Samuel Orvis

SAMUEL ORVIS ~

Julius Gay, in his "Farmington 200 Years Ago," tells us that Samuel was a shoemaker and had his place on the East side of Main Street, a little North of the residence of Gustave Cowles.

Some contend that Samuel married (1) Abagail, born 1643, daughter of Richard Bronson by his first wife (that is his step-sister), and (2) Deborah (-?-), but I am inclined to doubt this because of the conflicting testimonies of the various authorities, most of who copied from Hinman, and I believe they are all mixed on the Bronson family. Stiles and the New England General Regiser and Savage all say that Jonathan Winchell married Abigail Brunson, who was perhaps daughter of Richard Brunson and each records the fact that this couple had son, Jonathan. It is possible that there was more than one Abigail Brunson and also that there was more than one Samuel Orvis, but I have no evidence of this. Waitstill Orvis, Author of The Orvis Family in America
