One of the Internet sites that has information about Henry Samson, “Marble’s Ancestors Database,” has the following statement.  (The information about "One of Henry's ancestors" and "Other of his ancestors" has not been verified by the Bissell Family History website). 

 

"Henry Samson was only sixteen when he traveled aboard the Mayflower in 1620 to the New World under the care of his aunt and uncle Edward and Ann ( Cooper ) Tilley, who both died soon after Mayflower arrival. Baptized 15 Jan.1603/4 in Henlow, Bedford, England, Henry was the son of James Samson and Martha Cooper. One of Henry's ancestors through his mother was Wido de Reinbudcourt (born about 1040 A.D.), who was a Doomsday governor under William the Conqueror. Other of his ancestors were barons, lords, sheriffs, and governors. He married Ann Plummer 6 February 1635/6 and had nine children: Elizabeth, who married Robert Sprout; Hannah, who married Josiah Holmes; a daughter who married John Hanmore; John, who was unmarried; Mary, who married John Summers; Dorcas, who married Thomas Bonney; James, who married Hannah; Stephen, who married Elizabeth; and Caleb, who married 1)Mercy Standish and 2) Rebecca. (Bartlett)(Bradford) Sanford. Ann had a sister Mary Plummer, who married John Barnes in Plymouth on 12 September 1633. Henry fought in the Pequot War of 1637 and held the civil positions of constable of Duxbury, property surveyor, and tax collector. Henry died 24 December 1684 in Duxbury, MA at the age of 80/81. President George W. Bush is a descendant of Henry Samson (through his mother Barbara Pierce Bush).

The Hatfield Attack

 

Robert and Editha also had a daughter Sarah (Thomas’ sister) who married Samuel Kellogg.  Sarah and her infant son Joseph were killed by Indians Sept. 19, 1677 in the attack on Hatfield.  Her son Samuel was taken prisoner by the Indians and carried to Canada; he eventually returned to Colchester, CT., bought land from his brother Nathaniel and married Hannah Dickinson.  

 

While men were out working in the fields, the Indians attacked, burning houses, killing 12 people and capturing 21.  It is likely that Samuel was returned from Canada by Benjamin Waite and Stephen Jennings, two Hatfield men whose wives and children were taken captive.  

 

Waite, an accomlished Indian scout, and Jennings got approved as agents to bargain for the captives, built a canoe and went up Lake George and Lake Champlain in the winter to Quebec City, Canada.  They may have been the first English colonists on Lake Champlain.  They were able to secure the release of 17 captives and returned to New England in May 1678.  A quarter century later, Waite was killed in the Deerfield Massacre that was part of Queen Anne’s War.
