"Samuel STOW, who preached to the people in Middletown some years as a candidate for the ministry, I have very lately been informed by a friend, was not born in Concord, Mass., but in Roxbury, and that he did not live in Concord until after he became a candidate. The probability therefore is that his brother, Thomas STOW, if not his nephew, John STOW, were also born in Roxbury, Mass. Samuel STOW died may 8th 1704.

I give unto my son-in-law Israhiah WETMORE 3 1/2 acres of swamp and meadow on the west side of the Crook bridge, that we have made for carting, which sd. 3 1/2 acres are thus bounded: on the east on my son John's; on Mr. COLLINS south; on my Cousin Sergt. Nathaniel STOWE west; and on Cousen John STOW's heirs from a great stump to a bush between Obadiah ALLYN, Senior, and my heirs. If the quantity reach so far, the north is the Lammas highway, and the line between it and my heir Samuel STOW, to whom I do give the residue of swamp northward and meadow adjoining unto my son Ichabod's heir west, and butting upon the Rivulet north and east, the south on his uncle Israhiah. Item. I having given my son Sergt. Israhiah WETMORE and my daughter Rachel part of my houselot which was five acres, the residue being three, I give the value of the sd. land to my daughter Elizabeth BARNS and to my daughter Margaret WETMORE, each of them half of the value he gave for his brother Benjamin's land. I give unto my daughters Elizabeth BARNS and Margaret WETMORE all my propriety in that which is called Round Meadow, my daughter Rachell's husband having by exchange set over his third part which their deed mentioned to his brother Beriah, the husband of my daughter Margaret. Item. Further, having given to my daughter Rachel, as their deed given doth mention, ten acres on the east side of the Great River in that lot of eight or nine and thirty acres more or less, I give to my daughter Elizabeth abovesd., and unto my daughter Margaret, each of them, 10 acres of land in sd. lot of 39 acres, the over-plus of the thirty being given to my daughter Thankful TROWBRIDGE mentioned in the deed given to her husband William TROWBRIDGE. The abutments of these parcels to my four daughters in the whole is thus: On the highway east, on the land of Henry COLES west, and Andrew WARNER south, and Mr. Giles HAMLIN's heirs north, having a highway through it to Wongunk 8 rods wide. My sons Israhiah WETMORE and Maybee BARNES having, with my approbation, sold their wives' parts to Goodman GILL, the other two must take up theirs on the east end. As to a parcel of land in the westermost range of the Great Lott, containing 605 acres, I have given to six children, to each 1/6 part: the first lott to my son John STOW in behalf of his eldest daughter Hope STOW; the 2nd to Beriah WETMORE or his wife (my daughter Margaret); the 3rd to Maybee BARNES for his wife (my daughter Elizabeth); the 4th to William TOWBRIDGE for his wife (my daughter Thankful); the 5th to my son Israhiah WETMORE as a trustee for the orphans of my daughter GILBERT; the 6th to myself, being 100 acres or more, upon an account of 100 acres I let my son Israhiah WETMORE have at the Fall Lott in lieu of his wife's 6th part in this parcel. Item. As to my interest in the division of the Half Mile, and as to the additional 3 miles belonging to it in case of a new plantation, I give to Ebenezer GILBERT, the posthumous son of my deceased daughter Dorothy; to Samuel BARNES, the son of my daughter Elizabeth; to Ichabod WETMORE, son of my daughter Rachel; and to Beriah WETMORE the husband of my daughter Margaret. I give 5 acres to my daughter Hope STOW, the daughter of my son Ichabod STOW. I intreat my friends, Mr. John HAMLIN, Rev. Mr. Noadiah RUSSELL and my kinsman, Rev. Mr. James PIERPOINT of New Haven, to be overseers. And my son John and my son-in-law Israhiah WETMORE to be my principal executors. It is further my will, as to my household stuff and moveables, it is my desire that what my wife did say before her decease (that such or such a daughter should have that as they shall agree) which I wish them to do among themselves that it be fulfilled, which I suppose done in a great part as to dammas, fine linen, cushions of needle work, velvet covers for stool and chairs. And as she wills, I will. And that my daughter Margaret shall have the high bed with the curtains and vallents broidered, with what necessary bedding and bolsters, besides the bed and bedsted, that hath been improved about me. Besides I will Margaret the value of half the long table and carpet, and daughter Rachel the whole, paying the value of half of the whole to Margaret, Mr. PIERPOINT judging of it. The great carved chest I have willed to Margaret, as also the silver spoon which she possesseth, marked "S. S. M." And that marked "S. S. E." to my daughter Elizabeth. The spoon marked "S. S. D." let it be reserved for little Sarah GILBERT when of age. As to what more of silver, brass and iron in the house that was mine, I will it to my daughter Rachel because of tender and careful of me in my old age.Samuel STOW, LS.
Forasmuch as daughter-in-law ROBINSON hath not, according to my proffers, attended to comply with me in the establishing of this my last will to which I have set my hand and seal, I do will that land in controversy to be sold for the just defraught of extraordinary debts and charges before there be any distribution of my estate, that all due debts be paid. If she doth comply, then what may be wanting out of my responsible estate may answer it. April 20th, 1704.

The STONE Family
Samuel STONE arrived in Boston on the "Griffen" in 1633 with the Rev. Thomas Hooker, and together with other "men of means and high standing who were afterward prominent in colonial affairs" founded Hartford, CT (named after Samuel's birthplace in England).
Samuel, a graduate of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, England where he received his B.A. in 1624 and his M.A. in 1627, was the son of John STONE (1573-1640) of Great Bromley, England and Sarah ROGERS (1577-?) of Hertford, who was the daughter of the Rev. Richard (1551-1618) and Sarah (1533-?) ROGERS of Chelmsford and Wethersfield, England respectively. John Stone's ancestors can be traced back to William Atte STONE (1365-1431) of Ardleigh, England.
Samuel was made the 1st Teacher of the church at Cambridge, MA until he departed with Hooker's party for Hartford, CT in 1636. His name, along with Thomas Hooker and John Haynes (who became Governor of MA and later CT) are listed as Residents of New Towne (later called Cambridge) from 1632-35.He was also a chaplain in the Pequot War of 1637 and 2nd Pastor of the 1st Church of Hartford, CT. He is buried along side Thomas Hooker and John Haynes in Center Cemetery, Hartford, CT and is on a list of names of the Founders of Hartford, on an obelisk in the Center Church Burial Ground, erected 1837
