He married first in Charlestown, 8 Aug. 1670, ANNA LUDKIN, born in Charlestown, died there, [ref 79:106] 26 May 1676, daughter of AARON and ANNA (HEPBURN) LUDKIN. He married secondly in Charlestown, 7 Mar. 1676-7, FAITH JEWETT, born, probably in Rowley, 8 Oct. 1652, died in Charlestown, 26 Feb. 1738, daughter of MAXIMILIAN and ELLEN (___) BOYNTON) JEWETT. Samuel Dowse was a cordwainer or shoemaker in Charlestown throughout his very long life, being made a freeman there, 7 Oct. 1674. The admissions to Full Communion in the First Church give: 9 Feb. 1672 Samuel Douse; 15 June 1673 Hannah Douse the wife of Saml Dowse (deacon Ludkin's daughter); 23 Sept. 1676, Faith Dowse: the wife of our br: Samuel Dowse. (Her father Deacon Jewet of Rowley.) On the 23 Mar. 1674, Samuel Dowse was one of two men "to look after the boys" in the Church for the ensuing six months; was a tything man in 1679, and Deacon in 1712. In this last year he was also Sealer of weights and measures in Charlestown. He served in King Philip's War, being in Major Savage's company under command of Lieut. Gillam from February to May, 1676, being credited, 24 June, 1676, with �2 2s., for service. It is possible that after his second marriage, he may have lived in Boston for a short time since his daughter Anne was baptised in the Old South Church in 1679. He was evidently not quite sane at the time of his death by reason of his extreme age, so his will was disallowed....
