  • Notes 
    • Samuel Beebe was the richest man in New London after Governor Winthrop. He opposed Infant Baptism, 1661-8.   Samuel became a prominent Landholder, and lived on Plum Island, of which he owned a third part.   He was called "King Beebe" and "Lord of the Isles".   A rock in the Sea nearby was called "Beebe's Throne".   In 1713 and 1714, being of Southold, he sold land in Nawayunk (Noank), to James Morgan, Nehemiah Smith and Edward Yeomen, all of Groton.   A deed is on record at Lyme, 7th book, page 384, dated July 20th,1738, in which he distributed to his children and grandchildren, a tract of land about 8 miles square, which he purchased of "awonneco" and with the consent of Captain Mason.   His will was dated 1741, and proved probably in New York, in 1742.   It is now in the Surrogates office.   He was buried in Plum Island.

      On July 20, 1738, Samuel Beebe was of Southold, County of Suffolk, Colony of New York, on Island of Nassau, Yeomen.   The land deeded to him, 8 miles square, was about 12 miles up and near the Connecticut River. Granted by Captain Sauny, of Nikantick, to Major John Talcut, Colonel John Allen, Major Edward Palmer, Mr. Henry Wallent, Mr. Matthew Griswold and Mr. Cany Latham, which grant was confirmed by the General Court at Hartford.

      Volume 6, Folio 38 of private Controversies in State Library, Hartford, states:   Elizabeth, wife of Samuel Beebe, of Long Island and Southold, was daughter of James Rogers, of New London, whose will of November 11, 1683, names his children.

      Volume 1, Folio 114, of the records of the Prerogation Court at New London, states: April 9, 1712, Samuel Beebe, of Southold, Long Island, presented the will of his father Samuel Beebe, dated November, 1702. John Daniels and Thomas Crocker, son-in-law of deceased, with James Rogers.   Said Beebe had executed a later will, which later will Samuel Beebe said his mother had burnt at his Fathers request.   Will was not admitted to probate, but administration was granted to Mrs. Mary Beebe and Samuel Beebe, his son.

      Volume 1, Folio 123, states: September 9, 1712, distribution of the estate of Samuel Beebe, of Southold, made to his widow, to his eldest son, Samuel, who received a double share and to his other children.   He transferred land in Southold, Long Island in 1707, and exchanged land with Samuel King.   He owned land adjoining John Tuthill.   From the collection of Violett Matthews of Ontario, Canada.
