Biography

From http://www.anamericanfamilyhistory.com/Lothrop%20Family/LothropSamu...

Samuel Lothrop was born in England between 1620 and 1624 in England. His parents were John Lothrop and Hannah Howse.

He came to America on the ship Griffin with his family in 1634.

The Griffin left England August 1, 1634 and arrived in Boston on September 18, 1634 with about one hundred passengers and cattle for the plantations. The passengers included the Bartholomew, Cotton, Hammond, Haines, Heaton, Hutchinson (including dissident Anne), Lothrop, Lynde, Magatt, and Symmes families.
He married Elizabeth Scudder on November 28, 1644. She has sometimes been erroneously identified as daughter of Thomas Scudder of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. The Salem family was from Darenth, Kent, England. She was the sister of John Scudder of Barnstable. She was dismissed from the church in Boston, on November 10, 1644, to the church in Barnstable, where she was married later in the month by the bridegroom's father, Reverend John Lothrop.

They had nine children including:

• John Lothrop (1645, married Ruth Royce),
• Mary Lothrop Moss,
• Elizabeth Lothrop Royce (married Isaac Royce),
• Samuel Lothrop (1652),
• Israel Lothrop (1659),
• Joseph Lothrop (1661), and
• Ann Lothrop Hough (married William Hough).

In 1648 the family moved to New London, Connecticut, then called Pequot or Nameag. He held various positions of honor and responsibility, including judge. He farmed and was a carpenter. He built the second church in New London.

His second wife was Abigail Doane who was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts on January 29, 1631/32. Her father was John Doane.

In 1668 they moved to Norwich, where Samuel was a Constable and Townsman.

Samuel died in February 9, 1700 in Norwich, Connecticut. Abigail died in 1734. when she was 102.

Origin notes

From Elizabeth Scudder, wife of Samuel Lathrop: Early Life of Elizabeth (Scudder) Lathrop, Ancestress of the Scudder (E) Line. by Margery Boyden, Scudder Association Foundation Historian. < The Scudder Association Foundation >

The truth that Elizabeth2 Scudder (E) was born in 1625 at Strood—across the Medway River from Rochester, Kent—has been in print for over thirty years to correct at least one hundred years of errors in some inaccurate histories about where the Scudders were from in England.[2] Therefore, Elizabeth2 (E)’s biography begins by highlighting her accurate birthplace, her correct parents and grandparents and where they originated. Correct data for Elizabeth2 (E)’s origins was first published in Scudder Searches, 1989–1993[3] and in Jane Fletcher Fiske’s important article, “A New England Kinship Network,” in The American Genealogist (TAG) in 1997.[4]

The Lothrops too have had misinformation circulating. In 1906, a fraudulent genealogist produced a fabricated Lothrop family lineage[5] that polluted more accurate information that was available previously in print from 1884 in E. B. Huntington’s A Genealogical Memoir of the Lo-Lathrop Family in this country….[6] Several unsuspecting Lothrop histories have repeated these errors about Samuel2 Lathrop and his family, sometimes giving him inaccurate parents and grandparents. In 1995, correct data for Rev. John1 Lothrop’s family was published in The Great Migration, as was an update by Clifford L. Stott about the correct name of Rev. Lothrop’s mother printed in (TAG) the same year.[7] Accurate data is reflected in this diagram:

Elizabeth2 Scudder (E) was christened at Strood on 31 July 1625, recorded as daughter of John Scudder.

Elizabeth2 Scudder (E)’s christening record

Family

Few women can claim such a large or prominent posterity. In light of significant public service by her offspring to the United States of America, it is fitting that Elizabeth2 Scudder’s courtship with Samuel2 Lothrop began at Boston because Boston is called a Cradle of Liberty.[6] Some branches of the family spell Samuel2’s name Lothrop, like his father Rev. John1 Lothrop, and others spell it Lathrop, but either way the name has become synonymous with leadership.

Next in line is Samuel. He ended up in Norwich Connecticut where he is considered one of the founding fathers. He was a builder and later a farmer and for a while a "constable", "townsman" and judge. Here is what I could find about Judge Samuel Lathrop.

From Huntington Page 38:

7. Samuel, born in England, and came with his father to Scituate in 1634, thence to Barnstable, where he Married, Nov. 28, 1644, Elizabeth Scudder, who had been dismissed from the church in Boston Nov. 10, 1644, to remove her church relation to that in Barnstable. She is reported in Savage as a sister to that John Scudder who was in Barnstable in 1640. He had made the acquaintance of Miss Scudder in Boston, where he commenced his business life as a house builder, afterwards combining with his extensive farming operations. Their marriage was recorded by his father on the Barnstable Church Register as follows: "My sonn Samuel & Elizabeth Scudder Marryed at my house by Mr. Freeman Nov. 28, 1644."

They settled in Barnstable where his house stood next to that of John Scudder.

He is reported, in 1643, as one of five Lothrops at Barnstable liable to bear arms. In 1648 he removed to New London, Connecticut, then called Pequot. We now find Mr. Lothrop mentioned in two letters from Governor Winthrop to his son at Pequot. In one of these bearing date Aug. 14, 1648, on the subject of obtaining a minister for the settlement, he writes, "Your neighbour Lothrop came not at me (as I expected) to advise about it," etc.

His house lot in the new plantation was the third in order from that of John Winthrop Jr. Esq. and his name was one of the first eighteen to whom were assigned lands on the east side of the "great river" of Pequot, and for these the lots were drawn on the 17th and 31st of January, 1648-9.

Huntington lists their children on pages 46 - 48:

Origins

John Scudder was a brother of Thomas Scudder of Salem and an uncle of Thomas Scudder of L.I.

Editing Notes

Elizabeth was born May 12, 1622 in Suffolk, England. Her parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Scudder. NOT THIS ELIZABETH - CORRECTED IN PROFILE The birth date given above for Elizabeth is likely a confusion with the birth date of another Elizabeth Scudder - Elizabeth Scudder (May 12, 1622 - September 1, 1682) m.

So let's go with the abt 1625 date of the following website.
