Samuel (2), the third son, born about 1639, died 12 March 1713. He married Hannah - and his children were Samuel, William, Joseph, and "doubtless others". He was a sergeant of militia and had a grant of land at Meadow Plain, now Simsbury, and from this time the family name was associated with the town. Here for six generations they lived and died.

Born in Stratford, in 1658 Winthrop called Samuel seventeen or eighteen years of age, establishing a birth year of about 1640. Samuel married Hannah Rice about 1665 and was residing in Windsor by 1666. Hannah was born in Concord Massachusetts, a town Samuel's father had ties with throughout his life.
Samuel was very active in town and colony affairs and was probably fairly well educated. He served many terms as Simsbury's representative to the General Court and was a sergeant of the train band, probably serving in King Philip's War. He was often called upon to administer and inventory estates.
Samuel died in 1712/13 at about the age of 73. His wife Hannah was alive in 1708 but had died by the time of her husbands death four years later. They had lived a long and fruitful life and had been married in excess of forty years and seen their three sons marry and start their families. Their death spared them the events of the following year.
The September after Samuel's death his son Samuel died at the age of 47. Their daughter Margaret died the following year on December 21, 1714, two weeks following the birth of her illegitimate son Benoni. Administration of Margaret's estate was granted to her brother Joseph who claimed in his accounting that Margaret left "no lawful issue". In essence, he was saying that the estate should go to her surviving siblings. The court decided that the estate should go to the illegitimate child. The father remained unnamed but may have been a Viets.
