• Notes

  No date of birth of Samuel Dam has been found, but as in 1752 his father's second wife, then Mrs Elizabeth Goodwin, was called his mother-in-law (step-mother), he was a child by his father's first wife, Easter Twombly. On 26 Dec 1750 guardianship papers were granted to Thomas Westbrook Waldron, as guardian of Samuel Dam, Sarah Dam, and Pomfret Dam, minor children of Samuel Dam of Dover, Deceased. (Probate Records of the Province of New Hampshire, vol 4, p 92.) Administration of the estate of Samuel Dam of Dover, yeoman, was granted to Thomas Westbrook Waldron of Dover 27 Mar 1751; and the inventory, dated 18 Apr 1751 and signed by Thomas Wallingford of Somersworth and Joseph Hans/o Dover, gentlemen, showed a value of £16485 15s. 0d. A warrant issued 26 Dec 1751 by Hon Andrew Wiggin appointed five men to divide the estate. Their report dated 20 May 1752 and allowed 27 May 1752 stated that they appointed a committee to divide the real estate among the children "and also that Real Estate which Came to Said Children in the Right of their mother Mary Dam Deceased in ye Real Estate of her Late father Thomas Downs Deceased and also all the Right of Reversion which is now in the possession of Mrs Elizabeth Goodwin Mother in Law of Said Dec'd ... we Set off to Samuel Dam the Eldest s/o said Deceased for his two Shares in Said Real Estate ... to Pomfret Dam the other s/o Said Deceased for his one Share ... to Sarah Howard the Daughter of Said Deceased ....(op. cit., pp 93-94)«s1»
