From The Storrs Family, by Charles Storrs, 1886
"Samuel Storrs (4th) was also known as "Captain Samuel, but he died before his father, Oct., 28, 1776, in his forty-seventh year. His granddaughter, Mrs. Hannah G. Cone of Wilmington, Conn., says of him: "My grandfather Storrs died before my remembrance, but I have heard my mother say he was a tall, stately man, like most of his kin."

Jehial, eldest son of Samuel and Huldah Snow Storrs was born in Hartford, Conn., and married Rachel Mc Call, "of Scotch descent."
