Background
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. The will of John Barnes[2] calls Anne his "Cozen". The first wife of John Barnes was Mary Plummer[3] 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 Duxbury, Mass. Anne died there sometime between 24 Dec 1668[4] and 24 Dec 1684[5]

mtDNA Results
We are currently looking for volunteers who are matrilineal descendants of Mary to take a full mtDNA test.
mtDNA Descendants
FIRST GENERATION
Anne and Henry had a total of Nine children, but no records survive listing their birth dates. In 1651 Gov. William Bradford reported they had seven children, so the youngest two were born after this date. The exact order of births is unknown, and various compilers have given the children in different orders. They had four sons and five daughters. The daughters (in order as named in their father's will) are: Elizabeth, Hannah, ________, Mary, & Dorcas. One daughter's given name is not currently known, but Henry's will calls her the wife of John Hanmore. This daughter only had two sons. Daughter Mary (married John Summers) did not have any children. Thus the mtDNA line can only come down from the other three daughters
SECOND GENERATION
Elizabeth married before 1662 Robert Sproat/Sprout. They had three sons and five daughters (Mercy, Elizabeth, Mary, Anna, Hannah)
Hannah married (Duxbury 20 Mar 1665/6) Josiah Holmes. They had three sons and three daughters (Hannah, Dorcas, Mary). The Henry Samson "Silver Book" fails to list any mtDNA lines from any of Hannah's daughters.[1]

They had three sons and seven daughters (Mary, Mercy, Elizabeth, Abigail, Anna, Desire & Grace) Elizabeth Sproat/Sprout never married Mary Sproat/Sprout never married Anna Sproat/Sprout married Ebenezer Richmond.

- ↑ Daughter Hannah Holmes (born Duxbury 11 Oct 1667) is known to have married a Lambert. But there are two different Lamberts who could be her husband (brothers Thomas & John).
