17. Samuel^ [3] (SamueP), was admitted to full communion with the Cong. Church in BradLford, as " Samuel son of Samuel,"
PART I. ? SECOND GENERATION. 9
"Mar. 3, 1728." He m., 1st, Mrs. Anna Sessions, Feb. 18, 1730.
Her crumbling gi'avestones were accidentally found, 1871, in the old Bradford cemetery, near the grave of Samuel [1]. Inscriptions
with difficulty deciphered as follows : Head, " Here lies buried the body of Anna, the wife of Mr. Samuel Runels (Jun.), " who died 20th of September, 1746, and in the 56th year of her age." Foot, "Anna Runels." This makes the year of her birth 1690, while the date of her death agrees with the Bradford Recs. He m., 2nd, Hannah Emerson, of Haverhill, Nov. 19, 1747. (Haver. Recs.)
He is called a "House Wright," "June 3, 1738," when Maxwell Hazeltine conveyed to him, for £36, " a parcel of marsh or meadow, scituate lying and being in Rowly, on Plumb Island" "May 1, 1747," he bought of Eben Sherwin "for £650, old tenor, two
pieces of land in Boxford, 51 acres."
From these and seven othex deeds, we infer that within twenty years after his first marriage he added to the small property given him by his father (and probably, by his own industry at his trade) some forty acres of land in Bradford and at least eighty acres in Boxford ; also that his estate at first was near that of his father's and the line of the two towns, at Little Pond, where he lived, perhaps at a home furnished by his first wife as the widow Sessions, till between 1747
and 1749. He then became, probably at his second marriage, a resident of Boxford, on the other side of Little Pond, at the homestead still occupied by some of his posterity.
Two deeds are also found of "Apr. 2 " and " May 20, 1777," the latter giving him possession of a small "tract of marsh" in Newbury ; and the following deed will show to his Concord (N. H.)
descendants the origin of their Horse Hill estate : " July 26, 1777 ;
John and Benja. Jones of Beverly to Samuel Runnels of Boxford, Gentleman for £48 a certain lott of land situated in Concord, in the county of Hillsboro' and State of N. Hamp., being a
certain 80 acre lot in said township, lying at or near Horse Hill, so called." Tradition says that he was a lieut. in the old French war of 1756, with his son as a drum-major. He d. Apr. 12, 1783,
aged 76 ; and " P'^eb. 3, 1784, administration of the Estate of Samuel Runnels, late of Boxford, gent., deceased, was granted to Samuel R, his son." His Inventory was given in, "Apr. 6, 1784."
Property amounted to £699 4.-^., including farm, personal property, and one quarter part of a " gondola." rated at £2 58., defined by Coffin
(Histoiy of Newbury) as a " hay boat," and probably used by Samuel [3] on Merrimack River for visiting his Plum Island and Newbury purchases.
Return of commissioners, appointed for division of his estate, was made " May 8 " ; and " assignment made by Judge of Probate to Samuel Runnels and Anna Page, his only children July 6, 1789." Children: ?
18. Samuel [93], b. Dec. 19, 1730, in Bradford (1st wife) ; bap. as " Son of Samuel Jun., Dec. 20, 1730 "
19. Anna [102], b. 1748-9, probably in Boxford; but bap. at the Bradford Church, "Feb. 25, 1749," as a "daughter of Samuel and Hannah B." [nee Emerson]
