Genealogy of Hadley Families" lists only one Samuel Church. "Captain Samuel Church of Churchville" lists two. The first Samuel, b. 3 Mar 1632 died young according to the second reference above. The first reference cites that the Samuel Church they reference became a freeman in 1657. As becomeing a freeman would mean coming of maturity (age 21) then this Samuel would have been born in 1636, thebirth year cited in the second reference. Accordingly, we have added a secondSamuel to this family.
