Sampson was born on Nov. 19, 1745, in Tewksbury,
Massachusetts, the son of Rev. Sampson Spaulding, Tewksbury’s first pastor (3),
and Mehetable Hunt. In 1764 he married Experience Merrill, and
they produced nine children in Tewksbury. A number of these children settled in Chenango
County, New York, including my 4th great grandfather JOSEPH
SPAULDING. I had much of the vital information prior to reviewing this book, but this book helped confirm my research. It is also one more source I can add to my tree.
There is a mystery, however.
Sampson eventually moved from Chenango County to the State of Ohio. Despite numerous searches by me and my cousin
RICHARD ROTH (mentioned in my post a few days ago), we have not been able to
find the exact area where he is buried.
If anyone out there has a clue, I would love to get your input!
