    From Alden Silver Book (Vol. 16, part 5, pp. 16-17)

    On 1 May 1761 Judah Hall, yeoman of Kingston, and Giles Hall, yeoman of Kingston; and Joseph Samson yeoman and Mary Samson, his wife, of Duxbury sold an undivided farm of 85 acres in Kingston for £143 to (Samson's nephew) John Maclaughhling Jr. Judah sold 5/8ths, Giles sold 1/8th, Joseph and Mary sold 1/8th, "And is the whole of said farm including one eighth Part more belonging to [unnamed] orphan children." (Plymouth Co. LR 47:151, ack. 22 May 1761, rec. 1 Feb. 1762) It is unclear whether the Samson couple or all of the grantors sold the 1/8 that was owned by the unnamed orphans. Were the orphan's Sarah (Hall) Samson's children or of Thomas Hall?

    Notes:

    She had a heroic role during the War of 1812 by calling help when the British invaded. In July 1812 a salt boat chased by a British cruiser came into the mouth of the creek for protection near the Cole homestead. The cruiser anchored a quarter of a mile from shore sent a boat of 13 men out to seize the salt boat. When they came near the mouth of the creek, they were fired upon by a group of 40 men. During the fight, Mrs. Cole acted as a general patrol. She mounted her horse, and went to Fredonia to rally the men to the mouth of the creek; and after her return, she was actively engaged in carrying food and drink to the little army. This has been called the first naval fight of the War of 1812.
