From The American Genealogist, vol. 72, pgs. 173-75

"One Samuel Hutchins was born in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts, on 20 August 1682, a son of Joseph and Joanna (Corliss) Hutchins. "Mr Samuel Hutchins of Norwich, formerly of Haverhill in Massachusetts Bay," died at Norwich, New London County, Connecticut, on 15 May 1778, aged 96 years, 9 months and two days, leaving a will dated 23 May 1774 and proved on 2 June 1778, in which he mentions his children Hannah, Samuel, Abigail Fales, and Nathan. No wife is mentioned in the will. The vital records of Haverhill show as children of Samuel Hutchins and Hannah "Marrill": Samuel born on 17 September 1716, Hannah born on 1 May 1717 [sick: 1718?], Nathan born on 1 April 1722, and Abigail born on 1 June 1724. The death of Hannah, wife of Samuel Hutchins, on 9 June 1744 is also recorded."

There is considerable confusion between the lineage of this Samuel Hutchins and Samuel Hutchins, of Kittery & Arundel . Both men have a claimed birth date of Aug. 20 1682, and both were supposedly married to a Hannah Merrill, and lived within 50 miles of each other. Both men also have some of the same claimed descendants. However, these are to be two separate men, with separate sets of siblings. The two Samuels should not be merged.

This Samuel, son of Joseph and Johanna, is the correct one with the birth 20 Aug 1682, and here is the proof:
