275, and in 1282 Sancho assembled a coalition of nobles to declare for him against Ferdinand's son Alfonso, then took control of the kingdom when Alfonso X died in 1284. This was all against the wishes of their father, but Sancho was crowned in Toledo nevertheless.

Sancho was recognised and supported by the majority of the nobility and the cities, but a sizable minority opposed him throughout his reign and worked for the heirs of Ferdinand de la Cerda. One of the leaders of the opposition was Don Juan, his uncle, who united to his cause the lord of Vizcaya, Lope DÌaz III de Haro. Sancho responded by executing the lord of Vizcaya and incarcerating his uncle. According to the chroniclers, he cemented his hold on power by executing 4,000 other followers of the infante Alfonso, son of Ferdinand de la Cerda, in Badajoz. He executed 400 more in Talavera and much more als in ¡vila and Toledo.

Upon dispensing with this opposition, Sancho pardoned his uncle, who was released. Don Juan bided his time before fomenting revolt again: the conflict over Tarifa. He called in the aid of the Marinids of Morroco and besieged Guzm·n the Good in his castle (1291). At this siege occurred that famous act of heroism, the innocent death of the son of Guzm·n. Tarifa was faithfully defended until Sancho could rescue it and the Marinids retreated to Morroco. The intent of both Don Juan and the king of Morroco (to invade) was foiled.

When James II succeeded to the Crown of Aragon, he endeavoured to bind the two crowns more closely and to unite in the Reconquista. Indeed, both of James predecessors had tried to do likewise. Sancho was also the friend and tutor of Juan Manuel, Lord of Villena.

Just before succumbing to a fatal illness, he appointed his queen, MarÌa de Molina, to act as regent for his nine year-old son, Ferdinand IV. He died in 1295 in Toledo.
