General Notes: Husband - Lieut. Samuel Stiles

---

On page 52 of The Stiles Family in America -- Genealogies of the Connecticut Family (Henry Reed Stiles, 1895) we find the following sketch of Lieut. Samuel Stiles:

Lieut. Samuel Stiles, born Jan. 15, 1705-6; resided in Windsor, Conn. He married Mary Phelps, of Windsor, Feb. 19, 1729-30. Their gravestones, of red sandstone, in the Windsor graveyard, preserve their epitaphs, as follows:

"In Memory of Lieut Samuel / Stiles, who Died / Febry: 17th A. D. 1792 / in the 80th Year / of his Age. / Here lies Buried in the dust / One that in Jesus put his Trust."

"In Memory of / Mrs. Mary wife of / Lieut. Samuel Stiles / who died Oct 6th 1799 / aged 93 years,"

The tax list of 1736 gives this exhibition of his taxable property: "One head, 18; house land, 3 acres, 03; meadow land, 42 acres, 31:00; upland, 9 acres, 14:10; five horses, 15; one of two yrs. old 02; two oxen, 08; two of 2 yrs. old, 04; three cows, 09; swine of one yr. old, 07; one swine, 01. Total £103:00.
That he was a person of good social position is evidenced not only by family correspondence, yet extant, but by various articles of personal use which have been handed down to his descendants. Among these are a curious leather pocket-book, or wallet, now in possession of the author of this Genealogy, stamped on one side with his name "Lt SAMVEL STILES," and on the other with the date, 1737; and, in the possession of Miss Mary Stiles, of Windsor, Conn., a small letter box, and also a case, containing a pair of scales, with weights, for the weighing of coin -- both covered with red leather, handsomely stamped in gilt.

BIRTH DATE:

"Connecticut Births and Christenings, 1649-1906" at FamilySearch.org says that he was born 10 Jan 1705.
