    d. 16 Apr. 1672 Hampton, NH

    On 30 Jan. 1647 at court in Ipswich, MA "John Legate in behalf of Samuell Fogg, his kinsman, V. William Fuller of Hampton. For not teaching him the trade of a locksmith. He had four more years to serve. To be bound for the remainder of his time to Isaack Cosen, an expert smith of Rowley". Samuel was allowed 30/ costs and 2/ for ferriage.(1) William Fuller was a planter and locksmith. Samuel was first apprrenticed to him Sept. 1646 by his kinsman Mr. John Legate.

    "William Fuller of Hampton, having had notice of the order of court putting out his servant Samuel Fogg to Isacck Couzens of Rowley, an expert smith, to learn his trade and presented his servant to the court and was thus relieved."(1) Isaac was a gunsmith and locksmith and arrived in Rowley with his wife Elizabeth in 1644 when he bought the house and blacksmith shop of Edmund Bridges. In June 1652 he sold his property and received a grant in Haverhill and was a blacksmith there. Samuel was a witness for his new master the next year and was made a freeman 3 Oct. 1654.

    Capt. Christopher Hussey of Hampton sold to Steven Sanborne and Samuel Fogge for �70 a house and lot in Hampton 10 Aug. 1651. In Aug. 1653 Samuel bought one share in cow common from Jonathan Redman and another share from Henry Roby. Joseph Shaw of Hampton, planter sold to Samuel 10 acres of marsh in Hampton in 1663.

    In 1658 a review of the old grants was made:
    "1 Impris: Eight Acres & Halfe of upland bought of Mr. Hussey, being the one half of His grant in the East field lying between the medow of the sd Samuel Fogg towards the East and the land of Wiliam Moulton sometimes Mr. Husses towards the West, abutting upon the High Waye towards the East & the land of Will. Sanborn towards the West bee it more or less as it is layd outt.

    3. Itt. A quarter of an acre of land in the Meeting house green the wh was granted to John Cross sometimes of Hampton, & by the sd John Crosse sould unto Roger Shaw by the sd Roger Shaw given to Samll Fogge and so appointed by the town to ly adjoining to that peece of land whereupon his House standeth wch was formerly Mr. Husseys: being bounded with the sayd peece of land towards the South & otherwise soe bounded with the Meetinghouse Green, more or less as it is layd outt."(2)

    In the drawing of lots about 1669 Samuel drew lot No.60 of 100 acres.(3) The farm owned by John H. Fogg was probably land owned by Samuel. This farm has never been conveyed by deed, but passed down through the generations through the original grant.(4)

    On 14 Apr. 1669 twelve men including Samuel received 40 acres to be improved beginning at the western boundary at Exeter and extending towards town.

    Samuel was a soldier in King William's War and was a selectman in 1655 and in 1663.

    In his will Samuell ffoge of Hampton gave his wife Mary half of his salt marsh on the town side of the Falls River formerly purchased from Roger Shaw, half of 8 acres of land bordering William Sanborn's land, the west end of his house, two cows, a mare, "and whatt Howsehold stuff she brought into the Howse with her or whatt beding or other Household stuff she hath Else whear to bee."

Samuel Jr. was to pay the others legacies. His son Daniel received �15 and his wife Mary's third which he would inherit at her decease.

    4IV. DANIEL (JOHN 1, JOHN 2, SAMUEL 3)

    b.16 Apr. 1660 Hampton, NH
    m.c.1684 HANNAH (2) LIBBY (b.c.1660, d. between 1730 & 1735)
    d. 9 June 1755 Kittery, ME

    Daniel took the oath of allegience to Massachusetts 16 Dec. 1678 at Hampton.(1)

    Daniel was a blacksmith and moved to Scarborough (Spurwink River) and later to Black Point where he received several grants of land and was constable in 1688. Due to problems with the Indians Daniel moved to Portsmouth, NH in 1690.

    In 1700 he settled in Eliot next to the Libbys. The land was on the Old Road an ancient Indian trail and his homesite was near several springs. He bought the "Knowles Purchase" 18 Dec. 1699 from the estate of the late Major Thomas Clark and his co-heirs for �300 along with Joseph Hammond, David Libby, Matthew Libby and Stephen Tobey. The parcel contained 870 acres.

    In 1714 Daniel was a constable in Kittery and was one of several men who organized the church in 1721.

    The following story was published in the Fogg Association booklet: "In case of attack all were to shelter in the Hammond and Rogers houses, and post holes were made under the eaves and for a season a palisade surrounded the shelter. But one day in the sunlight the enemy were at the Fogg doors. Mrs. Fogg barred the doors and the family posted themselves, ready to shoot. The Libbys caught wind of the trouble while they were making grease into soap, and the Indians found themselves spattered with boiling grease."

    "At a meeting of ye Military officers of ye town of Kittery together with ye Selectmen of sd Town, Sept. 15th & 17th, 1722, for ye Ordering what houses be made Defencible in sd town by virtue of An Act of ye Governmt, passed at their Session ye 7th day of Augst, 1722- Ordered that ye several houses following be made Defencible, Vizt;... 11. Mr. John Rogers. And that ye Inhabitants and familys from his own home to Daniel Fogg and Daniel Fogg Junr Inclusively Lodge therein."(2)

    In his will Daniel Fogg of Kittery, Yeoman gave his entire estate to his son James with James to pay the others portions. He gave his sons Daniel, John, Joseph and Seth 2/6 stating that this "Shall be the whole of their portions of my Estate" since they had already received other property. He gave his daughter Hannah Rogers 50/, Rebecca Pilsbury 15/ and Sarah Hanscom 50/. The children of his deceased daughter Mary Brooks received 50/ to be divided among them. James was appointed executor of the will which was dated 14 July 1747.(3)
