Notes from Ruth:
I just found that the Samuel b. in 1713 was born in Wrentham (from Wrentham
town records)
Samuel, s. of Ralph and Mary, June 10, 1713.
There is a Ralph , s. of John and Abigail, Dec. 9, 1681 entry in the
Wrentham Births.
Maybe it's John Day that was the immigrant then?
I don't see any John Day born earlier in the Wrentham records.

Samuel Day's house still stands near Wrentham and may someday be open to the public
The following description of the house appeared with a photo in:

listed with the Massachusetts Historical Commission"
"This is a 2-story, 5-bay house on a granite foundation with a 2-story ell in the rear and a small wing.
Georgian details include the projecting window cornices and sills. The unusal front entry consists of Tuscan
pilasters beneath a classical pediment applied to a base of rusticated quoins. Outbuildings include a
large barn. One of the earliest owners was Judge Samuel Day who served on the first bench of the
Norfolk County Court 1806, as a state representative 1805-8, and as a state senator 1809-11.
He also served in the Revolutionary War under Capt. Lemuel Kollock of Wrentham."
