Notes: Ebenezer Hawley, son of Samuel, Sen, was born in 1682, and is reported to have lived in Simsbury, CT; but very little has been learned of him besides the names of his children. There is an entry on the Probate Records, at Hartford, CT, that administration was granted on the estate of Ebenezer Hawley of Simsbury, CT, June 7, 1757, and that said Ebenezer "departed this life April 10 (or 15, illegible), 1757." Another entry dated May 3, 1758, says: "A request of the commissioners on the estate" was exhibited, and a list of the movables set out to the widow; and that a son James, a minor, aged 18 years, chose Lieut John Rice, of Farmington, as his guardian. Hence he did not die before 1717, as stated in the table work of this book at No 19. (Hawley, The Hawley Record, 452) |
2. | Samuel Hawley, Sr. was born in 1647/48 in Stratford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA (son of Joseph Hawley, II and Katherine Birdsey); died on 24 Aug 1734 in Stratford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA; was buried in Old Congregational Burying Ground, Stratford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. Other Events:
Notes: Samuel, Sr. came to Stratford with his parents as early as 1650, where he always resided, except that he probably made his home in the town of Derby, Ct. for a short time. He was also one of the original 56 proprietors of the township of Newton, Ct. He was a farmer but dealt largely in real estate, as the town records of Stratford show and in 1699 according to a certain list of proprietors; he was the largest owner of undivided lands. He continued to accumulate land until near the close of his life, yet when he made his will he had previously given it all to his children, who apparently were made quite independent, for one sons, Ephraim received at one time 172 acres, beside other parcels as good land there was in the town and as he had 8 sons and 3 daughters to provide for probably at the same rate he must have given them about 2,000 acres.
