THE PACKARD FAMILY SAMUEL PACKARD [#354 & #378], d. Bridgewater, MA Nov. 7, 1684,m.ELIZABETH ____, d. after Oct. 27, 1694. She m(2) John Washburn,bap.Evesham, Eng. Nov. 28, 1621, d. Bridgewater, MA Nov. 12, 1686. Samuel Packard and his wife Elizabeth, with one child, came fromWindham,near Hingham, Norfolk, England. They came on the shipDilligent ofIpswich and landed Aug. 10, 1638. There were 133passengers aboard andthe same year they settled in Hingham, MA. Samuelwas among those grantedland in Hingham in the years from 1635 to1640.[1] The Packards came toNew England with Reverend Robert Peck'scompany, which also included theStephen Gates family. Rev. Peck camefrom the Hingham, Norfolk area ofEngland and had been convicted as farback as 1615 of teaching thePuritan scruples against the requirementto kneel when entering churchand of saying it is superstition to bowat the name of Jesus. Peck wassuspended in 1636, but he continued tohold secret services for selectparishoners. Only the threat of summonsbefore the draconian Court ofHigh Commission in London drove theelderly minister and his devotedfollowers into exile in 1638. Somefellow villagers had already moved toNew England and settled in 1635at Bear Cove on the south shore ofMassachusetts Bay. That year BearCove was renamed Hingham. The NewHingham would prove as independentand ornery as Old Hingham. The churchretained its presbyterian biasamong its congregationalist neighbors andfiercely asserted its localrights in the 1645 militia case, creating aconstitutional crisis inthe colony. About 200 people came with the Peckcompany, depletingHingham by about a third of its residents.[6] From Hingham the family removed to Weymouth about 1653, where Samuelwasa selectman. The family then removed to Bridgewater between 1660and1663. Samuel served as a constable in Bridgewater in 1664[3/4:61]and1674[3/5:145] and held an innkeeper's license in 1671.[3/5:54] InMarchof 1671-2 a Samuel Packard (maybe the son) was fined one pound bythePlymouth Colony Court for "selling liquor and cyder totheIndians".[3/5:128] He was also one of twelve laying out highwaysinBridgewater in 1667 [3/4:1545] and 1668[3/4:1923] Samuel had six sons and six daughters. The sons were all soldiers inKingPhillip's War in 1675 and 1676.[1] It has been stated by some thatSamuelprobably served as well. However this seems unlikely due to hisadvancedage at the time (71 or so). His will was dated Oct. 29, 1684and probatedMarch 3, 1684-5, he being then between 70 and 80 years ofage. Samuelsigned the will as "Samuel Packer".[2] Since then the namehas mostlytaken the form of Packard. His widow remarried after hisdeath to JohnWashburn of Bridgewater. July 1, 1684 a Samuel (possibly son of the immigrant) was on thegrandjury that found Robert Trayes, negro, guilty of shooting DanielStandlakeof Scituate in the leg. Standlake's shattered leg had to beamputatedfrom which he subsequently died. Trayes was let off with afine as theshooting was found to be an accident (or "misadventure" asstated in therecords).[3/6:1412] Several sources list Samuel's parents as George and Mary (Wither)Packardof Colmans, Whitsun Green, Stonham Aspal Parrish, Suffolk, whoweremarried at Woolpit Parrish March 27, 1600. George was buried atStonhamAspal Dec. 14, 1623. Mary died at Stowmarket, England in1652.[5] Howeverno proof is given to connect Samuel of Norfolk countyEngland and ofMassachusetts with Samuel, the son of George and MaryPackard, who wasbaptised in Suffolk in 1612. In fact, it is believedthat Samuel ofMassachusetts was born around 1604, and since baptismswere performed oninfants, it would seem highly unlikely the twoSamuels were the same man.Furthermore, George Packard left anoncupative will which did not mentionany children by name. Mary,however, listed the children but did notinclude Samuel.[5] Whether theommission was due to the fact that he hadalready died or was left outbecause he had moved to America is notknown. These same sources givethis Samuel's wife's name as ElizabethStream, again with no proof. Sheis suppossed to have been born about1614 and died in Hingham, MA June17, 1716. Again, it seems improbablethat the woman lived to 102 yearsof age. If she was his wife, either thedeath date is incorrect orSamuel had two wives named Elizabeth, thelater one being much youngerthan the first.

5485 | He was taken into the 1st Salis. chh., June 27, 1742. Tradition says that he studied medicine a while, but, the physician dying with whom he studied, he did not continue it. He afterwards taught school, and also went to sea. He was a stout, heavy man, though not very tall, and was much noted for his strength. It is said that he carried a barrel of water from the river to his house (in Boscawen), about thirty rods, when he was over sixty years old. He was a soldier in the Indian war, and many stories are still told of his strength and courage. His descendants say, that, while stationed at Saco, he was once on a scout below, when his party discovered an Indian. The captain, sergeant, and Joseph immediately started in pursuit, but the latter soon distanced the others, and overtook the Indian. At another time, he and his captain were out alone after the cows, when their dog began to bark, and they became aware that a number of Indians were lurking behind the log, "where [Maj.?] Sorrel's grave was." The captain, however, frightened them by shouting: "If you see an inch of their heads, put a bullet in!" and the two retreated with their faces towards the log and their guns ready to fire, till it was safe to turn round and run towards their encampment. One of the Indians afterwards said to the captain: "Me might kill you and yaller-headed man,--(91) Joseph, who had light hair,--you out after cows, little ellamoose [dog] say ya ya ya." "You cowardly dog, you didn't dare to," answered the captain; to which the Indian only replied: "Me no orders kill captain." According to the statement of the Indian, there were fourteen others with him behind the log. (718) Amos6 Hoit states that Joseph was one of the rangers under Capt. Bradford, at Saco, in the French and Indian war, and thinks he was a clerk or orderly sergeant. He was once out with the captain's son, and fell in with a party of Indians, yet they were not harmed, as the captain's son had previously done the Indians a kindness. Joseph removed to Boscawen, N. H., about Sep., 1761, and was a deacon of the Cong. chh. | Hoyt, Joseph (I32803)
