Background

For more information see: Sherman, Robert Moody & Ruth Wilder, Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: vol. 20 Samson

Biography

In General, tracing the mtDNA descendants of Henry Samson has been much more difficult than other Mayflower Passengers (such as Howland, Brewster or Hopkins). The General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) has published a number of "Mayflower Families through Five Generations" volumes (aka the "Silver Books"). These books give a biography for each Mayflower passenger as well as their descendants for five generations (and sometimes into the sixth and seventh generation). Volume 20 (in three parts) deals with the family and descendants of Henry Samson. Part 1 deals with the first four generations of descendants. Part 2 deals with the daughters, as well as son James. By the Fifth Generation, there are quite a few instances where a birth or baptismal record for a daughter is all that is known.

The marriage record of Anne Plummer to Henry Samson, Plymouth 6 Feb 1635/6[1] give us the maiden name for Anne. However, we do not know of her parentage or even when/how she came to Plymouth Colony.[2] The will of John Barnes[3] calls Anne his "Cozen". The first wife of John Barnes was Mary Plummer[4] How Mary and Anne were related (assuming the relationship is through this marriage) is still unknown.

Henry and Anne were among the earliest settlers of Duxburrow (now Duxbury), Mass. Anne died there sometime between 24 Dec 1668[5] and 24 Dec 1684[6]
