Deacon Samuel Minot

Samuel Minot (1706-1766) was the tenth child of James and Rebecca Wheeler Minot. He married Sarah Prescott. Samuel and Sarah had three children: Samuel, Jonas and Thankful. Sarah Prescott was a granddaughter of early settler George Wheeler. In a second marriage to Sarah's younger sister Dorcas Prescott, Samuel had five more children. Like his father, James, and his uncle Samuel, this younger Samuel Minot was a prominent citizen, serving as a deacon and captain and as a member of the Board of Selectmen from 1756 to 1758 and again in 1762.[11]
