Samuel married in Cloucester, Massachusetts, 31 October 1708, Mary (Harden [Harding]) Villars (Gloucester VR 2:526). She was the widow of John Villars by whom she had one son 1701: George. She was living in Gloucester, 1 July 1726 when she swore to the inventory of her deceased brother's estate. Samuel Stockbridge was a clothier of Cloucester in 1715 when, as eldest son, he renounced administration of his father's estate. Shortly after that time he moved his family to Georgetown, on Arrowsic Island, Maine (then still part of Massachusetts). On 20 February 1719/20, Samuel Stockbridge of Georgetown sold to John Minot of Boston, merchant, for £54 13s., his house and lot of ninety acres "which is to be laid out to me on sd [Arrowsic] Island" and "my Boat Burthen about four Tuns." A mortgage was to be paid by 24 December 1720 and there was a release in part, for £17 09s., dated 24 March 1721/2. Minot petitioned on 10 January 1729.30 that "whereas Samuel Stockbridge of Arrowsick . . ., Fisherman . . . is long since Dead & he nor his Heir &c never Redeemd the sd Lands so that the Disposition thereof belongs to me," for £10 he sold the property to William Shute of Boston, carver (York deeds 11:209; 18:18,19). Samuel Stockbridge served as a sentinel in Captain Johnson Harmon's company, which was part of the campaign of Colonel Thomas Westbrook, under orders from the Massachusetts government to travel from the Kennebec to the Penobscot River and prosecute Indians "for their many breaches of covenant." Samuel enlisted 29 May and served to 20 November 1722, being paid £12 09 05 (MA archives 91:52 [which incorrectly shows he served from 28 Feb). Samuel must have served a bit longer, for on 22 February 1722/3, he and three other soldiers were leaving Arrowsic when one of them, George Cary, fired at a tree and the glancing bullet killed Samuel. Children 1709-20: Samuel, Benjamin, Mary, John, Benjamin, Charles, Anna. [ref 87:3-526]
