INDEX

As the story goes, Samuel's father brought the children to New England in 1650 aboard the "Speedwell" and died before completing the trip, leaving his four sons and daughter to fend for themselves upon reaching the new world. Samuel's mother died in England in 1647. That made Samuel an orphan in a strange land at age 17. He received a land grant in New London, Connecticut, 2 DEC 1651, and worked as a farmer. At some point, he acquired most of the land on Plum Island and spent the rest of his days there.
A healthy dose of skepticism has been injected into the traditional theory that Samuel's two wives were sisters. If they weren't sisters, so goes this newer skeptical version, then only the first wife, Agnes, would have been the daughter of William Keeney. Because this hangs on only a series of unlikely (although quite possible) errors, I still hold to the traditional view that Agnes and Mary were sisters.
