Samuel Macey

GEDCOM Note

Biography ==There is a record of a Samuel Macy/Macey who is listed as an "associate" in the August 1672 and March 1683/4 deeds for the Taunton South Purchase.<ref name="QuarterMillen304-7"/> The "Genealogy of the Macy Family," which focuses on the descendants of Thomas Macy of Salisbury and Nantucket, states that there is also a record of a Samuel Macy as an inhabitant of Taunton in 1668;<ref name="MacyGen9"/> however no copy of that record has been found online. It is possible, if not probable, that Samuel Macey was a son of George Macey, who perhaps never marriedand died before the date of George's will (thus explaining why neither he nor any wife or children of his are mentioned in that will). If Samuel was listed as an inhabitant of Taunton in 1668, that suggests that he was born in or before 1647. That is is 4 years earlier than the estimated date of birth of George's eldest confirmed child (Elizabeth,b. about 1651) and would mean either that George's wife, Susanna, wasprobably born earlier than her currently estimated 1629 date of birthor that Samuel was the son of George by a prior marriage. It is also quite possible that Samuel Macey was not George's son and perhaps not even related.
