- Residence: 1639, , , Massachusetts, USA
- Probate: Oct 1663, Salisbury, Essex, Massachusetts, USA
Notes:
One of the original twelve grantees at the town of Salisbury, Mass. Signed the grant in 1638 and received land in the first division in 1639. He and family are mentioned in Hoyt's 'Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury' and also in the published Vital Records(VRs) for Salisbury under Winsley and Winsly. Married twice.. marriages not recorded, bnut death of he and his wives' are recorded in VRs. The VRs also list the birth of three of his children.Samuel was a contemporary of the Winslows in Plymouth. Although his birthplace is unknown, it is extremely unlikely that he could be a son of any of the Winslows in Plymouth and Marshfield, MA, because of his age and because he is not included in the Winslow data published by the Descendants of the Passengers of the Mayflower. Also, it appears that his youngest children were born in the country of his origin. The Winslows of the Mayflower were always referred to only as Winslows--their history is well recorded and there was not any issue from them named Samuel. This family (Winsly/Winsli/Wensley) seems to have been located only in Salisbury. There are not any of them recorded in the nearby towns of Amesbury, Gloucester, Lynn, Ipswich, or Newburyport for the first hundred years of settlement. The name slowly changed until in the early 1700's it became Winslo/Winslow in southern New Hampshire."
