Samuel **** Kimball Some potential Samuel's who have (for now) been eliminated as candidates for THIS Samuel:
Samuel b. 1792, Holderness, still living and not fitting this one as of 1850 Census
Samuel b. 1795, Plainfield, physician, living in Michigan by 1850 with two young daughters (not likely, unless an 'abandoner')
Samuel b. 1776, residing in Bureau Co, IL with wife Jane and son Janus (b. 1820) - Not possible
Samuel b. 1790 - Henniker - still in Henniker in 1850
Samuel b. 1796 - Concord - still in Concord in 1850
Samuel b. 1785 - Sandwich in 1850, living with wife, Hannah
NOTE: 1795 Samuel MAY be son of Joseph Kimball and Eunice Gallup.
Only CONFIRMED child of Samuel and Maria is Benjamin Franklin Kimball, based on the mention of their names on his death certificate. By association, further proof that Wyman P. and Samuel M. were brothers of B.F. Kimball. However, the association further of Daniel, Hovey (or Daniel Hovey) and Sarah and/or Hannah are made purely from their association in 1837 Shaker records from Enfield.
In Shaker records of Enfield, for the year 1837, 'admitted to the church at Enfield', are listed the following:
Franklin Kimball, Hovey Kimball, then, later, Wyman, Sarah Ann, and Hannah Kimball. Originally found these in NEHGS Register Vol. 62, 1908, p. 122. There were no other mentions of Kimballs amongst others born, admitted, or died in Enfield Colony. The 'article' was submitted by Franklin P. Rice, Esq, Worcester, MA, based on his visit to the Colony when he was given permission to copy some information from Shaker records. His visit to the Colony took place in 1895.
Other means to connect Wyman, 'Franklin' and Samuel M. - Franklin and Wyman mentioned in letters to one another, Wyman listed as uncle in 1900 Census for Ira Kimball (s/o Samuel).
Don't believe Samuel was born in Plainfield area. However, found one listed in LDS IGI b. 24-Jul-1795, Plainfield, Sullivan County, New Hampshire. The INTERESTING fact is, NONE of those records indicated parents for this Samuel born in Plainfield. Of additional interest... another Samuel Kimball had been married in April of 1795 at Plainfield:
A Samuel Farnham Kimball, b. @1770 at Hopkinton, NH, d. 9-Jul-1825, Mendon, Monroe, NY, married in PLAINFIELD, SULLIVAN, NH, on 19-Apr-1795 - no wife's name listed. (Pedigree Resource File - Compact Disc #32)
Later digging indicates he married an Anna Spaulding at Plainfield. COULD Samuel Farnham and Anna been parents of Samuel who married Maria? IF so, could Samuel who married Maria have been born 24-Jul-1795, just shortly after Samuel and Anna were married? This would also explain the lack of data on this family group. Given that Samuel Farnham then left the area for New York, did he leave Anna behind to care for this child? Indications are that Anna was from Plainfield, Conecticut, which, given more info on Eliphalet, below, seems to oddly fit. When did Plainfield, NH get named? Was it late in 1700s? If so, perhaps this Kimball line was responsible for it being named after same named town in CT????
There is another Samuel listed, b. 14-Jul-1795, no place, no wife, listed in AWT as son of Col. Joseph Kimball and Eunice Gallup. She was born in Stonington, CT. According to that source Cathy Freeman (cfrmn - cox.net), here are THAT Samuel's siblings:
Joseph KIMBALL b: 24 May 1782 Hmm.. one born 09-May-1782, Plainfield, NH! d. 10-Jul-1810. While another source on IGI shows that one b. 24-May was s/o Joseph and Eunice and died in 1810, as well!
Sophia KIMBALL b: 2 Aug 1784
Oliver KIMBALL b: 5 Oct 1786
Lucy KIMBALL b: 5 Sep 1788
William KIMBALL b: 18 Oct 1790
Harry KIMBALL b: 18 Apr 1793
Of course, there was also the Robert Kimball, b. 16-Dec-1786, who was listed as son of Joseph Kimball of PRESTON, CT (also a 'Colonel' by some reports). He's NOT listed in the above family, and would have been born too close to Oliver to 'qualify' as such, if the above information IS correct.
Based on the confusion of all this Stonington/Preston, CT and Plainfield CT/NH Kimball lines surrounding Joseph, I wonder if there weren't two Joseph Kimballs in the Amer Rev War who had both CT and NH connections? Some of the children were children of one, some of the other, but because their paths were so similar, all or at least most have been forever 'assigned' to one set of parents. That said, it makes for one helluva family group CLEANING to be done! I'd be interested to know what the latest 'Kimball Book' has to say about this family!
Nearly all above children appear in various sources as born Stonington, Connecticut, or Plainfield, New Hampshire.
It is my SERIOUS belief and offered consideration, that the Samuel b. 1795, s/o Col. Joseph Kimball and Eunice Gallup, IS the Samuel who married Maria.... looking for ANYTHING that MIGHT prove otherwise!
Indeed, 1830 US Census for Wilmot shows Samuel listed next to Micah in Wilmot, though this does not indicate blood relation. It is, after all, an alphabetical list.
In that Census, Micah only lists on male child under 5, so only Charles is listed. This is helpful as additional proof that Wyman was NOT son of Micah/Michael, and that Samuel WAS living in Wilmot in 1830, where Wyman had been born 2 years prior. that said, it is likely SAFE to assume this listed Samuel in Wilmot is the one who married Maria.
Samuel listed as 3,2,1,1,0,0,0,1, 0,2,1,0,0,0,1
3 males under 5
2 males 5-10
1 male 10-15
1 male 15-10
1 male 50-60 (this would indicate Samuel was born 1780-1790, not as late as 1795!!!
2 females 5-10
1 female 10-15
1 female 40-50 (indicating Maria was surely younger than Samuel, but if she was 49 and he was 50, same numbers would be listed, so anywhere from 1 to 20 years difference in their ages.
Again, not a single place of birth on the above!
Samuel Kimballs listed in 1820 US Census for NH/VT:
Samuel A. - Concord, Rockingham Co.: 01011001111
Samuel - Hennicker, Hillsborough Co.: 000010001001 (may be three 0's in last set)
.....Listed with the above Samuel are Ebenezer and Stephen Kimball.
Samuel - Wilmot, Hillsborough Co.: 5111101201001 * * * * * * * * * * * * *
.....Listed on same page is a Michael Kimball
Samuel - Londonderry, Rockingham Co.: 30001000010...
and in Vermont:
Samuel - Morristown, Orleans Co.: 0000100000001
with 'Samuel - Wilmot, Hillsborough Co.: 5111101201001' being the most likely candidate, given birthplace of Wyman. If, indeed, we finally PROVE that Wyman was a brother of Samuel M., which I believe, based on Census data, to be the case.
In 1830 US Census for Wilmot, Merrimack, NH, we find a Samuel Kimball listed (with all the crazy numbers), below him is listed Micah Kimball. This may help to figure out which Samuel this is, as my guess is that Micah is a brother, or otherwise very close relation. 1840 Census for Wilmot seems to show Micah, but no longer Samuel. This COULD be a good thing, since chances are Samuel passed before 1840 (reason why children went to Shaker Colony)
Based on Maine locations, should probably explore those in 1820, as well.
Though there exists a real temptation to assign fatherhood of Samuel, Benjamin and Wyman to Asa Kimball (who married Merriam Meacham), Muriel Cole and Jean Kimball have offered evidence as in the following from the Roberts book, listing Samuel M. and Benjamin Franklin and Wyman P.'s births and Benjamin Franklin's death notice from the state of Vermont stating his parents were Samuel and Maria Kimball. Though Merriam is close to Maria, Asa would have to have been Asa Samuel or Samuel Asa Kimball.
Therefore, unless more conclusive evidence eventually points elsewhere, these are the names that will occupy the parents space for Samuel M. Kimball and his siblings.
Based on Wyman P.'s birth year of 1828, in North Wilmot, we might want to look into the Samuel Kimball of Wilmot, Merrimack, NH in 1830 US Census:
Below this Samuel is listed a Micah Kimball, who may prove to be a close relative?
Samuel is listed with 3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1
Micah - 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 1
Samuel - 3 males under 5, 2 males 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 50-60 (head?), 2 females 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 40-50 (Maria?)
IF this is correct family, then Samuel M. would be the one listed as 15-20, unless, of course, he had an older brother, then he'd be the one 10-15. Wyman and Benjamin would be covered in the first 3 males. Sarah was supposedly born in 1830, so might not be listed. However, this still leaves a total of 10 children, of which only four are known... not an impossibility, but not a likelihood, either, at this point.
Of another interesting note is that the Samuel of Wilmot does not show in that town in 1840.... Deceased? Or... possibly moved?
ANSWER? Moved to Illinois, married to Betsy. Not the right Samuel!
Should Eliphalet Kimball ever come into play, the one earlier raised as possible father of Samuel M. could NOT have been his grandfather. He married in Cornish, NH, as Eliphalet Jr., to Selinda Ripley, on the 4th of April, 1790. As a 'Junior' I suppose he could have been a BROTHER to the father of Samuel M... that is, though, a longshot at the very least.
Eliphalet SR was born @1739 and was of Plainfield, CONNECTICUT. he married Elizabeth Woodward, and had Eliphalet Jr in Plainfield, CT, on 10-Feb-1765, he married 1790 and died 1842 in Cornish, NH, and had no sons names Samuel. Still not sure if Eliphalet SR and Elizabeth Woodward might have had a son named Samuel.
In IGI, the marriage for Eliphalet Sr and Elizabeth is also recorded as taking place in Cornish, NH. (guess that all depends on source).
After a THOROUGH scrubbing of 1830 Census. IF Samuel was still living in 1830, he was NOT enumerated with family. Only three possible family groups emerged. Wilmot, Dunbarton, and Concord. Wilmot family is one of Samuel b. 1781 found in Andover records. Dunbarton one is of Sameul and Hannah, found also in 1850 for same town. And, the Concord one is of Samuel and Sophia, ran a large farm outside Concord and had many lodgers.
Suffice it to say, I TRULY believe the Andover connection/Wilmot connection is where the Samuel Kimball who married 'Maria' mystery may finally play out. The one b. 1803 d. 1831 offers a good chance for father of Wyman and B.F. but a bit of a stretch for Samuel M., IF, indeed, Samuel was truly BORN in 1814/15, and not later.
Another point of interest is that Samuel who died in 1831 is NOT enumerated in household of his father, nor, it would seem, anywhere in NH in 1830 US Census.
There's one in Rindge, NH who was 20-30, with a son, 5-10 (Samuel M?) but no younger sons. He had two daughters under 5, and a wife aged 20-30. (longshot but amongst possibles)
One in Holderness.. 2 sons 5-10, 1 son 10-15, two men, one 30-40, one 40- 50, 1 daughter under 5, 1 5-10, 2 10-15, wife 30-40. Best (likelihood, IF 2 youngest sons entered in wrong block)
One in Concord that COULD be, if much extended family or workers listed in household:
1 son under 5, 2 sons 5-10, 1 son 15-20 (Samuel M.?), three adult males (1 30-40 Samuel?) 1 40-50 and one 50-60.
2 dau under 5, 1 dau 5-10, 1 dau 15-20, adult females - 1 20-30, 1 40-50, 2 50-60.
One in Dunbarton with young ones:
2 males under 5, 2 males 5-10, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 female under 5, 1 female 40-50 (elder wife?)
One in Wilmot most likely Samuel Sr (Deacon - one who married Betsey Hartford)
Listed just above Micah, here are counts for both:
Samuel, 3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1. 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1
Micah, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1. 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 1
Based on known family of Samuel b. 1781, the one male 50-60 would be Samuel (Deacon)
Of his OWN loins, the count of Samuel's children (assuming all alive in 1830) would have looked like this:'
2 males under 5
1 female under 5 (maybe)
2 males 5-10
1 female 5-10 (maybe 2)
1 male 10-15 (maybe 2)
1 female 10-15
3 males 15-20
there are more but not applicable for this exercise.
That said, the following 'extras': 1 male under 5 (and that's it) Could be that male died young, and just isn't reflected amongst Samuel's kids.
Hmmm... what if the 'M' in Samuel stood for Micah???? He From: http://www.kimballfamily.com/Tree/5/5-314.htm
Joseph Kimball
(Richard, Benjamin, Samuel, Samuel)
Joseph was born in Plaistow, NH on September 10, 1749 and died in Whitefield, NH on October 27, 1821.
He married on December 29, 1780 to Eunice Gallup. She died on December 25, 1795, and was buried in the Gallup cemetery at North Hartland, VT.
He married, 2nd, about 1800 to Lucy Holt.
He enlisted in 1776 in Col. Baldwin's Regiment. He was in the Canada expedition under Capt. Wyman. He was at the Battle of White Plains.
He was among the first settlers of Whitefield, going there in 1796. He assisted in organizing the town government in 1805, and was the first Town Clerk. he also served on the first board of Selectmen. He was a well educated man and was a Col. in the NH Militia.
The administration of his father's estate shows that he resided in Plainfield in 1789. There is considerable difficulty in keeping his history distinct from that of Joseph Kimball. They were both living in Plainfield at the same time and both prominent citizens. Some of the accounts say that he was born in CT, and otherwise mix him up very thoroughly with the other Joseph.

Father - Samuel Kimball
(Richard, Benjamin, Samuel)
Samuel was born in Bradford, MA on August 17, 1714 and died in Plaistow, NH in 1789
He married on December 21, 1736, Hannah Abbott of Andover, MA.
He was a farmer and lived in that part of Haverhill which, after the line was run, became Plaistow, NH. He seems to have lived on the border line between Plaistow and Atkinson, for on February 17, 1768, he petitioned that his property, both real and personal, might be transferred from Atkinson to Plaistow, and this was done.
Samuel Kimball of Plaistow was guardian of the children of Jonathan Dow of Plaistow on February 27, 1768. In his father's will he is called of Haverhill, and received the portion of his father's estate situated in that town. He represented Atkinson and Plaistow in the Provincial Congress, at Exeter on December 21, 1775, and was a member of the same body in 1776. Administration of his estate was granted to his son, Joseph, then of Plainsfield, NH on August 28, 1789.

He married on June 21, 1711 to Eunice Chadwick.
His will was made June 30, 1739, proven August 1739. His son James was to have his rights in Penny Cook alias Rumford, NH (now Concord). Son Andrew to have his father's property in Chester, NH. Samuel bought from Moses Day all that land and right in saw-mill that had been set off to 'Abigail, formerly Kimball, now my wife out of her father Benjamin's Estate.'

Great Grandfather - Benjamin Kimball
(Richard)
Benjamin was born in 1637, about the time that his father moved from Watertown to Ipswich, Massachusetts. He died in Bradford, MA, on June 11, 1696.
He was probably a resident of Exeter, NH in 1659, a carpenter by trade. Removed to Salisbury, MA, and was on the trial jury in 1662. Was a resident of Rowley, MA 12 May 1663, when he bought land in Rowley of Elizabeth Starret of Haverhill. At this time Rowley included within its limits the present Bradford, Georgetown and Groveland. his land was in what is now known as Bradford. On 20 Feb 1668, at the first town meeting in Merrimac, afterwards Bradford, he was chosen an overseer of the town. He was called of that town in 16 Mar 1670 and 15 Mar 1674. On 6 Jan 1675, he and his wife Mercy of Bradford, MA, sold forty acres of land to the inhabitants of that town for the use of the minister. On 23 Nov 1667, he bought several tracts of land. Among them was land which once belonged to his brother Thomas Kimball, who was killed by Indians on May 3, 1676. On May 16, 1683, residents of Bradford and other nearby towns sent a petition to the General Court asking 'that a troop be raised out of Andover, Bradford, Topsfield & Rowley Village,' as 'Newbury is far remote from us.' Benjamin Kimball's name is at the top of the list of signatures. It was also signed by Richard Kimball, either the son, or nephew, of Benjamin. Richard Kimball, his brother, died in 1676. On May 17, 1683, the General Court concurred with the petition, and established 'a Foot Compani and one of Horse,' commissioning and appointing 'Mr. John Osgood to be Capt. of the Troop....& Mr. Benj. Kimball, Cornet.' 'Ben: Kimbal' and others signed, July 9, 1690, a notice that they 'are ready & voluntarily offer our selvis to serve God, our King & Country in ye designed Expedition for Canada.' This would have been the first expedition to take the fort at Louisburg, in Nova Scotia. His house was in the west parish of old Bradford, not far from the ancient cemetery. He was a wheelwright and a farmer.
He married in Salisbury, MA, in April of 1661 to Mercy Hazeltine. She was the daughter of Robert and Ann (Langley) Hazeltine. (Robert Hazeltine and his brother John were among the earliest settlers of that part of Rowley that is now known as Bradford, and Robert had afterwards permission to ferry passengers across the Merrimack river. The first marriage recorded in the Rowley books is 'Robert Hazeltine and Ann his wife were married 10mo. 23, 1639.' Mercy was born '16, 8mo, 1642' (October 16, 1642), and died January 5, 1707-8. She was one of the first members received into the first church of Bradford, when she, with sixteen other women, were admitted on January 7, 1682-3. Her will, made May 14, 1706, was proven February 2m 1707-8. She gives the names of her children in the will.
His inventory showed that he was well off for the times. The total amount of the estate was £1060.7s. Among the assets was a one-forth interest in a saw-mill in Haverhill, Massachusetts, near the Amesbury line, that he bought from Matthew Harriman. This interest was handed down in the family for several generations.
The gravestones of Benjamin and Mercy Kimball may still be seen in the cemetery in Bradford.

Great Great Grandfather - Richard Kimball(1-1)
Richard came to this country in the ship Elizabeth, William Andrews, master, in 1634. He appears to have gone, soon after landing, to Watertown, Mass. He settled in a different part of the town from that occupied by Henry Kemball (1). According to Bond and other writers Richard and Henry were brothers. There is but little evidence to support this supposition, and it seems to be mainly founded on the fact that they both came over on the same vessel. Richard is said on the shipping list to be thirty-nine years old, but he was probably somewhat older. He was, however, in the prime of life, and soon became a prominent and active man in the new settlement.
He first settled in Watertown, and his home lot is thus given by Dr. Henry Bond: 'Richard Kimball, six acres, bounded on the north by Cambridge, east by the land of W. Hamlet, south by the highway, and west by land of Edward White.'
This lot was situated a long way from the centre of the town. It is now in Cambridge, which many years ago annexed the eastern part of Watertown. The lot was situated near what is now the corner of Huron avenue and Appleton street, and near springs of water.
He was proclaimed freeman on 6 May 1635, and was a proprietor in 1636-7. Soon after this date he was invited to remove to Ipswich, where they were in need of a competent man to act as wheelwright to the new settlement. Here he spent the remainder of his days. The town granted him a house lot, 23 Feb 1637, 'next adjoining Goodwin Simons at the west end of the town.' He was also granted at the same time '40 acres Beyond the North Riuer near the land of Robert Scott.' In 1639 he had liberty to pasture 'two cows free.' On 'the last day of the last month 1641' he is mentioned as 'Among the Commoners of Ipswich.' He was appointed one of the seven men on 1 Mar 1645. On the '22nd day of the tenth mo. 1647' he was allowed two Pounds for killing two foxes.
His services as wheelwright were appreciated by his townspeople, for he was permitted in January, 1649, 'to fell such White Oaks as he hath occasion to use about his trade for the town use.'
19 Dec 1648, he contributed with others three shillings as his annual proportion toward the sum of £27, 7s, as a rate for the service of their military leader, Major David Dennison, then commander of the military forces of Essex and Norfolk counties.
In September, 1652, he was one of the appraisers of the estate of John Cross, one of the earliest settlers of Ipswich.
On the '25th day, 11 mo 1652,' he and his son Richard, Wheelwrights, 'for £14, seel 30 acres upland bounding on the land of Mr. John Winthrop,' also another lot of land of ten acres of 'medow.' 1653 he was one of a committee of three to survey fences in the common fields north of the river. His brother-in-law, Thomas Scott, died Feb. 1653-4 and he was joint executor with Edmund Bridges of his will. On May 25, 1654, their official position was recognized by Thomas Scott, Jr., then a resident of Stamford, Conn.
In 1660 he was granted the right 'to fell 20 white oak trees to make wheels for the townsmen their use.' In 1664 he owned 43 shares in 'Plumb Island.'
Richard Kimball was of the parish of Rattlesden, county of Suffolk, England, as is shown by the following entry on the parish register:
' Henry Kemball ye sonne of Richard and Vrsula his wife baptized 1615 12 of August.'
Ursula Scott, Richard's first wife, and mother of all his children, was the daughter of Henry Scott of Rattlesden. The Scott family had been in Suffolk county almost as long as the Kemball family. George Scott, grandfather of Henry, was buried at Bradsfield, St. George, 30 Aug 1562. Ursula was baptised at Rattlesden 14 Feb 1596-7, and married Richard Kemball in 1613. The will of Henry Scott, Ursula's father, serves to establish the relationship between the families.
'To Abigale Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21 to Henrie Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21 to Elizabeth Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21 to Richard Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21.' He also mentions his wife Martha, and sons Roger and Thomas Scott. Thomas Scott came with his wife, Elizabeth (Strutt) Scott and children to this country on the same vessel as Richard and his family, and they brought Martha (Whatlock) Scott with them. Elizabeth Strutt was also of Rattlesden; her parents were probably Christopher and Anne (Waller) Strutt. She married Thomas Scott at Rattlesden, 20 Jul 1620. Among the children of Thomas Scott was Elizabeth, bapt. 18 Nov 1623, in Suffolk, and given in the shipping list as 9 years of age. This Elizabeth Scott married in Rowley, MA in 1647, John Spofford, from an ancient Yorkshire family (pre-dating 106, according to the records). John Spofford was the son of another John Spofford, who, in 1662, lost his ministery in Silkston, Yorkshire for 'non-conformity.' He was, of course, a Puritan. A daughter of John and Elizabeth (Scott) Spofford, Sarah Spofford, born 22 Mar 1661-2, married Richard Kimball(3). The passengers on the Elizabeth were very much an inter-related group; it also included Munnings, undoubtedly related to Richard Kimball.
Henry Scott's will was made '24 Sept. 1625 in the 21st year of James of England by Henry Scott of Rattlesden in the Co. of Suffolk and the diocese of Norwich.' It was proved in the court of the Arch deacon of Sudbury 10 January 1624-5. As Thomas Scott settled in Ipswich this may have had some influence in causing Richard's removal from Watertown. Henry Scott was buried in Rattlesden 24 Dec. 1624. (Parish Register.)
Ursula (Scott) Kimball apparently died in Ipswich 1 Mar 1660, although another record gives her death as 17 June 1656. Richard Kimball married second, 23 Oct 1661, Margaret (Cole) Dow, widow of Henry Dow of Hamptom, New Hampshire. There were no children from this marriage, although, from his will, Richard evidently held Margaret Dow's children from her first marriage in great affection. (NEW&GR), (Hotten), (Spofford)
Richard Kimball's Children
23. Abigail (2-2), born Rattlesden, Suffolk County, England. Died in Salisbury, MA June 17, 1658
24. Henry (2-3), born Rattlesden, Suffolk County, England. There seems to be some doubt as to Henry's exact age. It is given on the shipping list as aged 15, in 1634. This would give the year of his birth as 1619. But it is evident that ages on the shipping lists are only approximate. Henry himself deposes in court, September 28, 1669, that he is aged 53. This would give the year of his birth as 1616. But the parish records at Rattlesden are as follows: '12, Aug. 1615 Henry Kemball ye sone of Richard and Vrsula his wife baptized.'
25. Elizabeth (2), born Rattlesden, 1621. There is no record of her marriage. She was alive in 1675.
