9451 Samuel Whiting received his early education from his father, and afterwards finished his education for the ministry under the direction of Rev. 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'. 'I was ordained at Windham, on the 4th day of December, 1700.' Rev. Mr. Whiting died at Enfield, while on a visit to his cousin, Rev. Nathaniel Collins, September 27, 1725. (Mr. Collins was also his brother-in-law, having married Alice Adams the sister of his wife.) WHITING, Rev Samuel (I83329)
 
9452 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)
 
9453 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)
 
9454 Samuel, born before 1660, married Sarah Downer. He is reported, in 1682, as then of age and among the proprietors of Bridgewater. His will, dated Bridgewater, Apr. 11, 1724, he " being old," names as legatees daughter Mary Keith, Josiah's wife, sons Samuel, John, Mark, and Joseph, to each of whom he had given lands before, and to his son Edward, who is also made executor, the rest of the estate.

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" 
LOTHROP, Samuel (I96450)
 
9455 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)
 
9456 Samuel, William, Nathaniel, John and James, were Representatives and James was also Assistant to the Governor, or member of the upper house and Speaker. the Conn. Gen. says that Nathaniel and James were twins, born in 1677. this is a mistake--see inventory of the estate of John Wadsworth; taken Nov. 6, 1689, where the names and ages of his children at the time are given: Nathaniel, 15 and James 12. The ages of the others as there given were: Samuel 29; Sarah, 31; John 27; William, 18; Thomas 9, and Hezekiah, 6. WADSWORTH, John (I83062)

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.

9460 Sanchia was crowned at Aachen, Queen of the Romans when her husband was crowned King of the Romans. PROVENCE, Sanchia Of (I45539)
 
9461 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.

9462 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.

9471 Sarah's brothers John and Samuel Wakeman were prominent settlers in New Haven. WAKEMAN, Sarah (I58907)
 
9472 Sarah's father was an early settler of Hartford and Hadley, and became one of the largest landholders in the colony of Connecticut. Her mother was the only child of Elder William and Susannah Goodwin. Elder Goodwin was a fellow-passenger with Elder John White, in the ship Lyon, and was one of the leaders in the settlement of Hadley. Sarah Crow was born at Hartford, March 1, 1647, and was but 14 years and 8 months old at the time of her marriage. She was one of seven daughters, who marred into some of the best families in the valley of the Connecticut. A High authority in such matters has said, "those Crow girls made smart Women." Mrs. Sarah White died at Hatfield, June 26, 1719, age 72. CROW, Sarah (I14563)
 
9473 Sarah's maiden name is unknown. In her will, she refers to her brother George Graves, but she was not his sister. He had a sister Sarah who married a Mr. Deming. George Graves was a deacon, and in those days a deacon was usually referred to as "brother." If he was her brother-in-law, her maiden name would have been Ventris. In her will she refers to Priscilla Brackett (alias Reynolds) and Sarah Brackett (alias Shaw), as cousins, but the word cousins was more loosely used then than it is now. They may have been nieces ad, if such was the case, she might have been a sister of Peter Brackett, the father of these two "cousins," or a sister of one of his wives. There is no record that he had a sister Sarah Brackett and he is not mentioned in Sarah Lord's will. The connection between Sarah Lord and the two "cousins" is not apparent. ?, Sarah (I25911)

9475 Savage says he was perhaps a brother of John and Edmund of Cambridge. HIs first wife's name is not known. He m. (2) Margaret, widow of Arthur Smith; is mentioned as "my cousin", (nephew), in the will of Judith Morris, widow, of Dedham in Essex, England, dated Jan. 25, 1645. (For will, see N.E. Reg., 48, pp. 118, 119.) He is supposed to have come from Braintree, England with the company that settled at Braintree, Mass., then to Newtown (now Cambridge), and constituted the church of Rev. Thomas Hooker. He was of Cambridge 1632; "of the original church formed by Thomas Hooker in 1633.....Steven hart was a deacon." (Porter's Hist. Address at Farmington in 1840, Note g, p. 63.) On May 14 1634, he with John Steele, Hooker and Stone were made Freemen at Cambridge. He went with Hooker's party to Hartford 1636; and was an original proprietor there. His house lot was on the west side of the present Front Street near where Morgan St. crosses it. Andrews says there is a tradition that Hartford was first called from him, "Hart's Ford"; others say it was so named in honor of Mr. Stone's birthplace in England. (Walker's Life of Hooker, p. 97.) About 1640, he with others moved to the present site of Farmington. His house lot on Main St. opposite the meeting house, was four or five times larger than any other; he was a leading citizen of farmington and first Deacon of the church there. He with Mr. Newton, John Cowles, Thomas Thomson and Thomas Judd and two others were the "seven pillars" of the church. He was the first Representative from Farmington and served 30 sessions from May, 1647 to March, 1655 inclusive; was a farmer and land owner and served in the Pequot War.

Deacon Stephen Hart in his will mentions his thee sons, John, Stephen, Thomas; daughters, Sarah Porter and Mary Lee, Mehitable who married John Cole was probably dead. He also mentions grandchildren, Thomas Porter and Dorothy Porter, John Lee and John Hart. His wife is mentioned but not named.
