       Samuel apparently follows closely in the footsteps of his father, for in 1698/99 and 1700 his name appears in the church records at Essex, Mass., then in Chebacco Parish, and later, after his father went to Stoningham, Conn., he was admitted an inhabitant of Norwich, Conn., in 1716.
       On 18 Apr 1719, and again on 28 Apr 1719 he bought land there, situated on the west side of the Quinnebaug River, and made it the homestead.
       In a quitclaim deed after his death, his children Joel, Solomon, Nathaniel and Mary Parish relinquished this same tract to "our brother Samuel Parish," 9 June 1735, the others, Nehemiah and Rebecca not being of age at that time.
       He died in May 1735.

       Samuel and his brother-in-law David Tracy were contributors in 1758 to the building of the Amenia church of Christ in the Nine Partners, Dutchess Co., NY from Foley's "Early NY Settlers," p. 302.
