Note on Husband: Samuel * FOGG

Samuel 1 Fogg, of Hampton, NH (then the Massachusetts Bay Colony), first appears in New England 30 Oct 1647, when Mr. John Legate [Legali] brought suit in the Quarterly Court at Ipswich, on behalf of kinsman Samuell Fogg against William Fullar of Hampton, for not teaching him the trade of locksmith. Samuel had four years of his apprenticeship left to serve. The court released him from his apprenticeship to Fuller, binding him for the remainder of his time to Isaac Cozen, an expert smith of Rowley, and awarded the apprentice 30s and costs.1,2

Samuel Fogg was a juryman of Hampton court 4 Aug 1653, 14 Oct 1663, and 11 Oct 1664. He signed a petition for the release of Robert Pike which was presented to the General Court May 1654, and when questioned by the investigating committee as to his reason for signing, certified that he had signed the petition unadvisedly. Freeman of Hampton, 3 Oct 1654. Selectman 1665 and 1663, constable 1660. In 1663 he had two shares in the cow common. One of 68 members of the church at Hampton, 18 Sep 1671.

"He was a farmer, owned a farm in Hampton, on which he lived and died. He was early a member of the Congregational church in that place, and probably Anne, his first wife; his second wife joined it May 29, 1698."1,3

MHGR FOGG FAMILY (by William Fogg (54) of Eliot)The name of fogg appears to be of great antiquity in England and Wales. Some by that name were from the county of Lancashire, near the borders of North Wales, and settled in the county of Kent, in the reign of Henry I, or about the year 1112 or 1115, or about fifty years after the Norman conquest; some of whom settled in the town of Ashford in that county (which is about fifty-four miles from London) in the reign of Henry IV, or about 1400. There was a Sir John Fogg who founded a college in Ashford, and died there in 1490; his son Sir John Fogg resided there; his will is dated Nov. 4, 1533, by which he appoints Edward Lee, Archbishop of York, overseer of his estate. There was also a Sir Francis Fogg at Ashford, who acquired the manor Repton, by his marriage with the co-heiress of the Valoigns; these families wre of high standing and of much consequence for many ages, but they are wno entirely extinct in Ashford, and perhaps in the county. Calamy gives an account of a Rev. Rebert Fogg, an ejected minister in 1662, in North Wales, who from some traits in his disposition we might reasonably suppose was nearly related to some (by that name) who early settled in this country.(1) But the common progenitor of most, and perhaps all by that name in this country was Samuel Fogg, of Hampton, NH. According to the tradition, three brothers by the name of Fogg emigrated from Wales to this country prior to the middle of the 17th century; two of them, Samuel and Robert or Ralph are said to have settled in Rhode Island (if there was one) we have no knowledge. Robert or Ralph is supposed to have lived and died unmarried. But Mr. Felt speaks of a Ralph Fogg in Salem among the first settlers of that town, but says that he returned to England. At what precise time Samuel Fogg emigrated to this country is unknown, but he was evidently among the very early, if not the first settlers of Hampton, in 1638. He married first Anne Shaw of Hampton, the 12th day, 10th month, 1652. She died about 1661. He married his second wife, Mary Page of that place, about 1662. He died at Hampton, April 16, 1672. His widow, Mary, died March 8, 1699, aged 56 years. He was a farmer, owned a farm in Hampton, on which he lived and died. He was early a member of the Congregational Church in that place, and probably Anne, his first wife; his second wife joined it May 29, 1698. His children were:2--Samuel b.@16533--Joseph b. @16554--John b.@16565--Mary b.@16586--Daniel b.4-16-1660M2 7--Seth b. @16658--James b. @16689--Hannah b. @1670

In 1646 he was apprenticed to his uncle, John Legate and in 1647 (with 5 years to serve) to William Fuller of Hampton. Samuel sued Fuller for not teaching him the locksmith trade and Samuel was "bound over to expert locksmith Isaac Cosen of Rowley for the remaining period". He was a Hampton proprietor in 1650, a freeman Oct. 3, 1654 and a selectman 1655/63. In 1658 he recieved several land grants and bought Capt. Christopher Hussey's original homestead at Bride's Hill, the Anthony Emery place of 1893; the large farm has never been conveyed by deed but has passed down from generation to generation by virtue of the original grant. He belonged to the Congregational Church. Mary joined in May 29, 1698. He was a constable in 1660.

Dow's History of Hampton, NH"Owners of the Shares in the Cow Common, March 23, 1663.........Origl rights and how their titles were derived from the original owners.The Almes Lot Samuel Fogg, 1 share bought of John Redman.Isaac Perkins Samuel Fogg, 1 share bought of Henry Roby.---------------------- --------------------------------------------" Bounties for New Settlements""...A fter the lapse of a quarter of a century from the first settlement of the town, the population was still confined to the part of the territory lying near the seacoast; but now there was on the part of many of the inhabitants a desire that other portions should be occupied. When the New Plantation had been laid out a little more than a year, the town, for the purpose of procuring its immediate settlement, agreed upon a measure that seemed likely, to some extent at least, to effect an object so desirable. As an inducement for persons to settle there, it was voted, November 24, 1664, that any who would give in their names to the selectmen should be allowed to take up twenty acres of land to a man, for house lots, on condition that they would make use of their lots, for this purpose, within twelve months. Soon afterwards (December 9), permission was given to such of the inhabitants as had land granted to them in the township near Great pond, to take up ten acres each in Ashing swamp, between Ass brook and the township, which should be laid out at the discretion of the lot-layers, and should be accounted as so much of the land granted to them. The plan however, did not prove successful, and a few years afterward it was thought expedient to offer other and greater inducements. It was then voted, that those inhabitants of the town, who would give in their names at a meeting to be holden for that purpose, and agree to improve land at the New Plantation, by building upon it and fencing it, should be allowed to take up forty acres apiece, to begin at the northern part of the western boundry, next to Exeter, and have their lots laid thence homeward towards the town, provided that none of them should extend more than three-quarters of a mile eastward of Ass brook. This was April 14, 1669. Twelve men accepted the terms, and the town voted that lots should be laid out for them in two divisions. These twelve men were: William Sanborn, Abraham Perkins, Sen. Samuel Fogg, Nathaniel Batchelder, John Moulton, Morris Hobbs, William Marston, John Smith (the cooper), Henry Moulton, Robert Smith, Anthony Taylor, Thomas Marston."
