  Notes for SAMUEL FRISBIE:
Edward Frisbie of ..., p. 26: #14 - (2)III-1
"No children.
"Samuel is #6 in the 1926 Gen. He is listed as the fourth child in the Gens. of both 1926 and 1964, born in 1655, but his date, based on the Branford Town Records, has been corrected to 1654, which places him ahead of Benoni.
      "Nothing is known of Samuel's early life except that he served in King Philip's War of 1675-76, when the colonists broke the power of the Indian tribes. For this service, he was eligible for a grant of bounty land at Voluntown, CT, which was voted to the veterans by the Colony in 1701, but he had died before the grant was made.
      "Samuel's wife is shown in the Gens. of 1926 and 1964 as Rebecca Rose, dau. of John Rose, but she was in fact the daughter of Joseph and Phoebe (Ives) Potter, bor in Branford 6 Jun 1663 [sic]. ... The date of the marriage of Samuel and Rebecca appears in the Gens as 1675, but as Rebecca was only 12 at the time, it must have occurred several years later, probably in 1680 or early 1681. They could have been married only a few months when Samuel died.
      "Samuel and Rebecca had no children. He died 16 Nov 1681, his estate being valued at 117 pounds. In 1682 Rebecca married a second husband, one Charles Tyler, and Edward Frisbie in his will left five shillings to his 'daughter-in-law Rebekah Tyler, relict of my son Samuel'.
      "Up to the early 1950s a 'Samuel Frisbie House' stood on East Main St. in Branford, but this house was built in 1792, probably by Samuel Frisbie #526, who was the fifth generation from Edward and a descendant of his son Benoni. Some years later the house was dismantled and trucked away piecemeal to Litchfield CT where it was re-erected."

3. iv.   BENONI FRISBIE, b. 1656, Branford, Connecticut; d. Nov 1700, Branford, Connecticut.
4. v.   ABIGAIL FRISBIE, b. 07 Oct 1657, Branford, Connecticut; d. ca. 1696.
5. vi.   JONATHAN FRISBIE, b. 28 Oct 1659, Branford, Connecticut; d. 07 Apr 1695, Branford, Connecticut.
  vii.   JOSIAH FRISBIE (Source: Nora G. Frisbie, Edward Frisbie of Branford and His Descendants, (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1984. 3 vols.). I:31.), b. 19 Jan 1661/62, Branford, Connecticut (Source: Nora G. Frisbie, Edward Frisbie of Branford and His Descendants, (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1984. 3 vols.). I:31. Branford VR I:173 in Barbour p. 82.); d. 13 Mar 1711/12, Branford, Connecticut (Source: Nora G. Frisbie, Edward Frisbie of Branford and His Descendants, (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1984. 3 vols.). I:31. Branford VR III:35 in Barbour p. 82.).
  Notes for JOSIAH FRISBIE:
Edward Frisbie of ..., p. 31: #17 - (2)VIII-1
      Josiah is entered as #9 in the 1926 Gen. He is said by the 1926 Gen. to have been a justice of the peace and a member of the General Court, but the source of the statement is not given, and it has been impossible to verify it. He appears in the Town records in 1687, when he was given a grant of land.
      Under his father's will Josiah shared with his younger brother Caleb lands to the value of 84 pounds, the items being: "The home lot that was our father's proper lot, with the housing on it, and the meadow adjoining to it", valued at 20 pounds. This was one of the houses on the Green, and was probably the property originally granted to Edward by the Town, the other two lots having been acquired by purchase in the 1660s. Also included in the inheritance was "all of the land and meadow at Mosquito Cove, except two acres of Benoni's, and about five acres in the Beaver Swamp, and four score acres of the third division land in the woods". He shared his father's moveables with the five younger children.
      Josiah never married. He died in Branford on 3 Mar 171112 according to the Gens., but on 13 Mar according to other sources.

7. ix.   HANNAH FRISBIE, b. ca. 1669, Branford, Connecticut; d. 27 Sep 1723, Branford, Connecticut.
