Biography
3-11 Samuel Shorey b Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts, was a soldier at Saco, Maine in 1696, at Piscataqua, lived in Eliot in 1702 and Berwick in 1704. The story of the beginning of Samuel Shorey's farm is as follows: On Dec. 16, 1652, the town of Kittery granted Major Charles Frost one hundred acres of land at Thompson's Point. This land was next above the homestead of William Furbush, (1664) in the upper part of district No. 1. Frost sold fifty acres of this land to William and Richard Oliver, June 27, 1664, and William built a house upon it. Twenty-five acres of this land, Richard Oliver, of the Isle of Shoals, sold to Thomas Rhodes of Kitteiy. Rhodes bought, in 1680, thirty acres above, of James Chadbourne, whose wife was Elisabeth Heard, a daughter of James and granddaughter of John Heard, Sr., who willed her the land. John's (Heard) lot was next above the Frost grant by the Berwick line, where John Ross built a house, about 1679, in which he was to live his natural life. John Heard lived at Sturgeon Creek where he had a garrison. He made a will and died about 1676. He had a grandson, John Heard, who lived on the same fann, where he died in 1751, an old man. His father was also John Heard. Thomas Rhodes sold the above filly-five acres to Joseph Smith of Dover, Apr. 24, 1707, and it was then said to be at Thompson's Point. With this purchase Smith got four cows, two oxen, a house, barn, orchard, plows, carts, sled, chains, cidermill, and movable things belonging to the premise. Smith assigned the above to Samuel Shorey, and also gave him a deed of all, if he could find them, for thirty pounds, May 26, 1712. James Chadbourne, Jr. son of James and Elizabeth, gave a quit claim deed of the land and buildings with the appurtenances, & c., to Shorey, June 15, 1714, and said that it was where Samuel Shorey then lived. That was the beginning of the Shorey farm. The land is now owned by Charles Rain (written ?).
Samuel witnessed a deed at Kittery in 1702, and was granted fifty acres of land by the town on May 10, 1703, which he sold to Charles Frost, Jr., on April 5, 1707, and five years after bought his farm. On Nov. 6, 1719, he bought twenty acres of Benjamin Foster, which were granted him on May 24, 1699. Aug. 18, 1720, Shorey sold sixty acres of land in Berwick and fifteen and a quarter acres of a grant of twenty by the town of Kitteiy to Thomas Tompson May 16, 1694, to Joseph Hodsdon and wife Margaret. Hodsdon sold the land to Joshua Weymouth of Berwick, Oct 24, 1720. Soon after Samuel Shorey moved to his farm he must have built a new house. The house where Jacob Shorey lived in 1798, was built the next year after the Queen Anne war or about 1714.
