Notes:

Name:
Samuel Mather, the second son of Richard who removed from Dorchester to Lyme, was born Jan. 3, 1684, and was but little over four years old when his father died. He was a namesake of his uncle, the Rev. Samuel Mather of Windsor, Conn. His father had bought a farm the year preceding his death, and Samuel as he grew up assisted in its cultivation. As he was not married until he was forty-one, we may assume that he was either very bashful or not very successful in his business or his love-making. He finally on New Year's day, 1712, found a Saybrook bride in the person of Deborah Champion, daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Brockway) Champion, the first settler of the name in Saybrook. They were blessed with four daughters and one son, our lineal ancestor, who was called Richard after his grandfather, the first of the family in Lyme. He married Deborah Ely. Samuel Mather died in Lyme, July 17, 1725, having been married but thirteen years.

Samuel married Deborah CHAMPION on 1 Jan 1712. Deborah was born on 26 Apr 1697. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
