• Notes

  BIRTH: 1. Thomas and Margaret (Wright) Bancroft had two sons named Samuel. The first son was born 25 Jan 1667[/8] and died five days later. The death record image is attached to this individual and clearly identifies him as the son of Thomas and Margaret. This death record was apparently missed by most earlier researchers and the birth date was erroneously accorded to the later Samuel, whose birth record does not exist but certainly occurred after the death of the first Samuel. Since there was a child named Ruth born to the same parents in 1670, then the most likely date is "about 1672." The second Samuel is tightly associated with the other members of this family through probates and deeds and would not be a child of another set of parents.
