Comments

From Samuel Truesdell, Sr.

Both Savage and Jackson erroneously ascribe three wives to Samuel. In addition to Mary Jackson they add a second wife Elizabeth Hammond and a third, Mary _______(?). [A different] Elizabeth Hammond married Samuel Truesdell, Jr. in 1700. Mary, the third wife, was added, undoubtedly, so as to agree with the name of the widow in the settlement of Samuel's estate.

This seems erroneous

"(H) Samuel, nephew of Deacon Richard Truesdell, was born 1644-45, perhaps in England. He, his sister Rebecca, and brothers Thomas and Richard Truesdell, seem to have been in the care of their uncle and it is not known that their father ever came to this country. He received fifty pounds in his uncle's will. He settled in Cambridge and was admitted a freeman in 1685. His home was on the south side of Charles river in what was then Cambridge \illage, now Newton, and he was one of the active supporters of the movement for separation from Cambridge. He was one of the signers of the secession from the first church of Boston in 1678 and became a member of the third church. He married (first ) Mary Jackson, daughter of John Jackson Sr., (second) Elizabeth ( Hammond) Woodward, daughter of Thomas Hammond Sr. and widow of George Woodward, of \\'atertown... "[4]
